Public Radio East, presenting the MTT Files, Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT), an extremely gifted young pianist, he was working with the likes of Stravinsky, Stockhausen and Copland by the time he was a teenager, and by his early 20's when he was appointed Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony.  Michael is now Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony, Founder and Artistic Director of the New World Symphony and Principal Guest Conductor of the London Symphony. In this series, Michael will metaphorically pull out some of his "files" files full of ideas about music and art, and reminiscences of the legendary artists he's known throughout his career.  Catch MTT Files Saturdays at 1:00pm on 89.3 and 88.5 Swanquarter, Classical Music for eastern North Carolina. ****** "Adagio," Public Radio East's long running evening classical music program has a new feature on Tuesday evenings called "The Complete Work."  Tuesdays at 8:00pm, PRE music director Sefton Wiggs will feature a work that seldom receives an airing in its entirety. Our complete work for July 8 is the Symphony No. 4 in D Minor, Op. 95, "The Dramatic" Symphony by Russian composer Anton Rubinstein.  A composer and teacher Rubinstein lived from 1829 to 1894.  This symphony of a little more than an hour in length lives up to the title "Dramatic" in wonderful fashion.  Listen for this truly underplayed example of late Romanticism with Czecho-Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Robert Stankovsky.
