Vivaldi in Blue - Venetian Diary

http://classicalcompass.blogspot.hu/2017/04/vivaldi-in-blue-venetian-diary.html

The famous Blue Vivaldi disc.
What a strange language you do have - the title can not be translated normally because you might think 'sad' or something similar.
But it's simply blue, blue as a colour only nothing more...

There is a great lesson that we all can learn from Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto Number 1: http://myfavoriteclassical.com/tchaikovskys-piano-concerto-no-1/

Last time, I discussed how Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto Number 1 was rejected by Tchaikovsky's mentor, the best pianist in Russia, Nikolai Rubenstein, – who termed this concerto "pathetic," among other insults. But after the concerto's successful premier in Boston, Rubenstein changed his mind and actually conducted its premier in Moscow ...

In the past I shared with you my conflicted thoughts on anti-Semitic German composer Richard Wagner. To balance things out, today I want to point you to a piece by the Austrian Jewish composer Gustav Mahler, whose music I learned to love only recently. I had tried to listen to him in the past and quite simply did not get his music until I heard "Adagietto" from his Symphony Number 5 – conducted by Valery Gergiev.

A good friend asked me if I thought Tchaikovsky was overrated or underappreciated. A few years ago I probably would have said overrated; now I say both.

How To Build A Top Quality Classical Music Library: The Second $100

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenslaurson/2017/06/02/how-to-build-a-top-quality-classical-music-library-the-second-100/

QuoteBack in February of 2013, George Pieler and I wrote a column here on Forbes.com
("Two Cents About Classical Music For $100") on some of the market- and technology-
changes that affect this sneakily growing, more-important-than-you-think niche in
21st century entertainment: classical music. We followed this up with an actual list,
"How To Build A Top Quality Classical Music Library For $100" – which refers back
to a 2011 post on Tyler Cowen's "Marginal Revolution". Here's the sequel.

The complete list on Amazon on CDs – and as mp3s/streaming.

Am less recommending having a look at the Swedish composer Ralph Lundsten´s website for its quality, than for it being ... unusual:

Someone has been uploading classical music related interviews to this youtube channel. A guy who hosted a program in NYC named David Dubal is in many of the programs. I wondered if he himself uploaded this stuff -- really dug the ones he did with Charles Rosen.

Stumbled on to what seems to be the blog for Lynn Rene Bayley, if you're wondering where she went after (apparently) leaving Fanfare.
