    For April, 2021, the Classics a Day Team celebrates a legend — Leopold Stokowski. He was born in April (1882), and became a cultural icon. His recording legacy spans over 60 years. And whether he was conducting a premier orchestra or a group of studio musicians, the sound was unmistakable. To share all of Stokowski’s […]

  • Classical Interviews – Sophia Park

    Graduating music major and violinist, Sophia Park, spoke with WTJU about her upcoming Distinguished Major Recital featuring: Violin Sonata No. 32 in B flat major, K. 454 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Rhapsody No. 1, Sz. 86 by Béla Bartók Violin Sonata No. 2 in A major, Op. 100 by Johannes Brahms Violin Sonata in D […]

  • Lucie Bartholomäi crushes it with female

    The sale sheet for this release list three unique selling points: 1) Debut CD 2) Very young artist 3) Repertoire exclusively by female composers Only the last point captured my interest. And when I researched the release, I discovered they omitted a compelling fourth: the entire project was crowdfunded. Personally, I think this debut release […]

  • Early Music by Walter Braunfels Promising

    Apr 6th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Capriccio, CD Review, Classical music, Gregor Buhl, Orchestral music, ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, Walter Braunfels

    For their ninth release of music by Walter Braunfels, Capriccio concentrates on some of his earlier music. Braunfels had the misfortune to fall between two stools. Before WWII, he was considered too modern (by the Nazis), and after the war, too conservative by everyone else. Listening to a century after the fact, I think his […]

  • Anton Schweitzer sacred music resurrected

    Tags: Anton Schweitzer, Capriccio, CD Review, choral music, Gernot Süssmuth, Henriette Godde, Mirella Hagen, Stephan Scherpe, Thüringer Bach Collegium, Tobias Berndt

    So who was Anton Schweitzer? Born in 1735, he was a child prodigy who enjoyed the patronage of the Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The duke paid for his education and made him Kapellmeister of his court orchestra. When the orchestra was disbanded, Schweitzer hit the road with a theatrical troupe. Most of his surviving compositions are […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth Week 5

    Apr 2nd, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #WomensHistoryMonth, Abbie Betinis, Judith Shatin, Mon Schjelderup, Twitter

    The #ClassicsaDay team often uses Women’s History Month as their theme for March. And for good reason. Classical audiences might be aware that there are contemporary female composers. But perhaps not so aware (with the exception of Hildegard von Bingen), of how many women composed music throughout the centuries. For March 2021, I decided to […]

  • Classical Interviews – Izzy Tucker

    Apr 1st, 2021 | By WTJU

You can watch the recital live on the […]
