Peter Cigleris performs Ruth Gipps chamber works
Gipps wrote music to her own high standards, regardless of fashion. Listening to these compositions a half-century later, I think it was the right decision.
Engaging performances of Barbara Strozzi by Aurata Fonte
Recommended to any lover of the Italian Baroque or early music in general.
Classical Interviews – Brian Simalchik
Local composer Brian Simalchik talks about the role that notation plays in defining and perpetuating classical music as well as some of the misconceptions and perceived limitations of classical music as a genre.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSummer Week 3, 2021
The idea is to post performances from summer festivals, either past or present. Some of these events have been going on for decades (if not centuries) so there's a lot to choose from.
Hendrik Andriessen Orchestral Music a Welcome Reissue
If you're not familiar with this patriarch of Dutch music, this is the release to start with. It's some of Andriessen's best compositions.
Enjoy The Silver Screen Soundtrack Hour on MixCloud
Listen to archived editions of The Silver Screen Soundtrack Hour on the Charlottesville Classical MixCloud account
20th Century Feminine 100% Good
The performances are well-recorded, with a nice balance between the violin and piano. But then, I wouldn't expect anything less from the Haenssler Classic release
Filippo Sauli Mandolin Partitas Real Baroque Gems
A fascinating release, and a nice alternative to all those Vivaldi mandolin concerto recordings.
Paciorkiewicz Violin Concertos Display Fine Craftsmanship
Paciorkiewicz's music balances tradition and modernism. It's hyperchromatic, mercurial, and yet effectively delivers its emotional content time and again.
