This channel is dedicated to classical music. My aim is to attract people, young or old, to this sublime music. You will find many "best of" composer compilations, symphonies, concertos and more. Please check the description of each video for more information.
PLEASE NOTE: I always credit the performers if I am aware of who they are. I also time-stamp each piece or movement (when necessary). This channel is NOT monetised, and I do NOT claim ownership or rights to anything. Suggestions are welcome.
The English Renaissance is a topic that is very little exposed here in Latin America, and in Brazil in particular; so that coming into contact with the work of Thomas Tallis is a very pleasant surprise... His work is extremely melodic and delicious to listen to. Without a doubt, a very useful novelty for me.
Excellent playing of his own compositions: Grieg's performance of the 2 movements from his sonata are far more superior than that of Einar Steen-Nøkleberg who has not got a grip on the style of Grieg!!
I have been present within Merton College chapel during recordings of this music by Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars. It is overwhelming to the senses.
Рахманинов был гением своего времени и до сих пор им остаётся, музыка уносит куда то высоко, мысли улетают вместе с музыкой, остаётся только насладиться мелодией
Well, I'm Russian and frankly speaking I'm infinitely proud that Prokofiev was my compatriot. Probably, the best composer of the XX century, as well as Rachmaninoff, Richard Strauss, George Gershwin, Erich Korngold, Ennio Morricone etc. But among of all these Prokofiev should be admitted as the most original, inventive, superordinary...
This appears to be the first recording from the 1970s, and it remains my favorite. I used to wonder why the violins <<sometimes>> sounded like they were badly recorded; they sounded thin as if I was hearing only a couple of stands. Much later, when I looked at the score, I realized that the string parts are sometimes subdivided into four parts per section! That was the effect Debussy wanted, apparently. There's a lot of oboe, naturally, and John Mack does a great job as usual. Thanks for posting this, it's in interesting contrast to the later DG release with the same artists.
