Summary: "Curtain Raisers" I make the distraction between concert overtures – short pieces of music that launch orchestral concerts.- and overtures to stage works – mainly operas – that are often played in concert. My aim was to try and showcase works that are intended for the concert stage, and not to accompany a stage performance. A wide range of selections are proposed, including a few Slavic/Russian favourites. More info in our archive page @ https://archive.org/details/pcast226
