Johannes Brahms

  • 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 ensembleĀ asĀ 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). […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #SchumannsCircle Week 4

    Jun 29th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #SchumannsCircle, Franz Liszt, Giovanni di Palestrina, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Robert Schumann, Romantic period, Twitter

    Robert Schumann was born on June 8, 1810. Some of us contributing to the #ClassicsaDay feed decided to celebrate that birthday. For the month of June, we encouraged folks to post works by Schumann and his circle. Schumann worked with several major composers of the day. He also reviewed up-and-coming composers in his magazine. Here […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #Opus1 Annotated List Week 1

    Jan 5th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #Opus1, Alan Hovhaness, George Frideric Handel, Johannes Brahms, Lowell Liebermann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Twitter

    I’m a regular contributor to the #ClassicsaDay Twitter feed. For January 2018, I decided to mark the first month of the new year with firsts. Each post features the first published work of a different composer. Emphasis on the word “published,” In some cases, the Opus 1 is the first mature work of the composer. […]

  • Barbara Westphal – Convergences

    Jun 24th, 2015 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andrea Clearfield, Barbara Westphal, Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Christian Ruvolo, Contemporary classical, Johannes Brahms, Romantic period

    Barbara Westphal’s latest release is an interesting blend of old and new, original music with arrangements. Johannes Brahms didn’t write any solo music for the viola, but that hasn’t stopped violists from making arrangements of some of his music for their instrument. In this case, Westphal plays arrangements of Brahms’ Sonata in E minor, Op. […]

  • Stuyvesant Quartet

    Stuyvesant Quartet — Audio Treasures

    Oct 29th, 2013 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Alfred Gallororo, Bridge Records, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Johannes Brahms, Stuyvesant Quartet, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    The Stuyvesant Quartet was a group of talented musicians who left a remarkable legacy. Founded by by the Shulman brothers, Sylvan (violin) and Alan (cello) in 1938, the quartet consisted of preeminent musicians from broadcast network symphony orchestras. In 1950 they formed their own label — Philharmonia — with audio legend Norman Pickering as their […]
