Notes from the 2013 Schubertiade ( 2 ) • Prégardien Père et Fils

Posted on 1:30 AM by Unknown

A Father & Son Duo of Tenors
Christoph Prégardien, tenor-father, and Julian Prégardien, tenor-son, appeared on stage of the Angelika-Kauffmann Hall for the afternoon concert on August 28th and engaged in a light program of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, and Schubert—alternating for a few, tag-teaming a few others, but mostly going at these songs in versions that they arranged for two

'Potted Potter' at Harman Hall

Posted on 1:00 PM by Unknown
We are big fans of the Harry Potter books at Ionarts Central, where both kids and both parents are devoted to J. K. Rowling (and the movies that came from her work).

The two notable themes that wormed their way through the 2013 Salzburg Festivals were too subtle and too inconsequentially pursued to be considered actual foci, but still, there they were, offering a little guidance and

Briefly Noted: Freiburg's Orchestral Suites

Posted on 11:30 PM by Unknown


Bach, Orchestral Suites (Ouvertures), Freiburger Barockorchester, P. Müllejans, G. von der Goltz
(released on November 8, 2011)
HMC 902113.14 | 93'42"
