Good evening all 

Live on the BPO Digital Concert Hall :

BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER - MURRAY PERAHIA conducting.

Franz Schubert - Sonata for piano four hands in C major D 812 »Grand Duo« (orch. Joseph Joachim)

the Grand Duo composed by Schubert as a sonata for piano four hands, performed in an orchestrated version by the great violinist, composer and friend of Brahms, Joseph Joachim, who detected in Schubert's original a "veiled symphony". At this concert the Berliner Philharmoniker and Murray Perahia offer a rare opportunity to hear this beautiful work.

And now I will play the composition which is the closest to my heart:

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No.9

[Rinaldo]

Had the privelege of visiting this guy today

[asin]B00A2PAMAG[/asin]
one of our leading advocates of classical music, a great piano player & a very funny writer as well. He celebrated his 90th birthday in November and while he's a fragile old man, the mind is still going strong. I loved it when he talked about Stravinsky and mentioned "that young lad Boulez".

Listening to the Debussy pieces now.. a clear, concise approach. Not much impressionism going on here but a riveting performance nonetheless.
