#ClassicsaDay #ForgottenComposers Week 1
Here are my posts from the first week of #ForgottenComposers. I'll leave it to you to judge if they deserve to remain so.
Machaut - Remede de Fortune new triumph for Blue Heron
Blue Heron is still one of the finest vocal ensembles around, and they didn't disappoint. The music was sung with pure, clear tones of incredible expressive beauty. Les Délices provided subtle accompaniment, supporting the vocalists without detracting from them.
Joachim Raff Piano Four-Hands Sonatas impress
Recommended not just for fans of Joachim Raff,. These are great selections for anyone who enjoys late 19th Century piano music.
Vincenzo and Michelangelo Galilei -- Musiche per liuto
“Highly recommended to anyone curious about the origins of the Baroque.”
WorldView Episode 36: Happy Halloween!
#ClassicsaDay #FallBreak Week 4
Everyone's enjoying a fall break. For some of us, it will be a break from posting. For me, I'm just going to post some of my favorite classical works. After all, this is the music I'd want to enjoy on break!
Nikolay Shugaev Presents Varied Cello Works Program
Nikolay Shugaev is the principal cellist for all three works. He plays with a rich, singing tone. Sugaev adapts his playing to the style of the composer, emphasizing their differences.
Energetic Performances Kick Off Jan Novák Orchestral Series
The Ensemble Opera Diversa, led by Gabriela Tardonová is a Czech ensemble. All of the soloists are native to the Czech Republic. And I think that’s part of what makes this recording so successful.
Philharmonisches Orchester Bremerhaven Deliver with Emilie Mayer Symphonies
Marc Niemann leads the Philharmisches Orchester Bremerhaven in some informed performances. His conducting illuminates the structure of Mayer's compositions.
