Here is a scene from animator Bruno Bozzetto's 1977 film Allegro non troppo, which depicts Claude Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia. Debussy's piece was inspired by a poem by Stéphane Mallarmé . Sensuality abounds in both poem and music.

We recently got an email from a Ron in Stanley, NC who was looking for a list we used to offer suggesting music selections for beginning classical listeners. I could vaguely remember the list, but I couldn't find one anywhere in the files here at the station.

Support a local young cellist who's going places: Kendall Ramseur. He needs a new cello to take it to the next level. Drop by his blog, see photos of him at the 2008 Grammys and drop a few bucks via paypayl to help out: http://getkendallanewcello.blogspot.com/ (Kendall performed for WDAV's "The Main Street Sessions" last season.)
