The Evening Concert

Concerts this week from New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee, New York again, and Santa Fe.

Jeremy Denk is the pianist in the Beethoven work; the Pacifica and Johannes String Quartets play the Mendelssohn.

He plays the Rachmaninoff work with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra...

Mr. Ax performs with the Cleveland Orchestra, recorded at Blossom Music Fest.

Esa-Pekka Salonen guest conducts.

The "9th Symphony" is Mahler's last completed work.

You'll hear music by Mahler, Ravel, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and others: a Symphony No. 9, a suite for ballet, a piano concerto, a symphony, an octet, and more.

You'll hear a "Sonata for Two Clarients", a "Concerto" that's really a sextet, two lieder and a string quartet.

The headline should more accurately be put as “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” by Debussy, and “The Planets” by Holst

The Piano Concerto Number 23 was completed, per Mozart's own catalogue on March 2, 1786, while the 24th Concerto was written 24 March 1786, three weeks after the completion of the Piano Concerto in A major. The works date from the period of his opera "The Marriage of Figaro"
