View Original Today’s issue is an eclectic mix, and I think delightfully so. From an outstanding new release by The Hague String Trio of modern music composed in the 1920s, to even more challenging modern music of the past 30 years with the Rudersdal Chamber Players, to music of the 18th Century on clavichord (of […]

How would you describe your orientation as a composer in the spectrum of music from traditional hindustani or carnatic music to western classical music to more popular contemporary music? As a composer, I look for different ways to carry my tradition into new genres. That means that a lot of things can be relevant. Many […]

Richard Strauss straddled the 19th and 20th centuries and was a towering figure in late romantic and early modern music. I enjoy his tone poems so I was especially glad to discover these two orchestral suites from Strauss operas, performed by Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

Musical instruments from the Baroque era were often quite different than modern counterparts.

Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, […]
