		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED The Old Town School of Folk Music has been the stage for countless performances for its half-century existence, hosting concerts that run the gamut from Americana to folk-rock and world music and in the meantime giving lesser-known artists a chance to showcase their talents to appreciative audiences that might not be reached otherwise. To celebrate this, the school [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Dennis Polkow The Gospel of Matthew states, “I was in prison, and you visited me.” It&#8217;s an adage Chicago Symphony Orchestra music director Riccardo Muti takes very seriously. He has visited prison a number of times in his native Italy, and during the first days of his inaugural season last year as music director it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED It is odd how history has dealt with Hitler’s attraction to certain composers: performing Wagner in a high-profile manner is still considered taboo in Israel, although no one in Israel or anywhere else worries about programming Hitler’s favorite work by his favorite composer, “Carmina burana” by Carl Orff. The music of Austrian composer Franz [...]]]></description>

The Welsh bass-baritone superstar has severely curtailed his American appearances and the Met has been his first priority when he does come to the States. This week Terfel makes his long-awaited return to Chicago at Ravinia, where he had several early career [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Soprano Deborah Voigt has been singing a lot of Puccini recently at Lyric Opera, a rather dull “Tosca” two seasons ago and a shoot-’em-up Minnie in “La fanciulla del West” earlier this year. But it is Voigt’s Wagner and Richard Strauss that remain her bread-and-butter roles and, among today’s singers, in a class by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED &#160; Mahler composed “Das Lied von der Erde” after his mammoth Eighth Symphony and subtitled it “Eine Symphonie,” but given that Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner had all died after writing a Ninth Symphony, he superstitiously refused to place that ominous number on the work and felt that he had somehow cheated fate as a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Dennis Polkow The tradition of reciting the four gospel accounts of Christ’s passion and death during Holy Week goes back to the fourth century. By the thirteenth century, this was done in Gregorian chant and, over the centuries, settings gradually became elaborate, reflective of the musical styles of the day, culminating in the magnificent [...]]]></description>

We’ll never know for sure, but Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Mass in b minor” stands as the greatest Mass setting ever put to music and represents the last statement on sacred music from the composer who still reigns as [...]]]></description>
