This week, John Toal charts a course through the elements, from the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean to the haunting, icy landscapes of the Arctic circle.

This week, John Toal charts a course through the elements, from the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean to the haunting, icy landscapes of the Arctic circle. We celebrate pioneers of the orchestral world—including the sparkling wit of Louise Farrenc's Third Symphony and Cécile Chaminade’s lyrical Flute Concerto—alongside timeless pillars of the repertoire from Mozart, Debussy, and Ravel.

This week's Triple Tracker is a trio of Musical Postcards from France, Italy and Spain.
