#ClassicsaDay Classical1924 Week 3
For the first month of the new year, the Classics a Day team looks back a century. So the challenge for January 2024 is to post performances of classical works that were either composed, premiered, or first recorded in 1924.
Tippett Quartet Excel with Erich Korngold
The Tippett Quartet plays with precision and sensitivity. When Korngold’s music becomes lyrical, the quartet’s playing sings. When the music becomes thorny, the quartet embraces the dissonance.
The Silver Screen Soundtrack Hour: Korngold and the Sound of the Swashbuckler
Piano Protagonists - a triumph for Orion Weiss
This is a great opportunity to hear some finely crafted and inspired music and music-making.
#ClassicsaDay #Classical1921 Week 2
For January 2021 the challenge is to post works that were completed in or recordings released in 1921. It turns out there was quite a lot going on that year.
