acquired a new impetus by a beautiful musical afternoon spent with Roberto Mastrosimone, I dedicate to him (and all those who have the pleasure of reading these lines) musical entertainment year-end, which draws its main inspiration from the ideas that emerged during of friendly chatter made the other day.
remain at more serious issues, I suggest listening to the first movement "Andante" from the Ninth Symphony in D major by Gustav Mahler, in an interpretation that I found extremely interesting and meaningful, especially when we compared the performance of Eschenbach We dedicated the other day. This is a "live" recordings dating back to March of 1971, output only a few years ago thanks to the BBC's editorial, which held a deep archive of live performances, some of impressive artistic level and for the most part been followed trade. Operation highly commendable, especially when he takes the testimony of a composer-conductor, virtually absent from the recording studios: "our" Bruno Maderna, here on the podium of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Time taken, such as those of Eschenbach, but supported by a tension and a treatment that leads to a result of interpretation that critics have rightly defined by Anglo-Saxon " hair-rising."
more frivolous - and in line with the festive atmosphere - the second point, a "Sheherazade" a little out of the big jet set around the record but excellent, as well as excellent value for money. After two tastes useful for me to document my personal fondness for percussion effettacci (will not be difficult to identify which of these tools I am referring in this case), I propose that the entire fourth movement to foster a more informed opinion. I leave to willing to guess the performers ...
There is no self-respecting New Year Strauss waltz.
And then, here it is:
Okay, now here's the Strauss "owner". To recall a conductor who died recently, perhaps in part by the public away from "salons" but close to the hearts of the people, behold the Son of Johann Strauss' Kaiser-Walzer "in the interpretation of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra conducted by Erich Kunzel.
HAPPY 2011!
