Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Copland, and others on this week’s “Evening Concert”
Salzburg Festival starts our week, music of Schubert, followed on Tuesday by the CSO: Ingo Metzmacher conducts.
All-Tchaikovsky from the New York Philharmonic: Swan Lake, 1812 Overture, et.al.
Somehow, as a youth I thought that the 1812 Overture was written and first performed in the year 1812! It's a great and fun work still 200-plus years later... and 150-plus years since Tchaikovsky wrote it.
Chamber Music featured on “The Evening Concert”, start of “Spoleto Chamber Music Festival”
When you tune in to hear the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's broadcasts, you hear their theme music. That theme music will be played in its entirety on tonight's program!
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.
