Mid-Evening Mostly Mozart
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Mid-evening, it's mostly Mozart, with a charming "Sleigh Ride" (one of Wolfie's German dances) tucked in between Symphony No. 39 and a Tchaikovsky tribute, his Suite No. 4,"Mozartiana."
Bruno Walter and the New York Philharmonic do the honors for the Mozart Symphony No. 39, while Antal Dorati leads the New Philharmonia Orchestra through the Tchaikovsky "Mozartiana." Oh, for those summer days of the Mostly Mozart Festival...!
The biggest and perhaps the best is reserved for our final hour, as we hear Gustav Mahler's tone-poem-like Symphony No. 1, "The Titan." The London Symphony Orchestra under James Levine makes the most of this gigantic undertaking; wait till you hear the final movement's thunder-and lighting opening and triumphant ending.
