Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks!
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
It’s a bit windy during our first hour: Consortium Classicum plays Haydn’s Divertimento for Five Winds in F, and Charles Neidich and Dennis Godburn provide the lungpower for Beethoven’s Duo for Clarinet and Bassoon in C.
Although Dvorak wrote his "American" String Quartet No. 12 during his stay in Spilleville, Iowa, it sounds more typically Bohemian than American, as this evening's second-hour traversal by the Vlach Quartet demonstrates.
A suite from Rameau's "Hippolyte et Aricie" dominates our third hour, while the Clarinet Concerto by Carl Nielsen brings us into the twentieth century at the top of our final hour. Then it's back to Bach, with his Cello Suite No. 2.
