I'll end the day with Yuja Wang in 2007, when she was 19, practising Mozart's Turkish March (Arkady Volodos' arrangement) along with her Carmen encore.
Have a good evening!
I didn't post opera in quite some time.
Natalie Dessay and Anne Sofie von Otter singing the Presentation of the Rose scene from Straussβs βDer Rosenkavalier.β Vienna State Opera, 1994.
For today's lunch break, Callum Au plays Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust". Not necessarily my usual post, but today I listened to anything from heavy metal to acid trance, and now it's time to slow down a bit.
That being said, I wish you all a great day!
For the Jazz lovers, I'll dedicate today's last post to Joe Pass playing Satin Doll. Great chemistry with Bob Magnusson (bass) and Joe Porcaro (drums).
Have a beautiful evening!
255 years ago today, Ludwig van Beethoven was born in the city of Bonn, Germany. Because the Symphony No. 9 premiered at the Theatre am KΓ€rntnertor in Vienna, on May 7th 1824, as a small homage, I post the finale of this symphony with director Riccardo Muti and the Philharmonic of Vienna.
I wish you all a beautiful day!
Today's goodbye and "wish I'd be there" moment is with Itzhak Perlman playing the third movement of Brahms' Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77, with The Philarmonia Orchestra of London and conducted by Lawrence Foster. (1978) πππ
And here is the YouTube link for the full concert.
Anne QueffeΜlec performing Marcello/Bach BWV 974, Adagio.
The Oboe Concerto in D minor, S D935, was composed by Alessandro Marcello (1673β1747), a Venetian noble who often published his works under the pseudonym Eterio Stinfalico. Bach, during his Weimar period (1708β1717), transcribed the oboe concerto for solo keyboard, creating a harpsichord arrangement known as BWV 974.
For the Jazz lovers, an excerpt from John Coltrane Quartet's βMy Favourite Thingsβ, Comblain-La-Tour, 1965.
For today's lunch break, I suggest this short video with the great cellist Sol Gabetta performing the Andante from Schubert's Piano Trio in E-flat.
Have a great day!
Good morning with Yuja Wang and Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2! β
