Podcasts about brahms's symphony no

We check in with baritone Sidney Outlaw as he prepares to bring Gustav Mahler's Songs of a Wayfarer to the Peristyle. Music Director Alain Trudel (an early champion of Sidney's) explains the lovelorn connections between Mahler and Brahms's Symphony No. 4 (also on the program), and we touch on the tragically short life of composer Lili Boulanger, whose music opens the concert.

In this extended podcast, we explore the TSO's upcoming Brahms v. Radiohead concert – which mashes up Brahms's Symphony No. 1 with songs from Radiohead's iconic album OK Computer. The brainchild of conductor, composer, performer and all-around musical visionary Steve Hackman, this multi-media presentation both defies classical crossover stereotypes while providing a gateway to enjoy and appreciate both "sides of the aisle," as it were. Also, we play a game of "Who Would Win?" 90's style (1890s v. 1990s, that is!).

By the time he composed his Symphony No. 3, ten years later, he had fully realized his true voice as a symphonic master.
