The Evening Concert

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have due to this pre-emption.

Mahler, after Beethoven, included the human voice as an 'instrument' of the orchestra in many of his symphonies, including the Finale of the 4th Symphony.

Synchronously so, there are two of Mahler's symphonies on this week's "Evening Concert"; the 3rd and the 4th. I didn't plan it that way!

There appears to be a monopoly on pianists on tonight's "Evening Concert": all but one work on the programs involve the piano.

Tonight's "Evening Concert" ("The New York Philharmonic this Week") is pre-empted so that we can bring you Election 2016 coverage.

Andsnes recorded the Schumann "Piano Concerto" for a 2003 release on the EMI (now avail available through Warner classics) with the Berlin Philharmonic.

Tonight's "Evening Concert" has two works that feature the famous Chicago Symphony Chorus, Berlioz's "Fantasy on 'The Tempset' by Shakespeare from "Lelio" and Schoenberg's "Kol Nidre".

Rachmaninoff wrote the 2nd Symphony after successfully navigating severe depression brought on by the harsh criticism of his First Symphony by Glazunov; Rach conducted the premiere in 1908.

Another week of splendid "Evening Concert" recorded-live-in-concert programs from Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, New York and more.
