#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalMexico Week 1
Mexico has four centuries of classical music to choose from. Here are my selections for the first week of #ClassicalMexico.
Joaquin Turina: Complete Piano Trios
Fresh Sound for Vivaldi Bassoon Concertos
Mauro Monguzzi is off to a good start with this volume. He plays with a rich, full sound. And his bassoon can nimbly dance up and down the instrument's range when needed.
Two Masterworks by Margaret Bonds
Recordings like this show how original Bonds was as a composer. And how important she should be in the tapestry of American classical music.

#ClassicaDay #ClassicalQuartet Week 4
April is the fourth month of the year. And so the Classics a Day team decided to make it quartet month. This April the challenge is to post classical works that require four musicians. String quartets are the most common grouping of four -- but there are others.
Kevin Gorman continues exciting new cycle
Gorman's performances are committed and sure. And that's a good thing. These sonatas are not easy to play.
Leipzig 1723 - Audition Cantatas Impress
Not many know that Bach wasn't the town council's first choice. Or even their second choice. And most -- including myself -- were unaware of the application requirements.
