The Evening Concert

Tonight's concert might be deemed to be about the depiction of "Time" in music: the life and death of an artist, a philosopher, and a new notion of it (time).

Music of Richard Strauss, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and others on this week's "Evening Concert" series.

Piano + string quartet is the expected instrumentation for the piano quintet. Vaughan Williams used one of each: violin, viola, cello, double bass. here the sonic difference in that chamber ensemble tonight.

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".
