#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalA Week 3
The Classics a Day team noticed that August did. And so the challenge for August was set. During the month post music by composers whose last names begin with the letter "A."
Columbia Viva! Volume Two -- Personal Connections
Arias-Esguerra's personal connection to these composers takes his performance to the next level.
Frederick Septimus Kelly: Chamber Music
The liner notes hint that Toccata Classics may release at least a second volume of Kelly's music. I hope they do.
Handel Coronation Anthems get Royal Treatment
This is Handel at his most regal.
Sunday Opera Matinee – “The Bohemian Girl" August 20
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalA Week 2
There are actually quite a few. And I even found some whose first and last names began with A! Here are my posts for the second week of #ClassicalA of the #ClassicsaDay challenge.
Sunday Opera Matinee – “Artaserse" August 13
Orthodox Hymns of Ukraine a Timely Reissue
If you're a fan of Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil understand this. Ukrainian Hymns don't have the same sound, nor the same rumbling bass. What they do have is something very different and well worth preserving.
The Unknown Enescu, Volume Two is Worth Knowning
Sherban Lupu's playing is superb. It's technically spot-on. And it embodies the Romanian soul Enescu channeled into this music.
