    What’s the connection between classical music and poetry? To celebrate Poetry Month, the Classics a Day team encouraged folks to find out. For the month of April, the challenge is to post poetry used in classical music or works inspired by poetry.   Here are my posts for the third week of #PoetryMonth 4/18/22 Igor […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #Classical1922 Week 1

    Jan 7th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #Classical1922, #ClassicsaDay, Amy Beach, Classical music, George Antheil, Igor Stravinsky, Julian Carrillo, Kurt Atterberg, Twitter

    For January, 2022 the Classics a Day Team decided to go back a century. The challenge this month is to post classical works associated with the year 1922. It can be a composition that was completed,  published, or premiered that year. It can even be a work recorded for the first time in 1922. It […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #OctoberOctet Week 2

    Oct 22nd, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #OctoberOctet, Carl Reinecke, Felix Weingartner, Ignaz Joseph Pleyel, Igor Stravinsky, Joachim Raff, Twitter

    The Classics a Day team decided October was the month to feature octets. Granted, it is the tenth month of the year, but the word “detects” isn’t as alliterative. The mix of instruments that make up an octet varies. Some composers wrote for double string quartet, some for wind instruments, and some for a blend […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #Classical1921 Week 2

    Jan 15th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #Classical1921, #ClassicsaDay, Arnold Schoenberg, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Frederick Delius, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Igor Stravinsky, Twitter

    What better way to celebrate a new year than with a look back? In this case, the Classics a Day team decided to go back 100 years. For January 2021 the challenge is to post works that were completed in or recordings released in 1921. It turns out there was quite a lot going on […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalEleven Week 4

    Nov 29th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Arnold Schoenberg, David Conte, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Igor Stravinsky, Louis Spohr

    Numbers have meaning. But meaning can depend on context. The Classics a Day team made “eleven” the theme for November, the eleventh month. The challenge is to post performances of classical music that involve the number. I chose a mix. Some pieces involve eleven players. Some are the eleventh type of piece by a composer. […]

  • Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall

    Feb 14th, 2018 | By Tim Snider
    Tags: Benjamin Britten, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Concert Review, Ernest Chausson, Igor Stravinsky, Jennifer Higdon, Riccardo Muti

    The great Italian conductor Riccardo Muti has been music director of the legendary Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 2010. During a long and distinguished career he has conducted, and in some cases led, most of the world’s great orchestras and opera companies.   Under Muti’s leadership, the CSO has, if anything, enhanced its reputation as one […]

  • Gil Shaham Violin Concerto Barber Berg Stravinsky Britten Hartmann Canary Classics

    Gil Shaham’s Snapshot of a Decade

    Jul 7th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: 2oth Century Classical Music, Alban Berg, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Benjamin Britten, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Canary Classics, CD Review, Concerto, David Robinson, Gil Shaham, Igor Stravinsky, Juanjo Mena, Karl Hartmann, New York Philharmonic, Samuel Barber, Sejong Soloists, Staatskapelle Dresden

    There’s an advantage to running your own record label — it’s easier to do the projects that you really believe in. In this case, Gil Shaham is the owner/operator of Canary Classics, and the project is a survey of violin concertos of the 1930’s. Just the lineup of composers for this first volume show how […]

  • Tugan Sokhiev marks Stravinsky Anniversary

    Jun 7th, 2013 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Classical music, Igor Stravinsky, Naive, orchestral, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Tugan Sokhiev

    It’s a remarkable release for a remarkable occasion. May, 2013 is the centennial of the premier of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” in Paris. While the work no longer incites riots, it has become a repertoire standard, and one that can sound fresh and exotic even today. Naive marks the event with this deluxe release. The […]
