Strauss emphasized
the radical shifts of
mood throughout
the piece, from the
alternately fiery
and lyrical
passages… His
performance had
an air of refreshing
spontaneity that
made it seem that
the violinist was
exploring and
discovering the
piece anew.
– Alexander Kahn,

Beethoven’s “Eroica” broke all the rules and established new musical
boundaries. Two centuries later its astonishing powers remain
undiminished. American composer Aaron Jay Kernis’ Musica Celestis
is a heavenly meditation painted in radiant, ecstatic colors.

Mozart Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major
