  • Ukrainian classical music on WTJU and Charlottesville Classical

    On March 9, WTJU host Ralph Graves programmed exclusively Ukrainian music for Classical Prelude and Classical Sunrise. Classical music in Ukraine dates back to the era of Haydn and Mozart. And this programming by no means represents every classical Ukrainian composer of the past 300 years. Listen here: Ukraine’s history as a country is complex. At times, […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #OctoberOctet Week 3

    Oct 27th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #OctoberOctet, Howard Ferguson, Jean Francaix, Johan Svendsen, Josef Myslivececk, Reinhold Gliere, 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 […]

I decided to go a little farther with my #SovietaDay posts and concentrate on Soviet prize winners.  Here are the posts I shared for week 3. Gara Garayev (1918-1982) Leyli and Majnun, symphonic […]

    Gliere Symphony No. 3 – An epic journey

    Apr 7th, 2014 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, CD Review, JoAnn Falletta, Naxos, Reinhold Gliere, Romantic period, Symphony

    Gliere’s sprawling symphony takes the listener on an epic sonic odyssey. From the somber opening bars that foreshadow the arrival of the heroic Il’ya Muromets, to the closing chords where Muromets and his brave Bogatyrs knights are defeated and turned to stone, Giere weaves a tightly-constructed narrative that’s both coherent and immersive. The first recording of […]
