The 3rd and last disc of this great of music by this Dutch composer, who was a pupil of Scheidemann and ended up in Hamburg. He lived nearly up to 100 years old! ??? In 1701 Bach walked from Lüneburg to Hamburg to hear the then 78 years old man play.

yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

I could be misremembering, but I think this is the second album cover I have seen, to utilize this canvas from the MFA Boston.

Thumbs up, Henk! Love Villa-Lobos.

Introduction to the Choros, really beautiful music. Rest of disc 1 as well, need to listen to the main work Choros no. 12 though.

New acquisition. Recommended by two GMG members. And they were spot on.
I am very happy with these concertos, CD 1.

Now:



Listening to Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra, FP 61. Such a wonderful work and performance. This Poulenc set is definitely some of Dutoit's best conducting.

Anybody familiar with Gerald, Lord Berners? I'm reading a fun, gossipy book about his life and his glittery social circle (including Igor Stravinsky, Salvador Dali, Diaghilev, Wallis Simpson, Thomas Beecham, Gertrude Stein, John Betjeman, all the Mitford sisters, Cecil Beaton, etc.) and the author has a high opinion of Berners' skill as a composer. It was one of the many artistic pursuits his wealth enabled him to dabble in. Stravinsky reportedly enjoyed his music, Constant Lambert conducted premieres, and (most notably) Berners was commissioned by Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes.

Anyway, Marco Polo has a ton of his stuff so this morning I'm giving Lord Berners a try.
