Anyone living in New York going to this?
The New York Philharmonic will be presenting Black Panther in Concert, where they’ll be playing the movie Black Panther and the score will be played LIVE by the Phil and Special Guests.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic has done this sort of thing at the Hollywood Bowl, and I believe at Disney Concert Hall as well.
Anyway, you know how I feel about the score.
This is happening Dec 20-23 2023.
I’m already jealous of anyone who gets to go to this concert.
(Kinda wishing they’d do this at the Hollywood Bowl. I’d maybe do a road trip)

The New York Philharmonic just dropped a reminder that 10 years ago they presented a fantastic production of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd with brilliant Bryn Terfel, unforgettable Emma Thompson, and beloved Philip Quast. The opening number was stunning!

Rhapsody in Blue · Gary Graffman · New York Philharmonic Orchestra George Gershwin · Zubin Mehta Manhattan: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack ℗ 1979 Sony Music Entertainment Released on: 1987-02-03
+
Song of the Day - “Rhapsody In Blue”
Today is the 100th anniversary of the premiere of George Gershwin’s masterpiece “Rhapsody In Blue” - February 12th, 1924.
This much-anticipated concert, on a snowy afternoon at Aeolian Hall inn Manhattan, was called "An Experiment in Modern Music”. It was performed by Gershwin himself on the piano, backed up by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra.
This exquisite piece, the quintessential blending of classical music and Jazz, was a perfect reflection of New York City, and really of America, being, as Gershwin put it, "a musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot, our unduplicated national pep, our blues, our metropolitan madness.”
For me, it never gets old... and while this original version is obviously special, my favorite version of it is Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic with Gary Graffman on the piano recorded for the soundtrack of Woody Allen's “Manhattan”… perfection….

Fun fact! Did you know that Dmitri Shostakovich was nominated for two Grammy Awards during his career?
His Piano Concerto no. 2, Op. 102 (though the Grammy website lists it as op. 101) was nominated at the 2nd Annual Grammy Awards in 1960 for Best Musical Composition First Recorded And Released In 1959 (More Than 5 Minutes Duration), specifically the Leonard Bernstein recording; and his Symphony No. 4, op. 43 was nominated for Best Classical Composition By A Contemporary Composer at the 6th Annual Grammy Awards in 1966.
Unfortunately he didn't win either nomination.
Pictured above is Shostakovich smoking a cigarette with legendary conductor/composer Leonard Bernstein, during Bernstein's trip to Moscow with the New York Philharmonic in 1959, the same year as Bernstein and the Philharmonic's Grammy-nominated performance of Shostakovich's second piano concerto.

毎年恒例、ニューヨークフィルのヘンデルのメサイヤを聴きに、リンカーンセンターへ行ってきました。新しく改装されたコンサートホールは、かなり音が良い響きになるよう作られたらしく、10月にリオープンしたばかりでしたが、最高な響きでした。指揮者も日本人の方で本当に素晴らしかったです。これを聴くとクリスマス、年末年始がもうすぐだなとワクワクします。
Went to Lincoln Center to see New York Philharmonic’s “Handel’s Messiah” tonight. The hall was renovated to have better acoustics and reopened this Oct. It was amazing to be able to hear every each single instrument very clearly! The conductor was Japanese and it was such a great concert!!

My school’s field band is going on a trip to perform in New Jersey, and the day before we perform we’re going to see the New York Philharmonic. Guys. They’re taking sixty middle and high schoolers to New York City to see the New York Philharmonic. The fucking New Yorchestra. My teeth are vibrating with joy and anticipation.

Stephen Sondheim’s Follies
The legendary 1985 concert performance of Stephen Sondheim's acclaimed musical Follies was presented by the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center.
The thrilling - and possibly historic - New York Philharmonic concert version of Follies presented at Avery Fisher Hall was a reunion of sorts, albeit one with a happier ending. To cast this all too transitory event, the producer Thomas Z. Shepard brought together veterans of Sondheim musicals stretching from the 1964 Anyone Can Whistle to Sunday in the Park With George - among them, Lee Remick, Elaine Stritch, George Hearn, Liz Callaway and Mandy Patinkin. They were joined by other stellar musical-comedy hands who exemplify the Broadway heyday whose passing Follies mourns - Barbara Cook, Carol Burnett, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Once this company paraded before the orchestra to the glittering melody of the opening song, ''Beautiful Girls,'' it was impossible to separate the fictional show-biz reunion dramatized in Follies from the real one unfolding on stage. The audience, more than willing to let the distinction slide, simply erupted into pandemonium.
The cheering rarely subsided thereafter, and not without reason. Mr. Shepard assembled this evening to record the complete Follies score, which was mangled on its original Broadway cast album. Although there were still a few elisions (mainly of dance music) in the concert, this version was as complete, gorgeously sung and sumptuously played as Mr. Sondheim or his fans could wish. But there were other reasons for the thunderous response as well. Even in concert, Follies proved much more than merely a star-studded recording session. The performance made the case that this Broadway musical can take its place among our musical theater's very finest achievements. (Frank Rich, The New York Times)

OTD in Music History: Gustav Mahler (1860 – 1911) is born in what is now the Czech Republic. Although during his own life he was mostly celebrated as a master conductor, today Mahler is hailed as of the greatest symphonists ever – a remarkable turnaround, given that his original compositions were mostly ignored for nearly 50 years following his death. Nevertheless, he was never *entirely* forgotten: 20th Century titans including Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951), Dmitri Shostakovich (1906 - 1975), and Benjamin Britten (1913 - 1976) all openly acknowledged their debt to him. PICTURED: An 1897 cabinet photograph of Mahler (featuring a vanity "touch up" paint job to hide his balding -- the 19th Century version of “Photoshop”!), which he signed and inscribed to an admirer. The content and timing of this inscription (“July 1897 in Hamburg . . . on the way to Vienna”) is notable in that it highlights a pivotal crossroads in Mahler’s life. After a lengthy apprenticeship spent conducting at secondary opera houses, Mahler had assumed the position of Chief Conductor at the Hamburg Opera House in 1891. He still did not enjoy absolute artistic control in that position, however, because he remained subordinate to the Director. By July 1897, he was on the cusp of realizing his ultimate dream: Becoming Director of the Vienna Opera House. After undergoing a “pragmatic conversion” from Judaism to Catholicism in February 1897 (Jews were barred from holding the position), he caused a furor in Vienna with highly-praised performances of Wagner's “Lohengrin” and Mozart’s “Die Zauberflote" in May 1897. He then returned to the city once again in late July (shortly after signing this photograph), to present Vienna's first-ever uncut version of Wagner’s “Ring” cycle. When Mahler’s “Ring” proved to be yet another triumph, the Emperor finally appointed him to the Directorship of the Vienna Opera House in October 1897. The decade Mahler spent in that role remains legendary.

Listening to this new release of Mahler Symphony No. 3 by the @nyphil
Several of Mahler's symphonies require 6-8 timpani (on top of generally demanding instrumentation) which makes it difficult for an amateur orchestra to perform them

Ligeti György az én szubjektív véleményem szerint méltatlanul ritkán említett szerző. A Le Grand Macabre talán nem a legkönnyebben befogadható darab, de Barbara Hannigan valami eszelősen jó Gepopo. Noha ugyanaz a darab, ugyanaz az eloado, mégis a két videó nagyon más hangulatot sugároz. Persze, az egyik egy rövid szóló, míg a másik az opera valós színpadi előadása, mégis érdemes egymást követően megnézni őket. Mindkettő zseniális, mindkettőt nagyon szeretem.
Korábban a teljes New York Philharmonic előadás fent volt a YouTube-on, ha valaki rátalál, nézze meg! Íme a második felvétel:
