For today’s Marlboro Month Feature, we’ll hear Leos Janacek’s String Quartet "Intimate Letters," in a performance from 2002. Also today, Max Bruch’s first violin concerto, and chamber music featuring the harp by Jean Cras.
Dominick Argento’s "Six Elizabethan Songs" have a surprisingly baroque
feel and sound, for being written in 1958. We’ll hear them this
morning as part of VPR Classical’s "Marlboro Month" – in a 1998 Festival
performance.
We’ll hear a performance from the 2007 Marlboro Music Festival featuring Beethoven’s Octet for Winds. One of the clarinetists is Romie de Guise-Langlois, a frequent guest to the VPR Performance Studio.
We’re celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Marlboro Music Festival with special live performances recorded over the Festival’s last dozen seasons or so. Listen in the 8am hour today for a performance of Couperin’s Concert #3 in a concert from August 8, 2008.
We’ll hear the Piano Quartet #3 in C Minor, Op. 60 by Johannes Brahms this afternoon, in a performance from 1998, as we kick off a month-long celebration of the Marlboro Music Festival.
Each weekday for the next month we’re celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Marlboro Music Festival with special live performances from their recent seasons! We’ll begin this morning in the 9am hour, with pianist/Festival founder Rudolf Serkin in a recording of Mozart.
VPR Classical proudly partners with Marlboro to bring you exclusive performances, interviews and photos from this legendary Festival as it celebrates its 60th anniversary.
