Islands of Sanity (4)

[thoreau]

KDFC premiered it's new album "Islands of Sanity #4" today. It is a 15 track musical meditation. For those of you who are classically inclined - it makes a great gift. It benefits "Music in Schools Today" (linky).

Enjoy an all-star escape, as artists including Joshua Bell, Hilary Hahn, Lang Lang, Andre Previn and Yundi Li join a variety of major orchestras to perform Mozart, Gershwin, Debussy, Puccini, Bach and more. Our 8th annual charity CD, a limited production and likely sell-out, is a great gift for the holidays (and good for your peace of mind during the season).
