In the past, we’ve asked some of our favorite artists to choose the five or so minutes they would play to make their friends fall in love with classical music, the piano, opera and the cello.
Now we want to convince those same curious friends to love Mozart, whose mastery spanned genres and whose influence was profound. We hope you find lots here to discover and enjoy; leave your choices in the comments. So much of what I love about Mozart tends toward the poignant: his ability to express both the pain and beauty of the human condition, the way his music “smiles through the tears,” as the musicologist H.C. Robbins Landon put it. But he also offers moments of pure, unbridled joy, none more overwhelming than the finale of his “Posthorn” Serenade. I was in the first national tour of “Amadeus,” then I finished my run on Broadway. So much of the play is underscored with his music, which is more common to do in film. Mozart didn’t write a note that isn’t worth hearing. Leonore, Op. 72a: Ouverture (II) · Ludwig van Beethoven, Freiburger Barockorchester, René Jacobs.

On 8 March this year, the Amsterdam Mixed Choir gave a performance of Bach’s St John Passion in the city’s Concertgebouw auditorium.
It was one of the last major classical concerts to be held in the Netherlands before the country went into Covid-19 lockdown. The performance had unexpected consequences. Days later, singers began to sicken, one by one, until 102 of 130 choristers had fallen ill with Covid-19. One 78-year-old died, as did three partners of choir members; singers ended up in intensive care; and conductor Paul Valk displayed serious symptoms. Nor was this the only major chorus to suffer from Covid-19. These alarming developments raise a critical question. The idea is alarming. Charles Wuorinen. American composer Charles Peter Wuorinen (; June 9, 1938 – March 11, 2020) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer of contemporary classical music based in New York City.

Domingo, who cooperated and sat for an interview with the investigators, had “denied all allegations of unwanted contact and maintained that all his interactions were consensual.” The report added, without elaborating, that investigators “often found him to be sincere in his denials but found some of them to be less credible or lacking in awareness.”
Mr. Domingo did not publicly respond to the findings by Tuesday evening. Last summer several women told The Associated Press, which first reported the allegations against Mr. Two Pianists Test the Meaning of Virtuosity. What constitutes virtuosity?
It’s a commonplace, yet problematic, word in classical music. It generally refers to a performer’s technical prowess, the ability to dazzle with a sheer display of technique. But what’s the threshold for virtuosity, and how do you even isolate it from depth and insight? Two studies were recently on offer in New York. On Friday, Yuja Wang played a program at Carnegie Hall that boldly mixed works spanning nearly three centuries. These immensely gifted young artists have not only different musical orientations and personalities, but also different kinds of virtuosity. Basic Repertoire List - Shostakovich.

The group had the aim of producing a specifically Russian kind of art music, rather than one that imitated older European music or relied on European-style conservatory training. In a sense, they were a branch of the Romantic Nationalist movement in Russia, sharing similar artistic goals with the Abramtsevo Colony and Russian Revival.
