Prokofiev: 10 pieces from Romeo and Juliet

The scene with the mandolines is a delicious thing though it may be not in that collection.

[Michael]

Do you not guess? Well, of course you know, but for the benefit of others: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).

If it's Beethoven, I almost always leave out his name when I post whatever I'm listening to .... and today it's a selection of piano variations. The Salieri set is a particular favourite of mine - a skeletal theme (of which B himself wrote many) is transformed into comedy, romance and drama.

[Sorrano]

The scene with the mandolines is a delicious thing though it may be not in that collection.

This was on the radio this morning, so I am not sure which pieces are in the set. It was a piano version, so that was fun to listen to.

[Sorrano]

This morning:

Wunderer: Laendler

Schumann: Konzertschtuck

Mozart: Rondo for piano and orchestra in D

[Enrique]

Bach, J.S.:

This morning:

Carl Stamitz Piano concerto

[Roehre]

Today:

Turnage:
Canon Fever (2012)
On the latest BBC MM CD.
IMO better performance than at the Proms, but nevertheless a lightweight Turnage.

Dvorak:
Carnival overture opus 92
Also on the latest BBC MM CD.
High speed, low impact performance without much space to breathe naturally.
A performance to avoid IMO.
Further sign of CFMification of BBC MM CDs?

Hurlebusch:
Concerto for violin, 2 oboes, strings and b.c. in a (1730s)
