SUNDAY OPERA MATINEE – “ARABELLA” JULY 9
#ClassicsaDay #NorthAmClassics Week 1
Both countries in North America celebrate their independence in July. To mark this event, the Classics a Day team challenge is to post video performances of music by both Canadian and American composers.
Edward German's Music Merrie as Ever
German's style embraces the folk traditions of England. The shapes of the melodies sound distinctively English -- even when not quoting folk songs. Like Gilbert and Sullivan, it's upbeat and good-natured. This is music for entertainment, and of exceptional quality.
Georg Goltermann's Music Receives Sympathetic Performances
Howard Griffiths and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra seem invested in these works. Griffiths brings out the orchestra's skill, making this music comes alive.
Derek B. Scott: Orchestral Music Vol. 2 Entertains
The Liepāja Symphony Orchestra direct by Paul Mann deliver some fine performances. This music isn't deathly serious. Mann and the orchestra get it, and their interpretation help us get it, too.
