Schubert and the Trout
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Franz Schubert quoted some of his popular songs in his chamber music; none more famously than in the "Trout" Piano Quintet — which invokes (and plays around with) his song of the same name. We'll hear this delightfully sunny work in our second hour tonight from pianist Emil Gilels and members of the Amadeus Quartet.
Our evening starts, however, with music by the prolific American composer Alan Hovhaness: Kerry Stratton leads the Slovak Radio Orchestra in the "Alleluia and Fugue for String Orchestra." Later on, we'll feature two prominent pianist who are appearing live at the Met Museum this week. Ivo Pogorelich is heard in Brahms's Intermezzi, while Andras Schiff previews his all-Mozart program at the Met with the Concerto No. 27 in B-flat.
