Susan Graham’s Carnegie Hall recital with Malcolm Martineau on Wednesday included music by Purcell, Schubert, Schumann, Liszt and more.

See ya January. Off to fuck with you now. February sees me taking on some work in Dublin and facing into a daily commute totalling 5 hours to and from my job. I'm trying to be as zen as possible about this and want to maximise my use of the down time afforded by the bus trip. If I turn off my phone, I can completely tune in and turn on to a good book, a podcast, or an album. I can give my attention fully over to these things without feeling the nebulous guilt that can cling to ...

Schubert's ninth symphony suffers from something of an identity crisis not of its own making. It was originally published in 1840 as Schubert's seventh symphony and is often called the "Great", primarily to distinguish it from his sixth symphony, also in C Major, sometimes referred to as the "Little". However, the term "Great" is now more often applied to refer to the overall majesty and power of what is frequently now regarded as Schubert's greatest symphonic work. To this day, the Germans refer to it as the seventh, while the English refer to it as the ninth ...

Some of history's greatest musical minds — Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and others — made bold, uncharacteristic compositions during their last days on Earth.

The mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter joined the New York Philharmonic with Haydn, Schubert and Ravel on Wednesday evening at Avery Fisher Hall.

When Stern magazine declared his “the most beautiful voice in the world,” it was in reference to achievements like his Grammy-winning recordings of Schubert, Mahler and Bach. But early on, thanks to older brother Michael, Quasthoff offset his classical education with keen appreciation for Coltrane, Miles and Dizzy, and forged a lifelong fondness for American soul hits that poured forth from the radio in his native Germany. Five years ago, the celebrated bass-baritone recorded his first, exceptionally good, jazz album. Now, at 52, he strays again, this time to salute the soul brethren, with equally fine results. But unlike the ...

Since making a name for himself with the scores for films like “Rain Man,” “Backdraft” and “Crimson Tide,” Hans Zimmer has become one of the most in-demand composers in the entertainment industry. Remarkably, he’s not just prolific, but enormously acclaimed. In addition to composing sixteen scores -- in 2010 and 2011 alone - Zimmer won an Oscar for “The Lion King” and earned seven more nominations for everything from “Rain Man” to “Inception.” Amazingly, even when it comes to even sequels, Zimmer told The Playlist he’s not interested in resting on his laurels, much less his past accomplishments. ...
