Miro Quartet Almost Makes It Home
I like most of the music choices, and how they're presented. And I like the way they're all performed.
#ClassicsaDay #NorthAmClassics Week 1 2024
The #ClassicsaDay challenge for July is to post music by Canadian and American composers. Both countries have created their own forms of classical music, independent of Europe's.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSextet Week 4
June is the sixth month. It seemed a good time to make sextets the #ClassicsaDay monthly theme.
Buffalo Philharmonic Perform Alum Lukas Foss
The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra performs to its usual high standards. JoAnn Faletta's direction is both insightful and illuminating.
Stephen Dodgson: Canticle of the Sun
Well-crafted music sung by a top-notch ensemble. If you're a fan of choral music, this belongs in your collection.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSextet Week 3
The most common sextet is a doubled string trio. That is, two violins, two violas, and two cellos. But other combinations of instruments are possible. And beginning in the 20th Century just about every type of combination has been explored.
The Highly Personal Preludes and Fugues of Matt Dibble
Dibble chose wisely. Freddy Kempf delivers 24 superb performances. He easily adapts to the style of each piece.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSextet Week 2
June is the sixth month. It seemed a good time to make sextets the #ClassicsaDay monthly theme.
Jakob Lindberg Thoroughly Masters Theorbo Solos
Lindberg's playing is a perfect blend of technical ability and tasteful musicianship. He skillfully weaves together Visée's polyphony, keeping all the lines balanced.
