Letter V Classical Radio this week

When the weather gets hot, I go for baroque. (Sorry.) You’ll hear a surprising variety of idioms, tone colors and effects in this program, which mixes music by familiar figures – Bach, Handel, Telemann – with works by worthy lesser-knowns of the 17th and 18th centuries.
