Nighttime. For some, it's a time for rest and reflection. For others, the party is just getting started.
From the All-Night Vigil of Rachmaninoff to Night Creature of Duke Ellington and the Nocturnes of Chopin, some music has that extra magic when written for after hours. Tune in for Terrance's late-night illuminations.
Also, you can check out Terrance's blog At Night to comment.

Terrance played the Rachmaninov Vespers around 10pm on sat 11/21. I am curious as to which recording it was, but I don't see it on any of your play lists.
Very wonderful.
