The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, at St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue on Friday, confirmed what many listeners think they know about the British choral tradition, but then gave listeners other things to think about too. The 30 men and boys led by ...
Baroque music practiced its own kind of globalism in its time, although the globe was smaller then. Bach wrote French and English suites and an “Italian Concerto.” Domenico Scarlatti wrote in a style nurtured in Italy but with the twang and rhythmic ...
Modesty, brevity and self-control were not big sellers among the succession of me-generation composers who occupied the 19th century and a lot of the 20th. Plopped down in the middle of Schumann, Berlioz and the art of the heart-on-sleeve, Mendelssohn ...

Different in their methods and their messages, Mozart and Gunther Schuller had at least one thing in common on Sunday afternoon: a desire to please. The Met Chamber Ensemble, led by James Levine, was convening at Zankel Hall. The music was two Mozart ...
I may not be the best person to write about “Traces,” at the Angel Orensanz Center on Wednesday night. A listener indifferent to, uninformed about or just plain hostile to the classical-music world and its conventions might be better someone coaxed ...
