Stephen Hough - THE PIANO ALBUM

[mozartsneighbor]

Brahms said the last 2 movements of the op. 111 were inspired by an afternoon in the Prater -- where I shall spend my own afternoon tomorrow.

Truth-squadding Brahms??

Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 (Sinopoli/Staatskapelle Dresden)

[mozartsneighbor]

Truth-squadding Brahms?? 

The only difference is that the afternoon that inspired Brahms in 1890 was a mild and sunny one in May.  Mine will be a cloudy and crappy one in November. And, of course, no inspired music will come out of mine... but I will get to finally ride that wheel (ever seen The Third Man?)

Hope you won't be needing any penicillin!

I have the penicillin black market in the Russian sector cornered, buster!
My favorite line in the movie comes from Orson Wells in the wheel scene:
"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Giuseppe Martucci.

Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor.
Francesco Caramiello, Piano.
Recorded in 1989.

This D minor is worth your time, very romantic but never over the top, very well played and recorded.

[Opus106]

Anton Stephanovich
Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 32
Vovka Ashkenazy (piano), Christine Jackson (cello), Richard Stamper (violin)

First time listening to this composer.

Bernard Foccroulle, plays on organ of Ludgeri Church in Norden (Ricercar)

[bhodges]

I should buy it - a couple of days ago it was even discounted at the local "Kruidvat" store. The poor girls at the shop have no clue what it is about ( Kruidvat sells mainly beauty products, pet food, candy and washing powder...) and eye classical Cd's with horror...

It is a very funny line, agreed.....but is it fair on the Swiss?
