Young Schubert
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Franz Schubert wrote his Symphony No. 3 in D major in 1815, a few months after his eighteenth birthday. Often overshadowed by the mighty "Unfinished" Symphony No. 9, the boisterously youthful Symphony No. 3 sparkles with robust rhythms and pastoral melodies. We'll hear an inspired (as well as extremely speedy) interpretation by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Carlos Kleiber.
Also tonight, we'll hear a violin concerto by Vivaldi, a violin sonata by Mozart, as well as less familiar works by Renaissance composer Claudio Monteverdi and contemporary composer Martin Bresnick. Finally, we'll hear two unexpected classical guitar arrangements of Beatles songs in anticipation of tomorrow night's broadcast of Paul McCartney's "Ecce Cor Meum," live from Carnegie Hall.
