Life Begins at 40
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Or so it seemed with Jean-Philippe Rameau, who rose from obscurity at age 40 to become the leading composer in France during the 18th century. Tonight we'll listen to several orchestral excerpts from Rameau's many operas, all brought to musical life by The Musicians of the Louvre under Marc Minkowski.
Also featured on tonight's playlist: the wonderfully lush and romantic Sonata for Flute and Harp by Canadian composer Marjan Mozetich; Robert Aiken and Erica Goodman performing on the respective instruments. Then it's music for Harp, Lute and Voice as counter-tenor Andreas Scholl sings the traditional songs "Annie Laurie" and "Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair" with harpist Stacey Shames and lutist Edin Karamazov. Scholl fans can get their fill in person as he appears with the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble at Zankel Hall next Tuesday.
