Good morning. Two of my favorite composers together looking dapper Prokofiev and Stravinsky. Today marks the 115th anniversary of the premier of the Stravinsky’s The Firebird in 1910. #music

Tristan and Isolde premiered on this day in Munich in 1865

Very exciting to see the original score in the Richard Wagner museum in Tribschen, Lucerne. We publish a facsimile of the autograph- details here https://t.co/qU3yMXlGoQ

A great gift for the ardent Wagnerian!

Nobody moved like Seiji Ozawa 🎼

Ozawa brought passion and precision to every performance. As music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly three decades, he became one of the most influential conductors of his time 💙
