Alisa Weilerstein plays Haydn’s “Cello Concerto No.1 ” with the San Francisco Symphony
Two hundred years. That is how long the score for the Haydn Cello Concerto #1 was 'lost'. The score was discovered in the Prague National Museum in 1961, the work having been written (started for certain) in 1761.
Britten’s “Violin Concerto”, Strauss’ “Don Quixote” and more on this week’s “Evening Concert”
From Britten's "Violin Concerto" on "Carnegie Hall Live" to Mozart's "Kegelstatt Trio" on the Spoleto Chamber Music Festival on this week's Evening Concert".
Simone Lamsma plays Sibelius’ “Violin Concerto” with the San Francisco Symphony
As a young man, Sibelius wanted to be a violinist....that didn't work out, so he became a composer who later got around to writing a concerto for the instrument.
Helene Grimaud plays Brahms’ ‘1st Piano Concerto’ with the San Francisco Symphony
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.
