About this product
Philadelphia Stories (2001) for orchestra was commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra. The world première was given by the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of David Zinman at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia on 15th November 2001. A musical travelogue of the sounds and rhythms of Philadelphia, my third symphony is divided into three movements the first movement begins at sundown, the second movement after midnight, and the third movement at sunrise. In Sundown On South Street, I recreate the groove of people cruising down one of the most popular streets of Philadelphia, where one finds nightclubs and musicians from all walks of life. The many generations of musicians who lived in Philadelphia and walked down this musical street include Sun Ra, John Coltrane, Fabian, Mario Lanza, and Patti LaBelle. In the 1980s I too was a frequent visitor to South Street, playing jazz piano and performing experimental electronic music in various nightclubs. Not only is Philadelphia said to be one of America's most haunted cities but it is also where Edgar Allan Poe penned The Tell-Tale Heart, one of his most famous tales of horror. In his lyric poetry Poe also often invoked the lute and the lyre. Tell- Tale Harp is an arabesque for two solo harps and orchestra. Arranged stereophonically on the stage, the solo harpists play obsessive rhythms, rolling chords, and ghostly echoes in a periodic heart-like pulse. To quote Poe himself, we hear Inchspirits moving musically, to a lute's well-tuned lawInch. In Bells for Stokowski I imagine Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977), one of the most influential and controversial conductors/arrangers of the twentieth century, visiting the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia at sunrise and listening to all the bells of the city resonate. As maestro of the Philadelphia Orchestra (1912-36) he created a sensation by conducting world premières of orches

![Tomas Kildisius - Die Schone Magelone - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/ecf61f40-4a39-42fe-8f60-d991992e063b.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Die schöne Magelone (The Fair Magelone) is the name of a wonderful lied cycle by Johannes Brahms, which the duo Tomas Kildišius (baritone) and Ani Ter-Martirosyan (piano) is releasing as a debut CD on GENUIN. Fortunately, they have linked the 15 Romances on texts by Ludwig Tieck with the poet's original prose fragments so listeners can experience Brahms' music in the context of the entire romantic and exotic story. With her young voice, actress Jannike Liebwerth provides the setting for the Brahms interpretations of the Armenian-Lithuanian duo, whose work has been characterized from the beginning by a shared love of lieder. This can be heard in the subtle soundscapes that bring to life the adventures of Count Peter of Provence and the fair Magelone.

This brilliant features a live recording of the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique led by Sir John Elliot Gardiner performing Schubert's Symphony No. 5 and Brahms' Serenade No. 2 in A Major. The recorded concert took place in November 2016 inside the stunning acoustics of the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. Schubert's Symphony No. 5 was written mainly in September 1816 and was completed on October 3 of that same year just six months after the completion of his prior symphony. In character, the writing is often said to resemble Mozart; Schubert was infatuated with the composer at the time he composed it. Brahms' second Serenade was written in 1859 and dedicated to Clara Schumann. The five movement work is scored for chamber orchestra, including double woodwinds but omitting violins, trumpets, trombones and percussion.

Béla Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, one of his greatest works, was written in the United States after the composer was forced to flee Hungary during World War II. It is not only a brilliant display vehicle for each instrumental section but a work of considerable structural ingenuity that unites classical forms and sonorities with the pungency of folk rhythms and harmonies. Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta explores darker moods through a score of marvelously poised symmetry. This follows Marin Alsop's 'riveting' (Gramophone) Baltimore Symphony recordings of Dvorák's symphonies. Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. With her inaugural concerts in September 2007, she became the first woman to head a major American orchestra. Her most recent appointment as principal conductor of the Sao Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (OSESP), starting in 2012, marks another historic appointment for her. In 2005, Marin Alsop was named a MacArthur Fellow, the first conductor ever to receive this prestigious award.
