Koussevitzky@150: Koussevitzky In His Own Words
Koussevitzky@150 - Episode One features Koussevitzky in his own words.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSextet Week 1
June is the sixth month. It seemed a good time to make sextets the #ClassicsaDay monthly theme.
#ClassicsaDay #FallConcert Week 3
There's a lot of great music-making going on. Let's share it all!
#ClassicsaDay #Summerof78s Week 4
The Classics a Day team declares July the Summer of 78. Or rather, the summer of 78s. For July, post recordings that were originally issued on 78 rpm discs.
Violin Concertos by Johannes Brahms; Amanda Maier; Julius Rontgen
Bottom line: don't get this for the Brahms. Do get this release for the Rontgen, and more especially for the Maier. It's worth it.
#ClassicsaDay #November11 Week 3
The challenge is to post works that are numbered 11 in some fashion, either an opus number, a series number, or even a suite number.
#ClassicsaDay #SchumannsCircle
The theme for June is Schumann and his circle. During the month, you're encouraged to share works written by Schumann, his friends, his colleagues, his rivals -- and of course, his wife.
#ClassicsaDay #SchumannsCircle 2021 Week 1
The Classics a Day team honors Robert Schumann's birthday (June 8, 1810). During the month, you're encouraged to share works written by Schumann, his friends, his colleagues, his rivals -- and of course, his wife.
#ClassicsaDay #Stokowski Week 1
To share all of Stokowski's recordings and arrangements would take far longer than a month. But that means there's quite a lot to choose from for April!
