Anna Moffo — a Tribute
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The Metropolitan Opera Guild presents a tribute to the late soprano Anna Moffo this Wednesday, hosted by Sherrill Milnes and featuring appearances by special guests. We'll hold our own tribute tonight as we hear this beloved artist in Villa-Lobos's "Bachianas brasileiras No. 5" and Joseph Cantaloube's "Songs of Auverne."
Also tonight, a young Daniel Barenboim takes on Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25; Otto Klemperer leads the New Philharmonia Orchestra. Later in the evening, it's non-operatic music by operatic composers, as Antonio Janigro conducts I Solisti Zagreb in Rossini's Sonata in E flat, followed by Wagner's musical birthday present to his wife Cosima, the "Siegfried Idyll."
