The Evening Concert

It's the first of the Presidential Debates between the Democratic and repuboican nominees. It could get 'very interesting'!

There's no "debating" that the "Evening Concert" is a great series of recorded-live-in-concert broadcasts.

Chamber music by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are in our first hour tonight (7:00 pm CT) and an all-baroque music hour to follow that.

The"Emperor" Concerto gets its epithet from Johann Baptist Cramer, English publisher of the concerto.

The 1st Piano Concerto dates from the late 1790s and is music from the end of Beethoven's "Early Period" of compositions. The 3rd Symphony comes from the first decade of the 1800s and is a work that marks the beginning of his Middle Period.

The Symphony No. 1 was premiered under Bruckner in 1868. It was dedicated to the University of Vienna, after Bruckner was granted an honorary doctorate in 1891.*

Chinese tenor Han Peng sings arias by Puccini and Verdi, pianist Jian Li plays music by Chopin.

Carl Jung coined the term (synchronicity)....through no deliberate attempt to do so, synchronously so, three of our recorded-live-in-concert programs this week feature music by the Maestro, Ludwig van (Beethoven).

Also on the program, Pachelbel's "Canon" and Faure's "Elegie"...chamber works

Yefm Bronfman plays two more Beethoven Piano Concertos with the NYP tonight.
