Ticking Clocks
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
When you hear a ticking clock, what do you think of? Leroy Anderson’s “Syncopated Clock?” Haydn’s Symphony No. 101, the “Clock.” Whichever, you can hear them here.
Claudio Abbado conducts the Chamber Orchestra of Europe as time goes by for the Haydn work, and not much time later, Leonard Slatkin conducts the St. Louis Symphony as they dispatch the Anderson work in only a couple of minutes. No alarms to be heard, just good music.
The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra can be heard live at Carnegie Hall on May 10th, performing Sibelius, Saint-Saëns, and Gubaidulina, as well as Prokofiev’s cheerful First Symphony, the “Classical,” which we offer you on WNYC this evening. Speaking of first, Christian Zacharias tickles the ivories as Hans Vonk conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden in Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto.
The Bamberger Symphony under Horst Stein plays Max Reger’s “Suite in Olden Style” in the second half of the evening. They’ll be performing under their chief conductor, Jonathan Nott, at Lincoln Center on May 6th and 8th. Check it out.
Serenades being originally designed for evening listening, we hear Jonathan Harvey’s “Serenade in Homage to Mozart,” followed by one of Mozart’s own Serenades, the K. 375 in E-flat.
