Konrad Czynski’s 11th CD as narrator now available
Konrad Czynski’s 11th CD as narrator in the STORIES IN MUSIC series (Maestro Classics) was made available in November 2015 – “Merry Pranks of Master Till.” The German folktale was adapted for English narration by Czynski’s late friend, the composer and organist/pianist Stephen Simon, conductor of the series with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The original tone-poem, “Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche,” was composed by Richard Strauss (d. 1949). The CD includes, as also the 10 previous CDs, an educational booklet; the CD itself includes, among other tracks, an “About the Composer” spoken presentation by Bonnie Simon.
