“Grief isn’t perfectly in tune; it has rough edges,” says the cellist and composer Tamar Sagiv. We hear Sagiv’s Shades of Mourning on the latest episode of Extra Eclectic, honoring sadness, grief, and ultimately, healing. “Longing” from Dobrinka Tabakova’s Concerto for Cello and Strings serves as the emotional centerpiece of the two hours, which also includes Raminta Serksnyte’s De Profundis, Alissa Firsova’s Loss, and more. Listen now with host Steve Seel!
