A Corelli Christmas
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
When Baroque composer Archangelo Corelli wrote his Concerto grosso in G Minor, Opus 6, Number 8, he inscribed it with the phrase "made for Christmas night" — much to the relief of publishers everywhere (who simply called it the "Christmas Concerto"). We'll set a seasonal mood tonight with this lovely pastorale work, in a performance from the Camerata Bariloche.
Music by Weber, Respighi, and Mozart also light up the hours, and if you're interested in Tan Dun's new opera "The First Emperor" which premieres tonight at the Met, you'll definitely want to hang around: George Preston calls in live during intermission to give us a scoop review of Dun's opera, which stars Plácido Domingo in the title role.
