Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This is not a regular “Q&A.” As before, at Christmas, Jay is cheating a bit: doing a music program under the guise of “Q&A.” The question is, “Do you want to play some music related to love, in honor of Valentine’s Day?” And the answer is, “Sure, now that you ask.”
There are nine tracks here, from Handel to Berlioz to Brahms to Prokofiev and more. The program ends with what Jay calls, in a flight of hyperbole, “the greatest love song ever written.” It is a justifiable flight, however.
So, happy Valentine’s Day, musically.

No fair making me cry so early in the morning, Jay. The Death of Juliet was very powerful piece. If you know the story you don’t need to see it to know exactly what is happening. Thank you for sharing your love of music with the music of love.
I really enjoy these specials. It take me back to when I was kid, helping my dad around the house, while he played opera/classical on the radio.
Now I am old enough to appreciate it.
Ever thought of making it into a monthly podcast. Music with Jay?
What about Nino Rota’s Romeo and Juliet?
