  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSpring Week 3

    Apr 19th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalSpring, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, Darius Milhaud, Egon Wellesz, Giuseppe Verdi, Jean Sibelius, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    For January 2019 the #ClassicsaDay team made #ClassicalWinter then theme. It seemed only right to continue the trend and celebrate Spring. So for April 2019, everyone is encouraged to share classical works inspired by the season. Some famous pieces may readily come to mind, such as the “Spring” movement from Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” or Copland’s “Appalachian […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #FamousLastWorks Week 5

    Nov 2nd, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #FamousLastWorks, Classical music, Frederick Chopin, Frederick Delius, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Hugo Wolf, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Twitter

    For the month of October, the #ClassicsaDay team (of which I’m a part), decided to go with a Halloween theme. The idea is to share works marked in some way with the composer’s demise. It can be the last piece a composer completed before death, or one left incomplete at death. For my part, I […]

    Kaufmann Sings Verdi

    Jan 26th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Giuseppe Verdi, Jonas Kaufmann, Opera, Orchestra dell'Opera di Parma, Pier Giorgio Morandi, Romantic period, Sony Classics

    In this Verdi Bicentennial year, we are the beneficiaries of an abundance of recorded riches. Among them is Jonas Kaufmann’s Verdi recital disc. He sings 12 (13 on the “deluxe edition” disc) of the Maestro’s tenor arias, both familiar (“La donna e mobile” from Rigoletto) and less familiar (“Destatevi, o pietre. . . Giuri ognun […]

  • Verdi’s Shakespeare

    Apr 2nd, 2012 | By Tim Snider
    Tags: book review, Gary Willis, Giuseppe Verdi, William Shakespeare

    Historian Garry Wills’ new book, Verdi’s Shakespeare, is a fascinating study of the Italian maestro’s lifelong love of the works of the great English playwright. Even though Verdi neither spoke nor read English (although his wife, the singer Giuseppina Strepponi knew English), he read the plays and poetry in Italian translation for pleasure throughout his […]
