Teasdale, Tin, and Memley: There Will Come Soft Rain, Part I

“There Will Come Soft Rains” by Sara Teasdale There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum-trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; And not…

Mozart: Clarinet quintet K581 in A major

“Bonnard’s fascination with the vibrant urban landscape of Paris can be traced to his paintings of the mid-1890s…The spectacle of urban modernity provided a colorful source of inspiration, and the artist was drawn to the variety of subjects it offered. His city scenes reflect a unique joie de vivre achieved through the use of bright…

Peled and Popper: Requiem for Three Cellos and Piano

“From his new dwelling overlooking the Hudson River, Church captured in his paintings the seasonal changes in the landscape. Autumn, from the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection, was painted for his great friend and patron William Henry Osborn (1820‒1894), the owner of Castle Rock, a stone-built castle on the banks of the Hudson River. Church and Osborn shared…

Anuna: One Last Song (Michael McGlynn)

One Last Song Sing me one last song that will carry me away To the warm summer memory of home; And that old melody softly echoes on the breeze, To a pathway that I must walk alone. I have loved, I have lain on the dewy morning fields With a cloud of apple blossom in…

Mozart: String Quartet No. 21 in D major, K. 575

Paul Gauguin: Nature morte avec pivoines de chine et mandoline (1885)

“The dominant blue palette in Nature morte avec pivoines de chine et mandoline is exceptional not only for its brilliance and rarity within Gauguin’s oeuvre but also for its evocative symbolism within art history. Often connoting the numinous and the divine, the color blue and its spiritual significance would not have been lost on the…

Menahem Pressler: Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major, K. 595 (Mozart)

“The Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major (K. 595) is the last of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756 – 1791) piano concertos, of a total of 21. He wrote it in 1791, the year of his death. At its premiere in Vienna, Mozart played the solo part himself – it was to be his final…

Mozart: String Quartet No. 16 Es-Dur KV 428

“In ‘Dédé at the table’ the artist’s attention is evenly divided between the girl and her surroundings. The décor, a flowery wall covering and a flowery table cloth obtrude upon us. The feeling of depth has almost disappeared and the strong diagonal line from lower left to upper right is dominant. The still life of…

Beethoven: String Quartet No. 13

“From the early 1910s onwards, Kandinsky turned his back on the depiction of the world of external appearances, embarking instead on the creation of wholly-abstract canvases, like Painting with Three Spots, which led to his being hailed as the great pioneer of non-objective art. These works express Kandinsky’s desire to create a pictorial equivalent of…

Hauser: Lascia Ch’io Pianga from Rinaldo (Handel)

“The present lot was executed in Rome where Marie Spartali Stillman lived with her husband William James Stillman (1828-191) who was posted there as a foreign correspondent for The Times between 1889-1896. It is very possible that the sitter in this picture is Bella Middleton the eldest of Marie’s step-daughters, who was present in Rome…

Mozart: Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, KV 478

“The glistening azure-glazed vessel and vibrant floral arrangement exemplify Bonnard’s application of the intimisme of his earlier Nabis pictures and the vibrant coloration that define the most successful compositions of his later years. Still-lifes had occupied a large part of the artist’s oeuvre over the course of his career, but as he developed his style, his approach to these compositions is much more…

Why Is Paul Gauguin So Controversial?

“Was Van Gogh really painting a vase of sunflowers when his friend Gauguin produced this portrait of him? No, he can’t have been: it was December and far too late in the year for sunflowers. But it’s quite probable that Van Gogh painted a copy of one of his own sunflower pictures around this time….
