Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra offer a different perspective on the Baroque master.

Nicht weniger als sechzig grössere und kleinere Stars der klassischen Musikszene gaben sich beim Galakonzert in Verbier die Ehre. Ein grosser Erfolg für den Intendanten Martin Engstroem.

Chris Thile and the Knights combine virtuosity and informality, classical music, bluegrass and other genres at Zankel Hall, including Thile’s virtuoso shaggy dog story ATTENTION!

There was an oriental rug on the stage, centered and towards the front, with one stool in the far left corner and a single microphone, dead center. Clearly the makings of a solo show, Chris Thile made a joke about the “International Committee of Solo Performers” – you must play at least one, but no more than three, songs about the civil war.
