200 years ago today, the Ninth Symphony had its premiere at the Kärntnertortheater in Vienna. Here is the greatest recorded performance it has received, if not one for every day (nor is the work 'itself'). It speaks more clearly than ever, though, to the horror and darkness of our own time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AI9kp02eq0 @classicalmusic

For Neville Marriner’s 100th birthday. He was much more than an excellent ‘accompanist’, but he certainly was that. This, I think, is the finest of the Mozart piano concertos he recorded with Alfred Brendel. Both were, for better and for worse, consummate recording artists; it is perhaps no coincidence that this is a relatively rare live recording. https://youtu.be/-q9l_H6yLxM?si=mZcXEq6HHBGVA57M @classicalmusic

R.I.P. Maurizio Pollini (1942-2024). One of the greatest pianists and musicians I had the privilege to hear - and to hear regularly ar that. Perhaps only Daniel Barenboim has been so constant a pianist companion throughout my musical life. I heard him in music from Bach to Boulez and never failed to learn from him, to be inspired: above all in his beloved Chopin and Beethoven. This is above all how I shall remember and ever revisit him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0JEuFiqXO8 @classicalmusic

Q: Is there anything more moving than Márta and György Kurtág playing Bach?

100 years ago today, music's first twelve-note work (as opposed to containing some twelve-note writing), Schoenberg's Suite, op.25, was premiered by Eduard Steuermann in Vienna, in the Konzerthaus's Mozart-Saal. Here is the first movement, played by Maurizio Pollini. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy6t8yXPcSQ @classicalmusic
