N. Y.My City, my beloved, my white! Ah, slender,Listen! Listen to me, and I will breathe into thee a soul.Delicately upon the reed, attend me!Now do I know that I am mad,For here are a million people surly with traffic;This is no maid.Neither could I play upon any reed if I had one.My City, my beloved,Thou art a maid with no breasts,Thou art slender as a silver reed.Listen to me, attend me!And I will breathe into thee a soul,And thou shalt live for ever.Ezra PoundHaydnSymphony No. 49 "La Passione"AdamsThe Wound-dresserSchubertSymphony No. 8 "Unfinished"BergThree Orchestral PiecesDigital download with covers and some booklets BachPiano Concerto No. 1SchoenbergPiano ConcertoMozartSymphony No. 36Emanuel Ax pianoRachmaninovSymphony No. 2ProkofievPiano Concerto No. 2Yefim Bronfman pianoChristopher RouseOdna ZhiznSymphonies Nos. 3 & 4Prospero's RoomsStravinskyThe Rite of SpringRespighiPines of RomeFountains of RomeTchaikovskySymphony No. 2StuckySon et LumiereBerliozLes Nuits d´etéMussorgskyPictures at an ExhibitionJoyce DiDonato mezzosopranoMussorgskyNight on Bald MountainRimsky-KorsakovScheherazadeMozartGreat Mass in C minorJennifer Zetlan sopranoJennifer Johnson […]

Recent Releases No. 70 (CD Reviews)
by Karl NehringHaydn: 48 Piano Sonatas. Daniel-Ben Pienaar, piano. AVIE AV257In yet another project undertaken in the dark days of the COVID-19 pandemic, South African pianist Daniel-Ban Pienaar has produced this imposing box set containing eight compact discs on which he has recorded as the cover declares “the 39 authenticated multi-movement solo keyboard works from 1765 onwards and nine earlier works presumed to be Haydn’s, or probably his, by the vast majority of scholars.” These works include: Four early Sonatas (listed in Haydn’s Entwurf-Katalog of 1765); Six Sonatas (1765-1772); Six Sonatas dedicated to Prince Nicolas Esterházy (c. 1773, published in 1774); Six Sonatas (1774-?76); Six Sonata dedicated to Katharina and Marianna Auenbrugger (published in 1880); Three Sonatas (published in London in 1783); Three Sonatas for Princess Maria Esterházy (published in 1784); Two Sonatas (1789-90); Three English Sonatas (1794-95); plus Variations in F minor (1793) and nine early Sonatas widely presumed to be by Haydn.

Cal Performances has done a pre-announcement of one item on the 2024-25 schedule: the Vienna Philharmonic will be back, this time conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, whom, as well all know, has't got enough to do as music director of both the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera. At least it's not Christian Thielemann, who led the worst concert I have ever heard from an orchestra and conductor of their respective statures.The programming for their concerts, though - WTF. The most recent work is Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben, composed in 1898. Nothing from the 20th century, let alone the 21st century. Not to mention that it's all by white guys sorta like the orchestra, all of them dead.Vienna Philharmonic […]

Dalia Stasevska at SFS
Dalia StasevskaPhoto by Veikko Kähkönen, courtesy of San Francisco SymphonyDalia Stasevska took over last week's SFS program, one of two that Michael Tilson withdrew from. (Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the other, which is in a couple of weeks.) I was extremely enthusiastic about her, and like pianist Seong-Jin Cho a lot. Reviews:Joshua Kosman, SF Chronicle. Total agreement about looking forward to hearing how many strings she has in her bow. Lisa Hirsch, SFCV. I really should have mentioned that this was also the third recent go-round for the Beethoven: Yefim Bronfman with Salonen season before last (I think) on the program with the Kongsberg Variations and Bruce Liu, subbing for Hillary Hahn on Rafael Payare's program last year. Liu played it like late Mozart, a defensible approach; Bronfman with great depth and profundity, looking forward.DB at Kalimac's corner
