#ClassicsaDay #Classical1923 Week 3
For the month of January, the challenge is to post classical works associated with 1923. They can be pieces composed in that year, premiered in that year, or received their first recording in that year.
Alexander Markov Excels with Vieuxtemps Violin Works
Markov plays with a clear, singing tone. Double stops are carefully voiced. Lightning-fast runs outline melodic arcs. Extremely high notes aren't there for show -- they're the logical destination of the phrase.
Rune Most Brings Sensitivity to CPE Bach Concertos

Kleinknecht Trio Sonatas Epitomize Style Galant
The Ensemble La Contonnade performs with warmth and sensitivity. Their relaxed interpretations seem spot on. This was music for an evening's entertainment. And entertain it does.
