northie Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 I know I'm rarely to be seen round these parts, but I can't resist sharing a piece I was playing in this time last week. Britten's Violin concerto was new territory for me, for all I do enjoy his music. It is wonderful, and the final few minutes are magical. 2

Particularly when he was doing pizzicati behind the fingerboard - makes me wish I could see what was going on. Thanks, AC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryton 2

AC Benus Posted September 17, 2017 Author Posted September 17, 2017 @Lux Apollo I don't know anything about this composer (but I'm thinking you might). I've listened a few times, and as always, Plentev's performance is captivating. The poster of the vid did not mention the name of the orchestra, but they are also very good! Perhaps it's a Russian ensemble. Tsfasman - Jazz-Suita 2 1
AC Benus Posted September 18, 2017 Author Posted September 18, 2017 @Drew Espinosa Some Kreisler for your afternoon. Magical stuff 3 1
Popular Post Jsgo Posted September 18, 2017 Popular Post Posted September 18, 2017 Personally I have a love/hate relationship with this piece. It is quite amazing though 3 3
Parker Owens Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 @AC Benus, Thanks for letting us all take a ride in Drew's Kreisler. It was wonderful. 2
Parker Owens Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 @Jsgo, Thank you for posting this! I have neglected my listening for Chopin and his contemporaries this summer. This is a perfect antidote. 2

Parker Owens Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Can I offer this as one of my favorite recordings? Heifetz and Toscanini... 2
AC Benus Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 Two wistful, melancholy pieces for tonight 3 1
mogwhy Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 very nice. loved the 1st one and the art that went with it. the 2nd was nice, but not a favorite 1
Parker Owens Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 @AC Benus : Thank you for both of these. I was particularly drawn to Yea Though I Walk, and its exquisite choral harmonies. How did you know I would be a sucker for this one? It is most wonderful. 1
Azorf Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Hope I've done this right.... Karl Jenkins, I love 'The Armed Man' and this track is probably one of the best on that. However he is very much alive, so as I am heavily into electronic music I will add Isao Tomita and one of his many adaptations of classics. Edited September 29, 2017 by Azorf 3

Don't think we've had any Karl Jenkins before. The Armed Man is a hugely popular work in the UK, and this movement shows why. Thanks. 1
AC Benus Posted October 20, 2017 Author Posted October 20, 2017 @Lux Apollo Been missin' ya, buddy. I was listening to this today and thought you might like (or love ) it. Rachmaninoff, Op. 34: No. 14. Vocalise in E Minor, sung by Mera. 2 1

AC Benus Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I don't know if I posted this already, but two years before Emanuel Schikaneder and Mozart collaborated to bring The Magic Flute to the stage, the impresario did a project with one of the leading figures of Viennese music at the time, Paul Wranitzky. Here is the overture to his incredibly charming fairy tale opera, Oberon - King of the Elves, 1789 Edited November 2, 2017 by AC Benus 1
Solus Magus Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 So much eargasms in this thread. Wow! 1 1
