#ClassicsaDay #Classical1921

What better way to celebrate a new year than with a look back? In this case, the Classics a Day team decided to go back 100 years. For January 2021 the challenge is to post works that were completed in or recordings released in 1921.

Arnold Rosner Requiem -- Timeless

This is a masterwork by a still under-appreciated composer. And it's performed masterfully. Beautiful, and at times, breath-taking.

"L'Homme Arme" showcases Renaissance masters

If you're familiar with Renaissance music, then you've run across L'Homme Armé motets and masses before. But hearing a collection of them is revelatory. The tune yields up endless variety in the hands of these masters.

Eric Coates Orchestral Works, Vol. 2 continues to entertain

Conductor John Wood is a Coates scholar and edited some of these works for performance. He leads the BBC Philharmonic with a surety of purpose. Light classical music -- like comedy -- is hard. Wood makes it sound effortless.
