Reich @ 70
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
American Maverick Steve Reich turns 70 this week, and the Whitney Museum of Modern Art is featuring a four-hour concert event of the composer's music this Sunday afternoon. We'll hear a few of his best-known works tonight, including "New York Counterpoint" and "Duet."
Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra dig into Brahms's meaty Symphony No. 3; we'll hear a differently "seasoned" symphony with Robert Schumann's "Spring Symphony." Also, the New York City Opera performs Erich Wolfgang Korngold's rarely-heard but ravishing opera "Die Tote Stadt" (The Dead City) on Thursday night; we'll hear a little preview via baritone Boje Skovhus.
