Beethoven, Mass in C Major • Sibelius, Finlandia • Brahms, Alto Rhapsody
Beethoven wrote his Mass in C major, Op.
86, to a commission from Prince Nikolaus
Esterházy II in 1807. Of the work,
Michael Moore writes "While [it] is often
overshadowed by the immense Missa
Solemnis, written some fifteen years later,
it has a directness and an emotional
content that the latter work sometimes
lacks." The widely-read Penguin Guide to
Compact Discs (2004 edition) forthrightly
calls the work a "long-underrated
masterpiece." ( Purchase Tickets) |

Gary Hobbs • March 3, 2012"Gary Hobbs became a legend in his own
time as the drummer who joined the Stan
Kenton Orchestra right out of college,
following such class acts as Gene Krupa
and Shelley Manne. At 59, with 38 years
of gigging behind him, he is still the guy
who drives big bands, undaunted by
tempo changes or polyrhythms. But with
smaller groups, Hobbs is also the guy on
the cajon set, who coaxes organic Latin
rhythms from wooden boxes and goat
hooves." ~Nancy Barker

Rossini, Stabat Mater • Beethoven, Symphony No. 9 (Final Movement)
Rossini composed "this poor little Mass"
(his own words) in 1832, but Stabat Mater
had its premier in its definite form in
1842. The poet Heine wrote after hearing
the piece that the theater seemed "a
vestibule of heaven". The audiences were
deeply moved by the somber beauty
of the long opening and taken by the
beautiful melodies of the following
movements. As evidence of Rossini’s
serious purpose the work ends with a
great double fugue. ( Purchase Tickets) |
