Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalTimeMachine Week 4

    For the month of October, the Classics a Day team turned nostalgic. Classical musicians have been making recordings since the 1890s. So we all have over 130 years of documented performance practices. And we can judge first-hand the artistry of legendary performers. The challenge is to post classical recordings made before 1949 (pre-LP era). Here […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalBubble Week 2

    Last month, the Classics a Day team came up with a theme to reflect the reality of social distancing. The challenge was to share solo works for unusual instruments — the kind of instruments best played in social isolation.  For June, the team is again going with the times. Social bubbles are small groups of […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalDistancing Week 3

    May 22nd, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalDistancing, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, Garrett Hecker, John Cage, Stephen W. Beatty, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Normally the Classics a Day theme for May involved May Day (#SovietaDay). Having a theme centered around social distancing/self-quarantine seemed more appropriate. The challenge for May is post works for unusual solo instruments or works about solitude. Here are my selections for the third week of #ClassicalDistancing 05/18/20 Anon. 14th C. – Medieval dance The […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalQuartet Week 3

    April is the fourth month of the year. And so the Classics a Day team decided to make classical quartets this month’s theme. One could easily fill up a month of postings with nothing but great string quartets. But I decided to explore further. A piano trio is made up of four musicians. So is […]

  • Anne-Marie McDermott performs Mozart with exuberance and precision

    Mar 16th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andress Delfs, Anne-Marie McDermott, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Gilbert Varga, Kenneth Montgomery, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Volume two of Anne-Marie McDermott’s Mozart series builds on the success of volume one. McDermott’s playing is as beautiful as ever. There’s apparent chemistry between her and the Odense Symphony Orchestra. Though each of the three concertos on this release has a different conductor, there’s a remarkable consistency in the interpretations. Piano Concerto No. 15 […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalDoubleDigits Week 3

    Jan 17th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalDoubleDigits, #ClassicsaDay, Domenico Scarlatti, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    The Classics a Day team noted that the new year is comprised of two twenties — double digits. So the theme for January 2020 is to post other examples of double digits found in classical music. Prolific composers are a good place to start. But I found a few surprises among composers with very small […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalChristmas Weeks 4 and 5

    Dec 27th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalChristmas, #ClassicsaDay, Andreas Hammerschmidt, Bob Chilcott, Claude Debussy, Johann Neinrich Schmelzer, PDQ Bach, Roxanna Panufnik, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    This marks the third year running that the Classics a Day team made Christmas music the December theme. I guess that makes it a tradition. When it comes to the music of the season, there’s plenty to choose from. Since the 1100s composers have written sacred music for Advent and Christmas — and plenty of […]

  • Anne-Marie McDermott launches Mozart series

    Nov 28th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anne-Marie McDermott, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Scott Yoo, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Anne-Marie McDermott’s new Mozart series starts off with two showcase concertos. The Piano Concerto in C major, K. 415 was one of three Mozart wrote in 1783 to spotlight his talent as a composer and performer. The Piano Concerto in B-flat major, K. 238 was featured in Mozart’s 1777 European tour with his sister Nannerl. […]
