The Evening Concert

Mozart is your main-menu-music item on tonight's all chamber music programs (as always on SUnday evenings on the "Evening Concert".

Would it be surprising to know that Holst was reading a book about astrology when he started composing "The Planets"?

J S Bach: Orchestral Suite #4 (the fmaous one) and his son C P E bach's famous cello concerto: tonight.

She reads him a different story each night until he falls asleep, thus avoiding certain death....that 'she' is Scheherazade.

Starting with the sound of "fresh cut flowers", then to the sublime Ravel Quartet, closing with Mozart. Enough said.

This week's Evening Concerts feature the first of a series from Music Mountain, Scheherazade, a Bach Orchestral Suite and more.

Dohnanyi, Bartok = Hungarian. They had a flair, you know, for composition!

A "Festive" {Overture} Piano Concerto on a Night (on a Bald Mountain?)

One of the more difficult 'things' to judge in music is the amount of 'nationalist" elements there are in a piece. Clearly Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich are Russian composers who share a "Russian sense" yet they are so different in style, as well.

If music could be heard"in color" then the works on tonight's program would be 'in living color'...
