How often have you heard classical music on Mountain Stage

I’ve only been here for a few years, but I haven’t noticed it happening too often (ever?)

So check out the current Mountain Stage Song of the Week . 

 

It starts with Bach and then it goes into Cat Stevens.  All of the songs on singer/songwriter Susan Werner’s latest album Classics employ this blending of classical music with songs from the 1960s and 1970s. 

The songs I’ve listened to are beautiful; I love her voice and the music blends together gracefully.

You can hear Susan Werner perform a set on this week’s Mountain Stage, Sunday at 3pm on West Virginia Public Radio or check if your local station plays Mountain Stage .

Werner,  Susan

Werner’s style is definitely her own, but pop music borrowing from classical being nothing new.  Those other connections could be another post, some day...

To keep up with what’s going on with Mountain Stage,  you don't have to go far -- they’re blogging too!
