Greetings, music-lovers!  It's all-Asian every weekend on Cosmic Classics
on Passion 99.5FM.

This Saturday (24 July 1999), we feature Asian musicians who have been
making waves in the international classical music scene:

* Korean pianist KUN WOO PAIK takes on one of Prokofiev's most perplexing
-- and also most challenging -- scores, the Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor,
Op.16.

* American-Chinese star cellist YO-YO MA needs little introduction; listen
to his famous recording of Saint-Saens' Cello Concerto No.1 in A minor, Op.33.

* Besides Mozart, Japanese pianist MITSUKO UCHIDA is known also for playing
other composers' music.  Her ongoing Schubert cycle has invited both rave
reviews and merciless condemnation.  Decide for yourself this weekend as we
feature some Schubert from Ms Uchida.

Join me on Cosmic Classics, this Saturday, 3.50 to 5pm, on PASSION 99.5FM,
Singapore's first and only arts and culture station.

And for lovers of orchestral music, the Deutsche Welle Music Festival,
which comes on at 3pm before Cosmic Classics, brings you to the
International Festival of Baden-Baden 1998, where the World Orchestra for
Peace conducted by VALERY GERGIEV pays tribute to its founder, the late Sir
Georg Solti.  Hear them in, among other things, Brahms' 2nd Symphony in D,
Op.73.

Enjoy!
