From Renaissance to Baroque. 2023
[…] Clara Schumann and William Boyce, who, like Beethoven, went deaf but continued, for a while, to compose and play the organ). We wanted to go back a month and commemorate some of the composers born during that time: too many to mention, but two of them, Henry Purcell and Antonin Dvorak, were born last week. And of course, we’ve missed a lot of performers and conductors, among whom were the pianists Aldo Ciccolini and Maria Yudina, Ginette Neveu (violin) and William Primrose (viola), the singers Kathleen Battle and Angela Gheorghiu, and conductors Wolfgang Sawallisch and Karl Böhm.

Over-abundance, 2022
[…] Kuhlau, familiar to many who had studied the piano and played his sonatinas. We’d like to give you a couple of samples of the music of our composers taken from very different eras. First, Isabella Leonarda’s Magnificat, composed in 1696. It’s performed by the Italian ensemble Musica Laudantes (here). And here, from 1950, is John Cage’s String Quartet in Four Parts, recorded by the Adritti Quartet. Two Russian pianists were also born this week, Maria Yudina and Lev Oborin, and so was the famous Hungarian violinist, Joseph Szigeti. And the mercurial soprano Angela Gheorghiu will turn 57 this week. Here is the great (and heartbreaking) final scene of Tosca with Gheorghiu and her then husband Roberto Alagna. Antonio Pappano leads the orchestra of the Covent Garden Opera in this recording from year 2000.
