You can't go wrong with Emil Giles or Arrau performing Beethoven although Brendel is of course pre-eminent.IMO But my views are not necessarily ex-cathedra to say the least!

You are doing a grand job there Spacerl, it is very good for young children to listen to classical music.

Ruud, I love Brendel too, he is of course brilliant on Mozart, my friend and I listen to him whilst travelling in the car to work.
His playing is absolutely gorgeous.
I was unable to get the listening link you posted, but not to worry.
Would you like me to send you a CD (new) with Claudio Arrau playing LISZT
The pieces are:

Sonata in B minor

Benediction de Dieu dans la solitude

Zwei Konzertetuden

Vallee d'Obermann

My husband has an extensive collection and these pieces are duplicated.
You are most welcome to have it as a gift.
I am sure you will find it a real gem!

Some of you people will think I have taken leave of my senses, but right now I am listening to the music of Scott Joplin
(1868-1917) the composer of some wonderful ragtime music. This man's music was all but forgotten, for over 50 years, until the movie "The Sting" used for it's theme music a two step rag called "The Entertainer". It was finally acknowledged that Joplin's music was a great contribution to American music. Roy Eaton, the pianist in this recording, said that a Joplin rag is to America what a Chopin Mazurka is to Poland: the elevation of an indigenous form of expression into art of the highest standard. At any rate, putting all this aside, I like the music.....

to continue the American thread; I have been listening to Aaron Coplands Symphony No. 3.
Leonard Bernstein: New York Philharmonic.

Check your e-mail Ruud, I shall arrange for the CD to be sent early next week.
Enjoy!

Aloha from Hawaii,
This is my first transmission, so here goes!!
quite an impressive selection-ever listen to Henryk Gorecki or Max Bruch?
Aloha,
EGMONT

[Pastorali]

W.A. Mozart - Salzburger Divertimento #1 KV.136 Splendid!

[Pastorali]

Aloha to Hawai Egmont!
I don't know Gorecki, but Max Bruch is one of my favorites. I have to make some gardening right after, in company: Nigel Kennedy playing Bruch's VC#1, Mendelsson op.64 and a lovely Rondo by Schubert.
I'm not one who says one can only listen to the first Violin Concert by Bruch though

Ah, yes, Copland's 3rd symphony another fine work reflecting the American music scene. If you are not familiar with Roy Harris you might want to try his 3rd symphony. It is a jam packed melodic 18 minute one movement symphony that is made up of 5 sections.
