3. The Thirst Calendar
from Under the Sheets Hosted by Lauren Pierce
AliceAnn tells the adorable and awkward story of how Rachmaninov attempted to woo his composer crush, Igor Stravinsky, into friendship….which instead sort of creeped Igor out. Lauren discusses Austrian composer, music theorist, and country bumpkin, Anton Bruckner, and some of his weird obsessions.
