Much Ado About Erich
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Before Erich Wolfgang Korngold found his great fortune in Hollywood as a writer of film scores, he was still one of the most popular and successful composers in Europe. Tonight we'll hear some theatrical music he wrote before coming to California: Gil Shaham and Andre Previn perform Korngold's "Much Ado About Nothing" suite for violin and piano.
Be sure to tune in first, however, at 8:00 tonight for another wonderful violinist, as Ilya Gringolts performs in WNYC's "Concerts from the Frick Collection." Later on, Evening Music spices things up with some Flamenco from guitarist Pepe Romero and friends; we'll also hear music from the Spanish-born, German-trained, naturalized American composer Carlos Surinach. Members of the Bronx Arts Ensemble team up with pianist Pablo Zinger for Surinach's Piano Quartet, his own musical tribute (a là Villa-Lobos) to Johann Sebastian Bach.
