San Francisco Symphony 2022-23
Esa-Pekka Salonen Photo by Minna Hatinen, courtesy of San Francisco Symphony San Francisco Symphony announced its 2022-23 season today. I'm going to start out with the two most jaw-dropping items on the schedule: Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Busoni! Piano! Concerto! with Igor Levit. This program includes the men of the SF Symphony Chorus, because of course no piano concerto is complete without a men's chorus. This will be the SFS premiere of the work. Levit also plays a solo recital, a chamber music program, and LvB piano concerto No. 5 on a program with the Eroica (Salonen conducts). Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts Kaija Saariaho's Adriana Mater, the composer's second opera, staged by Peter Sellars. I reviewed this opera at its US premiere at Santa Fe Opera in 2008; it's a great piece and Sellars did a fine job directing it then. There's nothing in the press kit about who the […]

Bits and pieces, 2020
This Week in Classical Music: May 11, 2020. Bits and pieces. Claudio Monteverdi, a great Italian composer, was born this week, on May 15th of 1567, but we’ve written about him so many times (here, here, here and more) that we will skip the event this time around. Otherwise, several very good but hardly great Frenchmen: Massenet, Fauré and Satie (born on May 12th of 1842, on the same day of 1845 and on May 17th of 1866 respectively), a very nice but underappreciated Czech composer Jan Václav Voříšek was born on May 11th of 1791; he died of tuberculosis at the age of 34, who knows how far his talent would’ve carried him had he lived longer. Then, to quote one of our earlier entries,, “Anatol Liadov, a minor but pleasant composer of short piano pieces. Were it not for his laziness and lack for self-assurance, he might’ve developed into […]
