TheAuthority Posted October 24, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2017 On the subject of piano work this is my favorite concerto and favorite performance. Brahms 2nd is essentially a symphony (it even has 4 movements) with piano obligato. Zimmerman at his finest, Vienna Phil during a glorious era and Bernstein on the podium. Pretty much unbeatable. It was available on laserdisc at one point! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Bohuslav Martinu - 'Works Inspired By Jazz And Sport' If you liked the Shostakovich Jazz album you might like this? It's an even more mixed bag. Fun chamber pieces, symphony and promenade orchestra material and a composition dedicated to a US WWII fighter plane. Not quite the right version, but here's a little idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted January 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2018 Also posted in the documentaries thread but thought I'd share here also. I watched this as a teenager and it helped me fall in love with classical music & New York. I feel very lucky that a lot of the guys I work with now, worked with many of the people in these recording sessions. Including the great lead trumpet player from this doc Wilmer Wise who sadly passed away 2 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He busks regularly in York. Not really my sort of thing, but undoubtedly impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Philip Glass is playing in London at the South Bank in May 2019, if he's still with us then at 82? £20 to see the perhaps most famous classical composer of our time? It's the Bowie stuff, or I'd have tix already. Edited February 5, 2018 by Xann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the star soloist is a chap called James McVinnie, so it looks like Phil with the baton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 L'Arte Dell' Arco - 'Le Quattro Stagioni' Dresden Version Vivaldi and Guido. 'The Four Seasons' with winds - DSD SACD Swapping strings for recorders sounds like a shite plan on paper. It's beautifully played. Unsure whether I've got a better produced album? There's loads of versions of the 'Four Seasons', largely thanks to Nigel Kennedy. Not too in to the piece really. Years of advertising and general over exposure did that. The first couple of bars triggers an involuntary movement towards the mute button. Yet this is :O Listened to it all the way through 5/6 times this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
