	Pro Arte: Stravinsky; "Dumbarton Oaks"
		Nobody refers to this work as the "Concerto in E-flat"; it is much more memorable to call it the "Dumbarton Oaks" concerto, though few people outside of the District of Columbia have any idea what that means.
		Dumbarton Oaks is the name of the Washington, D.C., estate of Robert Woods Bliss, who commissioned the concerto for performance there on the Bliss's thirtieth wedding anniversary, 8 May 1938 (the date mentioned in Stravinsky's annotation).
		The Dumbarton Oaks concerto was inspired by Bach's Brandenburg concertos, particularly the third.

		A series of subscription concerts is given each year in the Music Room for the Dumbarton Oaks Friends of Music.

		Finally, there are two recordings of the Concerto in E-flat for chamber orchestra ("Dumbarton Oaks"), and it is illuminating to compare the smoothly tapered rendition by Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt with the leaner, more angular version conducted by Stravinsky himself.
		The deluxe three-CD set includes 1930s performances of the Symphony of Psalms, the Violin Concerto (with Samuel Dushkin), the Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra (with Stravinsky at the keyboard) and the "Dumbarton Oaks" concerto, as well as various violin/piano duos with Stravinsky and Dushkin from their tour repertoire.

	SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Haydn
		Find out tonight at Tanglewood when he leads the orchestra in Stravinskys Concerto in E-flat for Chamber Orchestra (Dumbarton Oaks), Mozarts Violin Concerto No. 3, with Christian Tetzlaff, and Rondo in C for Violin and Orchestra, and Haydns Symphony No. 8.
		You can hear this potential in his early string quartets, where the movements often have neat conclusions and there is a playfulness reminiscent of Mozart or Haydn.
		To honor the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, the orchestra performs his Symphony No. 25 in G Minor, featured in the film "Amadeus." Also on the program are Brahms' "Variations on a Theme by Haydn" (you'll recognize the tune) and Resphigi's colorful "Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite I," both ingenious re-creations of earlier music.

		Two of them appear on this recording, "The Soldier's Tale (L'Histoire du Soldat)" and "Concerto in E-flat (Dumbarton Oaks)".
		On it we have L'histoire du Soldat and the Dumbarton Oaks concerto.
		I was not extremely impressed with the performance of L'histoire, but the Dumbarton Oaks rocked me all night long, in a sense.
