The Evening Concert

the "more" includes Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp, chamber music by Beethoven, and other works.

The "Harp" quartet gets it's "title" [assigned by the publisher] from a description of the pizzicato portions of the first movement which sound reminiscent of a harp.

The work dates from the middle of the first decade of the 20th century and includes a mezzo-soprano soloist plus two choirs: a women's choir and a boys choir.

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.
