Have you ever pondered the amount of time the previous 92 Haydn symphonies took to write, so, jest here, by comparison, what's another one (or more)?

Have you ever pondered the amount of time the previous 92 Haydn symphonies took to write, so, jest here, by comparison, what's another one (or more)?
Two powerful works composed 130 years apart share tonight's Evening Concert.
Symphonies this week as well: Shostakovich 5th, Beethoven 7th, Tchaikovsky 4th...join us for the "Evening Concert"
It's chamber music by Beethoven, early, late, and middle (career, that is).
What sounds good to us as a concerto for these two instruments (violin and oboe), likely sounds as good as the concerto for its original instruments, two harpsichords. Hear the "Violin and Oboe" version tonight.
It's a sonata for two pianos; it's a symphony in four movements with piano obbligato; it's a piano concerto; it's all three! Tune in tonight at 7:00 for Brahms' 1st Piano Concerto.
Tonight's program "A Tribute to Arnold Jacobs" features current CSO Principal Tubist playing Vaughan Williams' "Tuba Concerto". Arnold Jacobs was Principal Tubist with the CSO from 1944 to 1988. The program celebrates Jacobs' 100th birthdate [which recently passed on June 11, 2015].
It's over 400 years old and still holds an appeal unmatched by works of a similar nature. Monteverdi's "Vespers of 1610" is to this day a work on the grandest of scales.
This week's "Evening Concert starts with Monteverdi's "Vespers" on "Carnegie Hall Live", followed by the CSO on Tuesday, and more each week night at 7:00.
1781. Mozart turned 25 January of that year. It's also the same year of the composition of his one-and-only Oboe Quartet in F Major, which you can hear tonight on the "Evening Concert".
