Fun with Ludwig
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
As we get ready to explore all things Beethoven starting tomorrow, we'll poke a little fun at the master: The Cambridge Buskers perform "The Nine Symphonies"; we'll also hear Werner-Thomas Mifune's "Comic String Quartet" based on Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony."
Of course, a little serious Beethoven is in order as well as we hear Robert Taub perform the "Moonlight" sonata (along with some moon-themed music by Debussy and from 16th-century Valencia). Igor Stravinsky's Violin Concerto dominates our second hour with soloist Maxim Vengerov; the Flute takes over later on with Haydn's Trio in G, featuring flutist Konrad Hunteler. And we'll hear a little preview of pianist Peter Serkin's Zankel Hall concert this Wednesday, with music by Toru Takemitsu.
