Halloween Music
« on: 1 Nov 2011, 07:37 pm »
My local Central Ohio Classical Station broadcasted some great pieces last night, but I did not get to write down the titles or the Conductors:

Boccherini? The Devil's Music?

Dvorak?  Water Goblin.?

I could be completly of base with the Titles, but if anyone can recommend any Dynamic, Brooding, Haunting Pieces, or Dances with Great Performances, I would appreciate.
Thanks!

An easy choice with a lot of good music on it is the Telarc CD, with the Cincinnati Pops titled Chiller.
