Sibelius' op. 56 String Quartet premiered in 1910. A review in the "Helsingin Sanomat" noted: "The composition attracted a great deal of attention...." You can give it your attention tonight at 7:00!

The Schumann "Cello Concerto" was composed in 1850. The premiere, sad to say, was made four years after Schumann's death. Mendelssohn's 5th Symphony pre-dates the Schumann "Cello Concerto" by 20 years.

The Deutsche Welle Festival Concerts series returns to the "Evening Cncert" with performances recorded in the 2014 Festival season.

Which came first, Schumann's work or Brahms" work?

If you, like me, aren't as familiar with the Bruckner symphonies as you could be, it is suggested that we start with the 7th Symphony, the symphony most famous in the composer's lifetime, tonight at 7:00 on the Evening Concert.
