Hey #classicalmusic heads: The 92nd St. Y is New York's top venue for chamber music and solo recitals.

In addition to expensive tickets for in-person attendance, they provide for ridiculously cheap streaming access. I took advantage of this last season and didn’t regret it. The technical quality was excellent.

This coming season is 25 concerts for $200. The performers include Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Jeremy Denk, Richard Goode, Fazil Say, the Brentano Quartet for a Beethoven cycle, the JACK Quartet, Christian Gerhaher,...

Unlike last season, when you had to view in real time, next season they intend to make the content available for 3 days after the actual concerts, so it shouldn’t be a problem in any timezone.

Disclaimer: I’m just a customer.

BBCSSO/Wigglesworth / Booth review – Brett Dean’s song cycle is rich and strange
By Alexandra Coghlan

Royal Albert HallSoprano Clare Booth, Ryan Wigglesworth and the BBC Scottish gave the world premiere of Dean’s theatrical and engaging The World’s Wife. Elgar’s 1st didn’t quite achieve lift-off but Weir’s Moon and Star had sweep and shimmer

‘It’s the Meryl Streep of the orchestra’: why cinema loves the cello
By Jonathan Wells

From Audrey Hepburn to Pedro Pascal, cellists have become a movie shorthand for sensitivity, intensity and emotional depth. But why has Hollywood turned one orchestral instrument into a character in its own right?

I thought Nolan’s Odyssey was an epic bore. If you want Greek myths brought to life, try the thrill of opera!
By Tom Service

Composers from Purcell to Birtwistle have created passionate dramas inspired by ancient Greek stories – and none of them require you to sit through three hours of solemn spectacle without an interval

For my new followers: this year I finished designing and sewing this series of four wall quilts inspired by the four movements in Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt symphonic suite (you absolutely know the tunes for #1 and #4). One shape per bar of music, the chord determines the colour. Details at my blog: https://www.icemoonprison.com/blog/?p=282 #ThrowbackThursday #OC #quilting #quilts #music #ClassicalMusic #FiberArts @fiberarts@a.gup.pe

Alt...

"Morning Mood". Rectangular wall quilt with hexagonal tiles laid out to resemble colourful clouds against a blue sky. Some lapel pins dot the background.

Alt...

"Ase's Death". Rectangular wall quilt with several horizontal bands in colourful gradients. They are organized to suggest a phone text conversation.

Alt...

"Anitra's Dance". Rectangular wall quilt made of tiled triangles. They are arranged to fill a spacj with a meandering line. There are triangular rhinestones and there is wavy metallic embroidery.

Alt...

"In the Hall of the Mountain King". Rectangular wall quilt which looks a bit like a step pyramid, or maybe a top-down view of a xylophone. Each row gets progressively bigger and brighter until there are starburst explosions in the last three rows.

今日はロベルト・シューマンの命日。1856年、ボン近郊のエンデニヒにあった療養所で、妻クララに看取られて亡くなる。享年46。この療養所には２年前から入っていた。

今日はアントニオ・ヴィヴァルディの命日。1741年、ウィーンにて没、享年63。ウィーンには自作のオペラの上演のために招かれていたが、カール大帝の崩御のために足止めを食って帰郷が叶わない中、宿泊先で体調を崩して亡くなった。

墓地は当初ウィーンにあったが、同地は後にウィーン工科大学のキャンパスとなり、墓の存在を示す銘板が建物に設置されている。

Oscar-winning composer brings Icelandic poetry to Australian stages
By Ria Andriani

Oscar-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir never imagined global fame. Now she’s written new music for the Australian Chamber Orchestra, inspired by Icelandic poetry.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-28/hildur-guonadottir-australian-chamber-orchestra-world-premiere/106948334

#ClassicalMusic #Composer #RiaAndriani

@Bauer_Winter Thanks for reminding me of Onslow, a composer who--I think, on the basis of limited knowledge--deserves to be much better known.

Richer but *maybe* less talented than his acquaintance Felix Mendelssohn, and the student of another composer deserving more recognition, Reicha:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Onslow_(composer)

How many good composers were independently wealthy? At the moment I can only think of Elliott Carter.

It's Monday, which means it's time for #MoodMusicMonday where I pick the mood and you pick a song or songs you think fits the mood!

Today's mood is going to be "wobbly".

The song or songs can be about wobbling or sound wobbly or be when the artist or band's career or lives were wobbling or whatever you want! It's up to you to interpret the mood!

Be sure to include the hashtag #MoodMusicMonday and the mood "wobbly".

If you can, include a link to the song so others can hear too!
