Two pianos, two cellos, and a horn

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Schumann’s Op. 46 Andante and Variations, unusual in its scoring, is performed by pianists Martha Argerich and Alexandre Rabinovitch, cellists Natalia Gutman and Mischa Maisky, and hornist Marie-Louise Neunecker.

Haydn's Symphony No. 95 in C Minor, the second of twelve symphonies composed during his two happy stays in London, is given a lovely reading by the Collegium Musicum 90 under Richard Hickox.

George Solti and the Orchestre de la Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire (try saying that quickly, four times in a row!) perform with panache the "Little Russian" Symphony, or No. 2 in C Minor, by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This just happens to be the anniversary of its 1873 first performance in Moscow.
