  5. Johannes Moser wants you to relax into classical music

    There's nothing new about classical musicians trying to expand their fan base. Even if deeds don't always match goals, plenty of performers make the effort. Still, one doesn't expect a largely unknown, foreign artist with little connection to this country to undertake such a project in America -- let alone mostly fund the enterprise himself. Yet here is Johannes Moser, a Berlin-based cellist of German and Canadian parentage, doing just that.

  7. Classical music online: Salonen, Sellars and Mozart

    I do not unconditionally celebrate the Internet, particularly its intrusion into classical music. As replacements for the record store, Amazon and iTunes have become necessary evils. Typical commercial downloads are sonic shadows of the superior sound of CDs. Blogs ghettoize critics. YouTube is pretty much a toy.

  8. All he asks is: 'Try to like it'

    HELMUT Lachenmann's work is very strange, even by contemporary standards. This preeminent German composer shapes what are essentially noises -- taps, scrapes and rustlings, though made largely by conventional instruments -- into beautiful, even spiritual, music.

  9. Helmut Lachenmann at Monday Evening Concerts

    In Germany, he is often referred to as <a href="http://composers21.com/compdocs/lachenmh.htm">&ldquo;Professor Helmut Lachenmann.&rdquo;</a> He is 73, lanky, bearded. A student of <a href="http://www.luiginono.it/en/home">Luigi Nono</a> and <a href="http://www.stockhausen.org/">Karlheinz Stockhausen,</a> he is perhaps the foremost representative of the second-generation European avant-garde.

  10. What terrorists want

    Remember when your high school teachers tried to give their lessons more urgency by repeating the old adage that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it? Well, those days are over, or at least they should be. That's because in today's hyper-connected world, oblivion and forgetting are no longer options. The much greater danger today is our postmodern penchant to watch, replay, fixate and fetishize history even as it's happening.

  11. 2012: The Year the Music Died (So Far)

    <span style="font-size: medium;">It&rsquo;s not even June. But already this calendar year we&rsquo;ve lost a gut-wrenching list of people who&rsquo;ve impacted the music world: impresarios Don Cornelius and Dick Clark, R&amp;B legends Johnny Otis and Etta James, the incomparable Band singer and drummer Levon Helm, bluegrass banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs, amp builder Jim Marshall, Memphis Horns saxophonist Andrew Love, pop icons Whitney Houston and Davy Jones, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, Stax bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, disco queen Donna Summer, classical art-song master Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, on and on. And, earlier this week, Robin Gibb, who&rsquo;d been battling cancer for some time.</span>

  12. Psychedelic Spring: A new Grateful Dead documentary gives Deadheads a reason to tune in and turn on

    <span style="font-size: medium;">Every spring, I listen to the Grateful Dead with fresh ears, not to the exclusion of everything else, but close to it. (I'm not alone in this. How many people in the Northeast associate the Dead's music with thaw, both literal and spiritual?) </span>
