By the light of the moon...
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Debussy's "Suite bergamasque" contains one of his most famous compositions, the 'Clair de lune.' But there are three other episodes, all equally charming, if not so familiar.
This evening we hear the entire suite as orchestrated by Gustave Cloez and Andre Caplet, in a performance by the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra under Emil de Cou.
Cellist Mischa Maisky joins the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra for Tchaikovsky's "Variations on a Rococo Theme." To remind you, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra will appear at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, February 8th, playing the premiere of a Marc Mellits piece co-commissioned by WNYC.
Can anyone resist Gershwin's "An American in Paris"? Hear Henry Lewis conduct the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra mid-evening. Our final hour feature is Papa Haydn's Symphony No. 84 in E-flat, Yehudi Menuhin conducting the Menuhin Festival Orchestra.
