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.

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

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.
