Programming - April 2014

=====================================================================

Monthly Theme

This month, all of our Friday posts present “One-Work Montages”, that is a single work, without any filler. The first in this series, Mahler’s Third Symphony is also the 150^th in our ongoing podcast series, and thus gets “extended podcast” treatment, lasting over 1 hour and three quarters! In addition, the musical selections also continue our sacred work and organ music programming for Lent.

• April 4: Mahler’s Third in an award-winning performance by Leonard Bernstein and the New-York Philharmonic, joined by Christa Ludwig and the required pair of choruses. http://itywltmt.blogspot.com/2014/04/montage-150-mahlers-third-symphony.html
• April 11 – Verdi’s Requiem in the version recorded by Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic, the Swedish Radio Choir and soloists, issued for the centennial of Verdi’s death in 2001. http://itywltmt.blogspot.com/2014/04/montage-151-verdi-messa-da-requiem.html
