Gray Sky in June
Janet Kunicki
Stormy sky on a summer afternoon

At the end of my show on the radio today, a serious storm rolled through the area. On the radio -- Symphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius.  As surge protectors beeped, people gathered at windows and doors to look outside and thunder shook parts of the building. I stopped everything else and listened to the finale.

Here's my recording of choice.

I haven't posted here in what feels like forever, but we'll be back with some new interviews and other posts over the next few weeks. I have just returned from a little vacation, and since I've been home, I've been on the radio during the day and participating in FestivALL every evening, especially with "A Moveable Feast," a little chamber music series in Charleston this week. You can read about it on the WV Gazette FestivALL blog in the post Aperetif Chamber Music.

Do you have a favorite stormy classic?
