Classical Music for Aficionados
That’s good Jim, you deserve it.Here in North America we used to have Spring for 2-3 months , down now to 2-3 weeks at best. Seems to me that the pana thing is just showing that everything is related to everything . Mother nature seems fed up with the human race which has about killed her and it’s time for her to use what she has, the last card. I fear for the young humans, most of the older ones care not . |
frogman, I finally got a "puter that let me hear Wright . In my hears he is very lyrical which is Schubert all the way .He and Karl are a draw to me . I know that Valente is a great singer and has sung all kinds of classical to great result .Including chamber and all else. But for ME she is too much opera singer for Schubert. Elly is the darling of the original crowd , a plain beautiful women’s voice .I can see he on the Herrt. Benita would be a stretch for ME . |
Mozart Serenade for 13 Winds in B-flat major, K. 361 "Gran Partita" Orchestra of St. Luke's Sir Charles Mackerras Telarc 1994 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBjDdKdq_tQ&t=258s From The Notes: "The composition of the B-flat Serenade(K.361) coincided with Mozart's decision to leave his post with the Archbishop of Salzburg(Mozart injudiciously called his "slavery") and move to Vienna. The Serenade was apparently started in Munich late in 1780. The earliest public performance probably took place as part of a concert at Vienna's Burgtheater on March 23, 1784. Of the event, the playwright Johann Friedrich Schink wrote, "I have heard a piece for wind instruments by Herr Mozart today. Magnificent! It employed thirteen instruments, and at every instrument a master. The effect was Grand and Magnificent beyond description." -- Richard E. Rodda Mozart's biographer concluded that Mozart choose this music as the entertainment music at his own wedding reception on August 4, 1782. Cheers |
