After Beethoven's Grand Missa and a whole bunch of his Symphonies, It's going to be *chamberly* again tonight.
Beethoven's. Op.1/2, Op.11 & Op.17 transcribed by Carl Khym for String Quintet. Really nice indeed! It is the Metamorphosis Quintet and I breaked my rules I'm flexibly...

[Gurn Blanston]

P.,
Rules are meant to be broken, especially those that apply to music. Did not Beethoven say something like "I did it, therefore it must be right"? I know Amalie will come tell us exactly what it was, my fragile memory has deserted, yet the sentiment expressed remains.
And in that vein, I am listening to B, the Bagatelle in A for Fortepiano Andante cantabile - Op 119 #4 - on his own Broadwood - Andras Schiff. Ahhh...

Gossec symphonies, really delightful music from this extraordinary man who lived to be 95, the longest of all symphonists (1734-1829).

Also Eliot Gardiner's exhuberant Beethoven 4th.

Today, back to the roots with some Violin Concertos, right now: Paganini VC#1...that always makes a lot of fun! Also on my card today: Bach, Vivaldi, Bruch and at last, why not op.61, that beats everything!

[Tegan]

Beethoven's 4th symphony, conducted by Karl Bohm. I love this piece!

P.
Ah yes, we return to our roots! As a safe rule, one can always listen to VC,s you just can't go wrong!
For me, it is a Haydn Symphony in G major, #92 "Oxford" - Vienna PO/Bernstein - Boy, those Viennese can sure play Haydn!

I also can't go wrong with this: Rondo in A for Violin and Strings, D438 my first Schubert that I knew and in this sense something special for me. I'm too sentimental
And starting soon on TV: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Mass in C KV 427 I turn it up!

[Andrea]

On this Penticostal Sunday I am watching a performance of Mozart's "Great Mass in C minor, K.427" from a concerthall in Baden-Baden, Germany. I especially love the "Kyrie" from this mass.

[Gurn Blanston]

It is Sunday AM, thus to celebrate! Today, it will be the Symphony in d minor - Op 125 of Beethoven. Perfect, I think, for a Sunday. And this time it is the Vienna Philharmonic / Bernstein.

On this sunny Sunday morning it is JS Bach's Orchestral Suites 2 and 3. Music to make your spirits rise.

[Pastorali]

The probably greatest Symphony, but this time transcribed for Piano by Franz Liszt.

[Amalie]

HANDEL'S wonderful Opera, Xerxes.


ELGAR - The Dream of Gerontius
sung by Janet Baker
with the London Symphony Orchestra.

And a glass or two of wine,
A most enjoyable evening!
