On this episode of Concerts Plus, host Robert Sherman and guests explore the theme of love in a program of live music and conversation. Martin Bookspan hosts the intermission feature.

This program was broadcast live before a studio audience in the WQXR Concert Theater.

Note: A portion of the Morart trio is missing from this recording, possibly due to a side change of the original recording medium. This recording contains an additional thirty-five minutes of performances and conversation which were never broadcast.


From host Robert Sherman's notes:

It is never too late for love, they say, wherefore tonight's slightly belated welcome to the good Saint Valentine. Besides, who's counting, when we have such fabulous artists weaving so warmly romatic a musical spell for us. Enjoy!
