Classic & Classical | David Benjamin | COVE Podcast 10

Join us on a musical journey between the lines of 'classic' and 'classical'. We start off by distinguishing the two similar yet distinct terms, with a delightful detour down the lanes of classic rock - culminating in a performance of The Doors' iconic 'Riders on the Storm'.
Adding the classical element to our music exploration, we welcome David Benjamin, host of "The Pun-ano Man", the biweekly show on the Vaudacity Network. His lifelong journey with classical music began at the age of ten. David graciously shares his insights on how understanding the intricacies of music can elevate the listener's experience - insights that he applies in his unique show, where he wittily interlaces classical piano with pun-laden humor.
As we traverse further into the realm of classical music, we take a moment to appreciate the unfinished symphonies and original compositions of Franz Schubert. David Benjamin leaves us spellbound with his performance of Schubert's "Opus 94 - Moment Musicaux, Number Two" and his original composition "Prelude Number 9 in C Minor". Producer Craig Jackman delivers a poignant recitation of Matt Starking's 'Nothing Can Dim the Light Which Shines From Within', and David concludes the episode with a live improvisation in A flat major. If music be the food of love, then this episode promises to leave your heart, mind, and soul satisfied.
