In this Talk of Iowa segment, host Charity Nebbe is joined by Mark Simmet and Tony Dehner of IPR’s Studio One to look at some of the music you can hear at
As you ponder what to give as gifts for the music-lovers in your life, consider the expertise of some Iowa Public Radio music hosts. In this hour of Talk of Iowa, Charity Nebbe hears about the notable releases and recordings of 2017 from the host of IPR’s The Folk Tree Karen Impola, as well as classical music host Barney Sherman.
Karen Impola’s top folk music picks for 2017
1. Catfish Keith – “Shake Sugaree” – Mississippi River Blues
2. Al Murphy – “Steamboat Quickstep” – Hogs in the Cornfield
Has classical music become a worldwide music culture in which non-Europeans are full, equal members and no nationality has special privileges? And does Japan scramble cultural storylines and stereotypes more than most countries? I make both cases in contemplating a giant of Bach interpretation, the keyboardist / conductor Masaaki Suzuki.
