Gija Kancheli's Music Erupts with Elisaveta Blumina
This release presents some of Kancheli's smaller works. The centerpiece are selections from his 18 Miniatures for Violin and Piano. Also included are four works for chamber orchestra. All seem ready to burst at the seams.
Gregor Aichinger: Virginalia, 1607 - Ground-breaking
Excellent performances of ground-breaking music.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalHoliday Week 4 2023
The challenge is to post video performances of the works that fit the theme in your social media channels. As always, I shared selections I hadn't used before.
Arte Minima Presents Renaissance Music from Portugal
It's a sound I've not heard before. And it's music I've not heard before. So, win-win for me.
Peter Kolkay Delivers Compelling Bassoon Program
This is an album that should appeal to anyone. Not just those interested in contemporary music, or chamber music. But anyone who can appreciate skilled musicians performing music of quality.
A Tcherepnin Family Portrait in Music
The Michelangelo Quartet delivers some stellar performances. They have a real presence that demands active listening.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalHoliday Week 3 2023
The #ClassicsaDay team has made holiday music the December theme. The music shared doesn't necessarily have to be related to Christmas. It can be any classical work associated with either the sacred or secular activities of December (or even just weather).
Fresh Music on Christmas Morning
There may be some favorite carols here, but to me, it all sounds pretty fresh. This one will be in heavy rotation at the Graves' house this season.
A Minstrel’s Christmas — Timeless Performances by Alfred Deller
It's not exactly early music, definitely not pop or light classical. "A Minstrel's Christmas" is an album that interprets these classics in its own way.
