Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

  • #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. […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalEleven Week 2

    Nov 15th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalEleven, #ClassicsaDay, Dag Wirén, Heinrich Schütz, Nikolai Medtner, Samuel Barber, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    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. […]

  • 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 […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSpring Week 3

    Apr 19th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalSpring, #ClassicsaDay, Classical music, Darius Milhaud, Egon Wellesz, Giuseppe Verdi, Jean Sibelius, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    For January 2019 the #ClassicsaDay team made #ClassicalWinter then theme. It seemed only right to continue the trend and celebrate Spring. So for April 2019, everyone is encouraged to share classical works inspired by the season. Some famous pieces may readily come to mind, such as the “Spring” movement from Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” or Copland’s “Appalachian […]

  • Rune Most Delivers Engaging Performances of Mozart Flute Music

    Mar 4th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Benjamin Shwartz, Bridge Records, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Odense Symphony Orchestra, Rune Most, Scott Yoo, Sivan Nagem, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    A quick check on Arkivmusic.com revealed over 80 releases of Mozart’s flute concertos in print. So why should anyone pay attention to this release? Simple — the quality of the performances. Rune Most offer fresh insights into these well-known works. Most plays a modern wooden flute. Its smooth, mellow sound is close to what Mozart […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #FamousLastWorks Week 1

    Oct 5th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicsaDay, #FamousLastWorks, Arnold Schoenberg, Classical music, Franz Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    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 #ClassicalNine Week 4

    Sep 28th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalNine, #ClassicsaDay, Arnold Bax, Carl Nielsen, Classical music, Domenico Scarlatti, Osvaldo Golijov, Twitter, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    September is the ninth month of the year. And so the #ClassicsaDay team decided to make the number the theme. For September 2018, the challenge is to post classical works that have to do with the number nine.  I chose to alternate between nonets, opus nine compositions and works with a catalog number of nine. […]

  • Mozart: Music for Harpsichord Four Hands – an unusual choice

    Nov 9th, 2016 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Basilio Timparano, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical, Classical music, Rossella Policardo, Stradivarius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    This is a somewhat curious album. Not because of the repertoire — recordings of Mozart’s 4-hand keyboard works aren’t that rare. Some of the works represented here have over 40 different recorded versions currently available. No, what makes this collection unusual is the instrument itself. Most of the recordings of this music are done with […]
