#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Week 3 2023
For the month of February, the Classics a Day team once again chose Black History Month as the theme. Composers of color have made significant contributions to classical music throughout history.
Genova & Dimitrov Excel with Reinecke Two Piano Works
It's a rich and varied program, and the Genova & Dimitrov Piano Duo keeps things moving.
Florence Price: Songs of the Oak Solidifies Reputation
John Jeter leads the ensemble in some spirited performances. I especially enjoyed the concert overtures and the dances.
Carl Friedrich Abel Cello Concertos Nice and Light
Bruno Delepelaire delivers some amiable performances. Style galante is about simplicity and elegance. Delepelaire plays with delicacy and finesse.
WorldView Episode 49: Adolphus Hailstork
Kaveli Aho Concertos Receive Outstanding Performances
Elina Vähälä is an exceptional performer. This is music that she's internalized. Her playing sounds more like a monologue than a series of notes.
Michael Hix adds to Christopher Graupner Catalog
Baritone Michael Hix presents four cantatas featuring the bass voice. Accompanying him is a small ensemble -- two violins, viola, cello, and harpsichord. These are intimate performances, and they work well.
