Baroque Bohemia, Vol. 2

This excellent series is dedicated to Classical-era composers from the Czech lands, so marketing has chosen alliteration over historical accuracy here.  The Dussek here is Franz Xavier (1731-1799).

That isn't the classic version for violin and orchestra, but an arrangement for violin and choir; quite an interesting experiment.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony 6 'Pastoral'

BIS

On the beaten track for a change. Not sure which recording, or by whom, but this was one of the earliest symphonies that I heard and purchased. Vanska seems a good enough choice, this evening.

[Kalevala]

I decided to buy the CD after enjoying the Qobuz version. The sonic differences among the 5 different harpsichords is more obvious in the CD version. Chesky Records always provides excellent sound. Fun fact: I'm trying to learn K.30 "The Cat's Fugue" in a guitar transcription in honor of my recently deceased kitty Zeus. Lordy, I hope it's easier to play on a keyboard instrument!

May Hera inspire and help you.

Two major new works for guitar and several wonderful miniatures. Brilliant playing and very good sound.

Such a great disc!

Very much on the coat-tails of @Madiel's recent Vivaldi marathon, I decided to take a dip into his extensive repertoire with this today. I like Chauvin's way, a lovely sense of intricacy in his playing.

Eduard Tubin (1905–1982): Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in D major (1941–42)


The Estonian composer Eduard Tubin composed his Violin Concerto No. 1 between 6 and 23 December 1941 for his friend, the violinist Evald Turgan (1909–1961), and presented the concerto to him as a Christmas gift. The world premiere then took place in Tallinn in October 1942.

But one thing must be added: this expressive concerto, based on Baltic folk melodies, was written in the midst of the battle for the Baltic states. In June 1940, the Soviets occupied Estonia; by August 1941, the Nazis had captured Tallinn and, by bombing the city, drove the Soviet fleet out of Tallinn harbour. There were thousands of deaths. Among the dead were also musicians and acquaintances of Tubin. And yet, in December 1942, Tubin composed one of the most beautiful concertos to emerge during the Second World War.
