Classical Music March 20, 2010 | NPR· Prokofiev's symphonic story Peter and the Wolf is a classic for kids. An enterprising little boy named Peter, together with a duck, a cat and a bird, outsmarts a wolf. It has been narrated by some of the world's great vocal actors, including Sir Peter Ustinov and Sir John Gielgud. And now — NPR's Scott Simon. March 19, 2010 | NPR· Sex, smuggling, cigarettes and murder. Now we're talking opera. Georges Bizet's popular Carmen is an opera-goer's guilty pleasure, with plenty of great tunes. Mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili, still early in her career, stars in a production from La Scala, in Milan.  March 18, 2010 | NPR· Drawing from its globe-trotting experience with Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, Brooklyn Rider blends genres and influences seamlessly, carving out its own unique space within the world of chamber music. Hear the string quartet perform a a live set as a part of NPR Music's daytime party at The Parish in Austin, Texas. March 17, 2010 | NPR· The Dante Quartet's performances of the Debussy and Ravel string quartets are etched more than most, as if they'd used fine brush strokes to carve musical shapes, rather than broad strokes that would create more wash of the musical colors. March 16, 2010 | NPR· One opera singer's illness is another's opportunity. Marlis Petersen jumped in at the last minute to take on a leading role at the Met, in New York, when the star soprano pulled out. The only catch was that she had to learn and rehearse the rarely performed opera in just 48 hours. |
