Last night, while listening to Classical station K297BI, I did a double take upon hearing an announcer introduce a piece for cello and flower pots. At first, I thought, "I must not have heard that correctly."
The announcer repeated it, though, and there was no mistake. The piece is "Boris Kerner" by Caroline Shaw. I know Classical pieces aren't meant to be segued, at least on the radio, but the haunting vibe of "Boris Kerner" would flow well into the "Mr. Coffee" movement of the David P. Jones piece, "Legal Highs."
There's a weirdly gratifying aspect of writing this type of blog; you never know when you'll be able to write about how a piece you've only heard thanks to a 1990s CD Review magazine sampler disc will dovetail with another piece you heard by chance on the radio.
