(Ravi Shankar (Oliver Craske))
Ravi Shankar celebrates his 85th birthday today. We celebrate, as well, by bringing you a couple of his compositions in our 9PM hour. Stay tuned!
Peter Schickele, who invented PDQ Bach and composed all of his music, is a serious composer of note(s) under his own name. We hear his Quartet for Clarinet, Violin, Cello, and Piano this evening, performed in the order of instruments named by David Schifrin, Eriko Sato, Fred Sherry, and David Oei.
The widely acclaimed English pianist Stephen Hough performs Brahms’s Piano Sonata No. 3 in F Minor during our second hour. He’s in New York on Sunday afternoon, April 10th, with a Great Performers recital at Alice Tully Hall.
Ravi Shankar plays sitar and Yehudi Menuhin, famous for his support of Shankar, plays violin as we hear “Raga Ananda Bhairava.” Shankar’s “L’aube enchantée” (The Enchanted Dawn), performed by flutist Gro Sandvik and guitarist Stein-Erik Olsen, demonstrates how well the composer fused elements of western and Eastern musics.
