TTC Audio: The Symphony
2011 | Robert Greenberg | 18 hours | AVI | RAR SIZE 7.19 GB
Label: The Great Courses | Language: English
The great Bohemian-born composer Gustav Mahler once said, "A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything." Over the course of its nearly 300-year life, the symphony has indeed embraced almost every trend to be found in Western concert music. In this series of 24 45-minute lectures, Professor Robert Greenberg guides the listener on a survey of the symphony. You'll listen to selections from the greatest symphonies by many of the greatest composers of the past 300 years. You'll also hear selections from some overlooked works that, undeservedly, have been forgotten by contemporary audiences.

Humble Beginnings, Unmatched Achievement
The symphony evolved from the 17th-century Italian opera overture and the Baroque ripieno concerto.
By the mid to late 18th century, the symphony became the single most important genre of orchestral music.
