Yes, quite a good program! I'm not that familiar with Andromache's Farewell, so very much looking forward to that.

On Wednesday, the concert will be broadcast live on public television, and after that, will be available online for a week after the broadcast (audio only?). I'll try to remember to post the link where you can hear it.

I am not familiar with that Barber piece either! Do let us know what it is like.
Wonderful that it shall be available as a broadcast, I am looking forward to hearing it! I always love hearing the Salome Dance in a live performance, I often find that studio recordings lack excitment.

Yes, quite a good program! I'm not that familiar with Andromache's Lament, so very much looking forward to that.

A minor correction: the name of the work is actually called Andromache's Farewell.

[bhodges]

Oops, my bad. (Where did I get that? Too much multi-tasking... )

Anyway, fixed, thanks.

It's good to see some Barber on a concert program. Is it me or does his music seem to be not to be performed as much as it used to be?

[bhodges]

Based on a very casual, non-scientific survey of what comes through New York, there's a lot of Barber but it tends to be the same handful of pieces: the Adagio for Strings, The School for Scandal Overture, and now and then, the Violin Concerto and Knoxville: Summer of 1915. (I suspect the Piano Concerto doesn't show up just because it's so hard.) Dover Beach and a few of the other songs (e.g., Sure on this Shining Night) are also pretty popular on recitals.

Weber – Oberon Overture
Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 23
Schubert – Symphony No. 9

My knowledge of Schubert is limited to lieders so I'm looking forward to be introduced to his symphonic work.
