A Barber Birthday
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Were he alive today, composer Samuel Barber would have been 97 years old. We'll mark this musical maverick's birthday anniversary with several selections, including a recording of Barber singing and playing his own songs.
Later on we'll listen to selections by Osvaldo Golijov, whose music is featured on the Brooklyn Philharmonic's concert at BAM tomorrow night. Pianist Stephen Hough pays tribute to the English piano tradition in a sprinkling of works by Stephen Reynolds and York Bowen; cutting a rug Armenian style is violinist Hideko Udagawa with pianist Boris Berezovsky in dances by Aram Kachaturian.
