#ClassicsaDay #SchumannsCircle 2021 Week 1
The Classics a Day team honors Robert Schumann's birthday (June 8, 1810). During the month, you're encouraged to share works written by Schumann, his friends, his colleagues, his rivals -- and of course, his wife.
Respighi Works for Flute and Orchestra work for me
Those early works only exist in manuscript, and it's not clear if they were ever performed. I'm so glad they are now!
Ian Hobson launches new Moritz Moszkowski series
Ian Hobson is a champion of Moszkowski's music. His performances bring out the lyrical beauty of these works.
Roxanna Panufnik - Heartfelt chamber music
While the influences are many, the results are consistent. Panufnik refines her source material into something beautiful, and something that's uniquely her own. If you only know (and love) her choral music, "Heartfelt" is a must-have release.
Classical Interviews – Ben Trombetta
Classical Interviews – Ayn Balija
Charlottesville Symphony's Principal Violist and Associate Professor of Viola, Ayn Balija, spoke with WTJU about how she got into classical music, the viola, and the viola community.
#ClassicsaDay #APAHM Week 4
I limited myself to just posting Asian-American composers. And discovered a seemingly limitless number of composers to choose from -- both past and present.
Bruckner Chamber Music Worth a Listen
For many, Bruckner = symphonies. But this release tweaks that equation. Bruckner > just symphonies.
American Quintets - Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective Debut
An exceptional program, performed by first-rate musicians. Now that's how you do a debut recording!
