WorldView Episode 51: John Corigliano
#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Week 4
And there's a lot of great music still awaiting discovery. Here are my posts for #ClassicaDay for the fourth and final week of #BlackHistoryMonth.
Fretwork Delivers with Matthew Locke's Little Consort
As performed by Fretwork, these suites have a distinctly English character. And that's part of their charm. I'm sorry I missed volume one. I'll add that to my want list. Don't miss this one.
Johann Kuhnau Cycle Now Complete
The entire collection is worth acquiring -- especially if you're interested in the high Baroque. At the very least, this volume is worthwhile because of the variety of materials.
Clarke and Busch Piano Music - Quality not Quantity
Simon Callaghan handles both styles with equal aplomb. He has the technique to play Busch's music with accuracy and expressiveness. He adopts an even more lyrical tone with Clarke's works.
WorldView Episode 50: Elisabeth Lutyens & Joshua Uzoigwe
Welcome to another episode of WorldView, and one of the first to feature music written for the screen! This hour begins with Elisabeth Lutyens’ title music from the 1965 film “The Skull”. Episode fifty of WorldView also features a work by Nigerian artist Joshua Uzoigwe, known for both his compositions and work as an ethnomusicologist.
#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth Week 3 2023
For the month of February, the Classics a Day team once again chose Black History Month as the theme. Composers of color have made significant contributions to classical music throughout history.
Genova & Dimitrov Excel with Reinecke Two Piano Works
It's a rich and varied program, and the Genova & Dimitrov Piano Duo keeps things moving.
Florence Price: Songs of the Oak Solidifies Reputation
John Jeter leads the ensemble in some spirited performances. I especially enjoyed the concert overtures and the dances.
