March 18-19 2017: The lush sound of strings are the highlight of this week’s Intermountain Classics offerings, starting with a work by Johann Sebastian Bach, the last of his Brandenburg concerti, and contrasting it with the beautiful 20th century Piano Trio No. 2 by Russian composer Dimitri Shostakovich.
