Classical Music for Aficionados
Very nice piano playing, but bizarre interpretation of the music. Well, as you said, they are French, after all. A Stereo Review recommendation. I can still see the page. Now, I will have to look for Martha Argerich. There is always something.(Gilda Radner) Trust me, Black folks are not, and were never, upset over P&B. On occasion, they feel the need to 'act' like they are upset. Cheers |
Speer had an lQ of about 18O , right up with us . What Berlin Brigade did was rotate every Infantry Co . one Platoon a week. I just happen to be there . C/3/6th Infantry . Best unit I ever was in . Only one that ever had real discipline . .My friends in the East Anglican Reg. told me the Russians didn’t hurt them but their food suck when the Soviets were on .Brits always had better Indtel . |
More by the great Harold Wright. One of Schubert’s (the other Schubert ☺️) last works and one of the the most charming chamber works in the literature. IMO, clarinet playing does not get better than this. Soprano Benita Valente is superb. Beautiful example of how to strike the right balance between “how are we doing” and “how am I doing. Definitive performance by most accounts: https://youtu.be/_Krrplpuxrw |
Franz Joseph Haydn: SYMPHONIES 68 & 93-104 "LONDON" Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra -- Nikolaus Harnoncourt Warner Classics 5CD Box Symphony No.68 in B flat major : I Vivace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwfbGWkbJmU Symphony No.68 in B flat major : IV Finale - Presto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1reJbTg06us From the Notes: "London at the end of the eighteenth century was indisputably the musical capital of Europe, Parisian musical life having collapsed in the wake of the French Revolution. Music publishing and instrument making were flourishing in London, and above all there was already an unusually well developed and diverse musical life --- public, open to everyone and governed by the rules of a free market." Works every time. Cheers |
