The Evening Concert

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"

The at-times-referred-to-as the-greatest-orchestra-in-the-world is led by their Music Director Maestro Riccardo Muti.

"I have never written anything like it (...) Nor, perhaps, have I ever worked under such a sense of inner compulsion; it was like a sudden vision - all at once the whole thing stood before my eyes and all I had to do was write it down, as though it had been dictated to me." - Mahler on his 8th Symphony*

That would be, in order, an "8th Symphony", two symphonies (#3 & 4) and two more piano concertos featuring Mitsuko Uchida.
