2018 Playlist and Schedule

2018 Playlist and Schedule
There were several factors affecting the selection of this playlist.

1) The listing highlighted some possible contenders for "Recording of the Year."

2) There was a mixture of audio and video presentations.

3) The conductor may be a contender for a Bruckner medal.

4) We paid respects to several conductors that we lost in the past year.
