Musicians on Call - Last Night

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
We'll get the show off to a spritely start with Johannes Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 6 with the London Symphony Orchestra. And don't forget that this is the last night to enter our Beethoven Festival Musicians On Call contest — winners receive home visits (and performances!) by members of the LSO.

Beethoven comes our way with one of the delightfully adventurous Cello Sonatas; we'll hear No. 5 with Steven and Carol Honigberg. Lorin Maazel leads the Bavarian Radio Symphony in Stravinsky's fascinating "A Soldier's Tale" in our second hour, followed by some Satie, Handel, and — you guessed it, Beethoven (a sprinkling at least). Violinist Dora Schwarzberg wraps it up with Robert Schumann's Second Violin Sonata; Martha Argerich is the pianist.
