Johannes Brahms

  • Violin Concertos by Johannes Brahms; Amanda Maier; Julius Rontgen

    Jun 14th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Amanda Maier, CD Review, Cecilia Zilliacus, Classical music, Concerto, db Productions, Johannes Brahms, Julius Rontgen, Kristiina Poska, Malmö Symphony Orchestra, Romantic period, Vasteras Sinfonietta

    This release brings together three violin concertos by three close friends — Johannes Brahms, Julius Rontgen, and his wife, Amanda Maier. Rontgen and Maier were both talented violinists. The couple performed together, and even composed together. Brahms would visit the Rontgen home when in town. And Brahms and Rontgen gave public concerts together in Amsterdam. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #November11 Week 3

    Nov 19th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #November11, Amy Beach, Classical music, Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, Ferdinand Ries, Johannes Brahms, Józef Elsner, Twitter

    November is the eleventh month. And so the Classics a Day team opted to make eleven the month’s then. The challenge is to post works that are numbered 11 in some fashion, either an opus number, a series number, or even a suite number. It turns out that there’s a lot of great music associated […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #SchumannsCircle Week 3

    Jun 25th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #SchumannsCircle, Clara Wieck Schumann, Classical music, Johannes Brahms, Norbert Burgmüller, Robert Schumann, Twitter, William Sterndale Bennet

    The Classics a Day team honors Robert Schumann’s birthday (June 8, 1810). The theme for June is Schumann and his circle. During the month, you’re encouraged to share works written by Schumann, his friends, his colleagues, his rivals — and of course, his wife. Here are my #ClassicsaDay selections for the third week of #SchumannsCircle. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #Stokowski Week 1

    Apr 9th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #Stokowski, Alan Hovhaness, Concerto, Georges Bizet, Johannes Brahms, Leopold Stokowski, Ludwig van Beethoven, Paul Creston, Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky, Twitter

    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 […]

  • Charlottesville Symphony dazzles with contemporary work

    Sep 30th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Albert Kim, Bemjamin Rous, CD Review, charlottesville symphony, contemporary classical music, Johannes Brahms, Kareem Roustrom, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    The Charlottesville Symphony that opened its 2019-20 season was not the same ensemble as last year’s. About a third of the musicians were new to the orchestra, including two new principal players. Although new, the symphony seemed to retain the weaknesses and strengths of its former self. The first work of the evening, Mozart’s Symphony No. 32 […]

  • Tasmin Little Plays a Favorite

    May 29th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chamber music, Chandos, Classical music, Johannes Brahms, Piers Lane, Romantic period, Tasmin Little

    In a Violin Channel interview, Tasmin Little named Brahms as her favorite composer. I think that affection is evident in this release. There’s an easy familiarity in these performances I find quite appealing. The Violin Sonata No. 1 was developed from two earlier songs by Brahms. The lyrical nature of the material is at the […]

  • #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 5

    Aug 31st, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #Bernsteinat100, #ClassicsaDay, Bela Bartok, Johannes Brahms, Leonard Bernstein

    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). […]
