Filling in on Midday Music this week it's Christa Grix!
We'll hear a new recording by Alice Sara Ott of nocturnes by John Field. We're airing his nocturne "Noontide" right before twelve noon. Listen to hear the clock strike twelve in the composition.

Then in the noon hour after "Bach's Lunch" we'll hear Rachmaninoff's Symphony No.3, a composition that received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike, but he considered it one of his finest works.

Happy Monday.
