Concerti Fine Introductions to Radu Paladi
This release was my introduction to the music of Radu Paladi. Now I want to hear more.
WorldView Episode 44: Dora Pejačević
The forty-fourth episode of WorldView features four new composers, including Countess Maria Theodora Paulina Pejačević, an accomplished artist of Croatian descent. Remembered for writing the first modern symphony of Croatian music, Pejačević remains a towering musical figure in the Balkans—despite many of her works only having been published in the last half century.
ClassicsaDay #Classical1923 Week 1
For the month of January, the challenge is to post classical works associated with 1923. They can be pieces composed in that year, premiered in that year, or received their first recording in that year.
Bruno Walter Chamber Works Show Skill
Based on these works, I wonder how much greater his contribution would have been had he continued to compose.
Robert Fürstenthal Music Works on Its Own Terms
There's an honesty to Fürstenthal's compositions I really appreciate. He wasn't writing for the market, audiences, critics, or fellow academics. He was simply writing to express the music in his heart.
Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre: The Violin Sonatas of 1707
De La Guerre was an innovative composer who knew how to write a melody. As this release amply shows. Time to restore her to the pantheon of French composers -- where her contemporaries placed her.
WorldView Episode 43: Frédéric Chopin
Welcome to another episode of WorldView, here on charlottesvilleclassical.org! This episode returns to regular programming, and features one work by American composer Victor Herbert and another from Frédéric Chopin, a native of Poland.
#CLASSICSADAY #CLASSICALCHRISTMAS WEEK 5
December is a time of traditions. And the Classics a Day feed is no different. We continue our tradition of making Classical Christmas our December theme.
JOUNI SOMERO PREMIERES MORE SELIM PALMGREN GEMS
Jouni Somero continues to impress me with his phenomenal technique. Palmgren was a great pianist — and a good deal of his music was written for performers at his level. Somero is equal to the task.
