LOWELL HOUSE JCR: Recital for Two Pianos. Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring, Saint-Saens: Scherzp, Op. 87, Brahms: Haydn Variations, Op. 56b, Jan. 20 at 3, free...
...Haydn: Symphonies Nos. 93 to 104 "Salomon") (London Philharmonic, Eugen Jochum conducting; Deutsche Grammophon; 6 LPs; $33). Individually, these symphonies delight unceasingly with their diversity, wit, bounteous melody and, at times, power. Collectively, they are the crown of Haydn's lifework. Though particular tastes may lean, say, to SzelFs "Surprise" or Bernstein's "London," this is by far the best integral set available of the complete dozen. At 71, Jochum eloquently states the case for interpretative orthodoxy...
Last Saturday, Robert Hart Baker conducted a solid program of Bach's fifth Brandenburg Concerto, Corelli's Concerto Grosso number 8 (opus 6), Mozart's Bassoon Concerto in B flat (k.V. 191), and Haydn's Symphony number 103 in E flat.

Chang, who is one of the Music 180 graduates, was joined in the Concertino (solo group...

Haydn wrote into the piece a part for solo violin which was intended for his friend, the virtuoso Johann Salomon. Lynn Chang assumed Salomon's part, and elicited all of its show-off excitement. The French hornists, though, had a tough evening. Amy Larkey and Susan Grody struggled with a part which demanded entrances with very high notes. The critical attack on the first...
...last movement of the Haydn symphony teased the audience with successive crescendos which finally culminated to end the piece, the excitement had risen, and Baker was given a roaring final ovation. The Bach Society's next concert features Yo-Yo Ma as guest soloist. If he can continue the influence on the orchestra that his classmates from Music 180 have forged, it should be a fine concert...
