The Evening Concert

Sometimes summertime and Sousa (and American [classical] music) are simply satisfying.

Mozart and Bruckner shared a home country: Austria... is there an audio lineage between the two? Tune in tonight at 7:00 to find out.

One of tonight's works is popularly known as "The Clock"  because of the "ticking" rhythm throughout the second movement.

From an audio perspective there is not a large difference between cantata and a Mass: vocal soloists, chorus, orchestra: beautiful music to be sure.

You'll hear 2 of Bach's "Brandenburg" Concertos in 'chamber-sized' (one player per 'part') on tonight's "Evening Concert".

What does a loping donkey out in the American West sound like? Ferde Grofe found it in his "Grand Canyon Suite".

What's so "Great" about Schubert's "Great" C Major Symphony on tonight's "Evening Concert"?

Ballet music by Russian compsores on tonight's Evening Concert: 1892's "Nutcracker" and the 1911 version of "Petrushka".

Schubert and Bruckner are linked by their association with Vienna, and symphonic writing. Schubert's 4th Symphony dates from 1819, and, from where we sit today, Bruckner's 6th Symphony came a mere 60 years (1879) later.
