Gustav Mahler

  • #ClassicsaDay #SymYesNo Week 3

    Sep 24th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #SymYesNo, Classical music, Gustav Mahler, Leos Janacek, Maurice Ravel, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Twitter, Vincent Persichetti

    For the month of September, the Classics a Day team chose a controversial theme. There is a small subset of symphonic works within the classical repertoire that appear misnamed. Most composers choose their titles carefully. But when the title runs counter to expectations, disagreements arise. What does the title “symphony” mean? Can a composition be […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalTimeMachine Week 3

    Oct 23rd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalTimeMachine, #ClassicsaDay, Edward Elgar, George Gerswhin, Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Twitter

    For the month of October, the Classics a Day team turned nostalgic. Classical musicians have been making recordings since the 1890s. So we all have over 130 years of documented performance practices. And we can judge first-hand the artistry of legendary performers. The challenge is to post classical recordings made before 1949 (pre-LP era). Here […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #FamousLastWorks Week 2

    Oct 12th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #FamousLastWorks, Alban Berg, Bela Bartok, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Gustav Mahler, Johannes Brahms, 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 […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #Bernsteinat100 Week 1

    Aug 3rd, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #Bernsteinat100, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Gustav Mahler, Leonard Bernstein, Twitter

    August 2018 is the centennial of Leonard Bernstein’s birth. Many classical radio stations, performance groups, and writers marked the occasion. And so did #ClassicsaDay. Bernstein was known as a composer, conductor, performer and an educator. Since #ClassicsaDay is primarily a music feed, I concentrated on the first two of those roles (and occasionally the third). […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #PoetryMonth – Week 2

    Apr 13th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #PoetryMonth, Aaron Copland, Claudio Monteverdi, Gustav Mahler, John Adams, Pierre Boulez, Twitter

    What’s the connection between classical music and classic poetry? That was theme some of us decided to explore with #ClassicsaDay. For April 2018 we posted examples of settings of poetry in classical music, works inspired by poetry, and more. Here’s an annotated list of the works I posted for the first week of #PoetryMonth. Gustav […]

    Honeck and the Mahler Ninth

    Jul 3rd, 2014 | By Tim Snider
    Tags: Gustav Mahler, Manfred Honeck, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

    Performing and recording the cycle of the Mahler’s nine symphonies (plus the unfinished 10th) is irresistible to conductors of major orchestras who can persuade a record label to accept the project.  No exception is Manfred Honeck, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s Austrian music director. The Pittsburgh has a long and distinguished record of exceptional principal conductors, […]
