One composer that I thoroughly enjoyed playing and listening to – and who has been a bit under-represented in my shares – is Rachmaninoff.
Concerto
Modern Variations on an Old Theme
Something ‘big’ today – but should it be something ‘heavy’ or something ‘light’.
A Magic Violinist
Continuing the scottish theme today…
The Winter Season
For today’s “full work” I was going to share Vivaldi’s “Winter” from the set of violin concerti that go by the title “The Four Seasons”. Then I changed my mind and decided to give you all four! 😁
My Favourite Piano Concerto?
This week’s “big piece” is a piano concerto – possibly my favourite piano concerto.
High Horn
I’ve been neglecting the horn players recently 😃
A Horn Memory
According to a post by the International Horn Society it seems that today is David Krehbiel’s birthday.
A Worthy Mention
Staying with my time in the Wessex Youth Orchestra the contemplative music for this Friday is the slow movement of the Grieg Piano Concerto which they played at the gala concert in 1980.
Better Than My Effort
Just noticed that yesterday was a milestone in my daily music posts – number 100! Today is also an auspicious day in terms of my Glasgow Schools reminiscing – the 16th is the only one that I have two different concerts to choose from.
A Cello Today
Today my mind goes back to Dunoon in 1971. Castle Toward was a marvellous venue for the course.
