This is suddenly getting notes again. What’s up?
I figure since people are seeing it again I should explain why I’m missing several conductors that really belong in this set (Rattle, Jansons, etc). I chose which people to use based solely on who I had good video of, and I wanted 6 for the sake of prettiness.

I’m bored……
Earl Wild playing Rachmaninoff 2nd Piano Concerto
Jascha Horenstein & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
(This version has a very special place in my heart. Personally, I think nobody except Rachmaninoff himself could exceed it—and that’s only the first movement.)

 | If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Dmitri Shostakovich! I am a shy, nervous, unassuming, fidgety, and stuttery little person who began composing the same year I started music lessons of any sort. I wrote the first of my fifteen symphonies at age 18, and my second opera, "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District," when I was only 26. Unfortunately, Stalin hated the opera, and put me on the Enemy Of The People List for life. I nevertheless kept composing the works I wanted to write in private; some of my vocal cycles and 15 string quartets mock the Soviet System in notes. And I somehow was NOT killed in the process! And Harry Potter(c) stole my glasses and broke them! http://www.doppelgriff.com/russian/dsch.html |
