This year, it's particularly important to pack the champagne glasses. The mother of all classical-paloozas is turning 75.

  4. Feedback: What's on your bedside table?

    "The Pale King" by David Foster Wallace. It's not always an easy read, but it's funny. It's fascinating to think about how hard it must've been to write and sad to know it's his last.
