Classical Duke
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
It's Duke Ellington's birthday, and we'll celebrate with a couple of his classical compositions: the man himself leads his orchestra in "Isfahan" from "The Far East Suite." Also, a little closer to home, Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Symphony bring us Ellington's "Harlem" Suite with the composer at the piano.
If Duke Ellington was the "Mozart of Jazz," then it's fitting that we hear a little from Mozart as well. Clarinetist Sabine Meyer brings her personal touch to Mozart's Clarinet concerto in A; Hans Vonk conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden.
