This Friday on
Vivace, we have some special musical treats for you.
We start gently
at 6 am with a Sonata for Flute and Piano by Danish composer
Friedrich Kuhlau and, for viola fans, a viola concerto by Carl
Stamitz. We will also salute British composer Herbert Howells on his 122nd birthday
- appropriately with his arrangement of Psalm 122.
Herbert Howells and Domenico Zipoli
At 7, we find
Franz Schubert in lively mood as we listen to his Five German Dances,
and we'll also have a short work by Domenico Zipoli, whose 326th
birthday will be on Friday.
Felix Mendelssohn at 22
On October 17,
1831, the 22 year-old Felix Mendelssohn gave the first performance of
his Piano Concerto No. 1 in G, Op. 25 in In Munich. To commemorate
the occasion we'll hear it at about 7:30 am, in a sparkling
performance by Sir Andras Schiff, who returned to the same hall in
Munich to perform it with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The real star of
this week's show may well turn out to be the Cello Concerto No.6 by
Jean Balthasar Tricklir, which we'll hear just after 8 am. We're
anticipating a good audience reaction, so here's a photo of the CD
cover, just in case you want to buy it.
We'll round out
the show with music of Hummel and Mozart. As ever, I hope you'll join
me for Vivace, 6-9 am Friday, right here on WTJU-Charlottesville.
