Mr. Cello
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Tonight, cellist extraordinaire Steven Isserlis joins us to talk about his upcoming children's concerts at the 92nd Street Y. Isserlis explores music through the eyes of young people with entertaining and informative programs like "Mr. Cello Takes a Bow" and "Why Handel Waggled His Wig."
Later on, it's a salute to the season with Lou Harrison's suite from his ballet "Solstice" and Gabriel Fauré's beautiful "Song of Autumn" (sung by the elegant Gerard Souzay with pianist Dalton Baldwin). Music by Tchaikovsky and William Lawes is also featured; we'll end the evening with everyone's favorite 12th-century mystic abbess, Hildegaard of Bingen, in her "Canticles of Ecstacy."
