Re: Classical Music.
Yeah I heard Bream on his last US tour, he was about 80. Slightly rusty by then.

Re: Classical Music.
Vivaldi wrote hundreds of concertos but only two for trumpet. Most of his concertos were passed on to clients all over Europe or his monthly quota to an orphanage for girls. Girls did not play trumpet, only bassoon and oboe and an early clarinet. Also, trumpets were more of a guild job in town. The client is unknown.

Re: Classical Music.
Ever come across the violoncello da spalls (cello of the arm) before?
I enjoyed the instrument's robust, earthy tone.

Re: Classical Music.
The robust tone might have something to do with it being recorded in a repurposed gasometer, 53.8 metres in diameter and 14.5 in height.Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 10:14 pmEver come across the violoncello da spalls (cello of the arm) before?

The acoustics of that giant steel drum beefs the sound up even more so than a tiled bathroom that can make one's feeble voice sound like Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's or Diana Damrau's.
As for this particular performance, I found it somewhat stodgy. Perhaps Sergey Malov was determined to play the suite exactly as written down in the score. This is not what Bach, and any other composers of the baroque period meant performers to do.

Re: Classical Music.
It's interesting what one takes from these things isn't it(?) I found this rendition nuanced and dynamic with it's freer interpretation of phrasing and colour. I went to a Yo-Yo Ma version straight after and, by comparison, found that a bit staid and formal; even rather stolid in places. Ma is technically brilliant of course, but a bit dry despite the performative emotionalism he goes for. For these suites I invariably lean towards the less overtly romantic sound of the Baroque cello and a more direct approach to the notes on the page.
(performance starts @ c.4m)

Re: Classical Music.
Murdering music.
The South Korean boy just wanted to have some fun two.
Then a massacre ensued as others joined in. Among them were Laura Lāce of Riga, Latvia
and French born Tina Setkic.
I quite enjoy listening to all of them. Them, the Swingle Singers, Jacques Loussier, Wendy Carlos, Leopold Stokowski and any others who added twists to original scores.

Re: Classical Music.
My favorite 4 Season recordings are this set with Podger
and just slightly better, on modern violin, Jensen. You have to jump to the end for the 3rd movement
That youtube has a weird hollow sound. It's not on the CD.

Another one of these. The video shows the striking contrast of when she is solo, with just cello backing, and when multiple strings play

Re: Classical Music.
I was looking at some symphonists to compare to Sibelius, whose major works I've pretty much memorized as far as structure and what comes next. I really don't care for the majority of symphonic pieces by Haydn (how many times do you write pom po dom?) and Mozart except for one and then his early short pieces titled symphonies.
Found a thing I saved on my hard drive years ago, Mendelssohn 99. It was a download for a couple of bucks. I prefer this to Brahms and Tchaikovsky. All but Symphony 1 are good. Even the violin concerto is pretty good, and I don't like most violin concertos past the baroque.

Re: Classical Music.
What about Bruckner? Symphonies are big and blousey in the Sibelius vein.

No 5 is a good place to start.
