    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. […]

    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 […]
