It’s nice when a mainstream star uses her fame to promote interesting programming. Renée Fleming has herself and a really stellar bunch of accomplices give us one of André Previn and Tom Stoppard’s melodramas, something by Kevin Puts (whom we’ll be hearing a lot of this season), some classic Philip Glass, some supernal Fauré mélodies (I mean really), some Grieg lieder (you’ll wonder why people don’t sing Grieg’s songs like all the time), and the Barber String Quartet, whose slow movement you’re probably familiar with (in another guise). Really, a marvelous Sunday afternoon.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Fun, delicious Cuban at Guantanamera.
