This week's concert features a brand new work by Peteris Vasks. It's ethereal, and glitters like stars that are millions of light-years away.

Despite the heavy hitters lined up on this program, this concert performance features many of their lighter works, perfect for a summer's day.

The show must go on! This week's concert features a twelfth hour change, when the original soloist suddenly became ill. Luckily, Gil Shaham lives right down the street and was able to fill in at a moment's notice.

This week's show features Russian music from at time when most Russian composers happened to live in the US. (Strange, but true.)

This week's concert grew out of a shared history between two musicians, and how anti-semitism affected previous generations of composers. Together, they share in that extraordinary creativity in music of loss and great optimism.

There is something so pure, so elemental in the violin concertos of Mozart, and in the playing of the inimitable Hilary Hahn. Put them together, and -- magic!

This week features one of the best violin concertos that you've never heard of. And, no one plays it better than Christian Teztlaff.

It's the almost-a-symphony! Brahms was so gun-shy about writing a "Symphony" that he wrote one and called it a piano concerto instead.

As spring has sprung for the most part the locale is less important, but I think the planners for the Cleveland Orchestra had a great idea when they decided to hold a few of their January concerts -- like this one -- in sunny Miami.

Set aside any ideas you may have about Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto or how well the violin can be played (not kidding) because Kavakos has set a new standard.

There is nothing like the feeling of escaping winter and landing in a tropical location. In his own way, Beethoven also knew that feeling so it's only appropriate that the Cleveland Orchestra feature his vacation oeuvre during their winter residency in Miami.

Ever want to see exactly how well the speakers of your home stereo can perform? Here's your chance! This week's concert features William Walton's unabashedly lyric and very, very loud Symphony No. 1.

The right hairstylist can make you look great. The same can be said for music. Mozart had a new wife who was a singer and to show off her modest ability (no really, she was just okay) he wrote this mass. And, helped her sound like a million bucks.
