This week on Extra Eclectic, Steve Seel brings us two hours of music for starry night skies to complement the show's nighttime setting. Featured works include John Luther Adams' Sky with Endless Stars, Tonu Korvits' The Night Is Darkening, Urmas Sisask's The Milky Way and Jane Antonia Cornish's Sky, and a performance by cellist Maya Beiser of her eerie arrangement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
