I'm the kind of person that really prefers the 2nd movement in most pieces of work. #Music #ClassicalMusic #Scheherazade #Tchaikovsky

A Child of Our Time by Michael Tippett, Sir Colin Davis, London Symphony Chorus, London Symphony Orchestra, released in 2008 on LSO Live. A Child of Our Time is a secular oratorio by the British composer Michael Tippett, who also wrote the libretto. Composed between 1939 and 1941, it was first performed at the Adelphi Theatre, London, on 19 March 1944. The work was inspired by events that profoundly affected Tippett: the assassination of a German diplomat by a young Jewish refugee in 1938, and the Nazi government's reaction to the assassination which was in the form of a violent pogrom against Germany's Jewish population: Kristallnacht. Tippett's oratorio deals with these incidents in the context of the experiences of all oppressed people, and it carries a strongly pacifistic message of ultimate understanding and reconciliation. - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS3HpUFUiWs&list=RDbS3HpUFUiWs&start_radio=1 #MichaelTippett #WW2 #ClassicalMusic #ColinDavis #LSO #Music #Kristallnacht #Pacifism

Was looking for something else on Youtube really. :D This is my husband playing fortepiano. Way back, it's from his master's exam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrMMLOoR8Y8 #fortepiano #piano #classicalmusic #music

After one minute of listening to this, I know it's catnip to me. I'm loath to make comparisons to other composers because it's lazy. But if you like Philip Glass...

And a search of my collection indicates I already have this album which pairs Otte and Cage. This was my favourite music from 2022. How did I forget this. Memory like a sieve. @classicalmusic@fedigroups.social #ClassicalMusic https://kristinescholz.bandcamp.com/album/scholz-plays-otte-and-cage

Sang a solo in a new to me church yesterday morning. Still rather nervous about singing solo! It went pretty well, more or less what I'm capable of doing right now. To sing better I'll have to keep practising! Which means I'm quite happy about it. :) Church services nowadays are conveniently streamed so if anyone's curious, you can still hear it. At about 40:50, Bringt her dem Herren by Schütz. Harpsichordists name is Alice van Eldik, she's a choir mate of mine (how all this came about). https://kerkdienstgemist.nl/stations/2267/events/recording/177658740002267 #churchmusic #singing #classicalmusic #musicians

Phew, playing modern bassoon after a longish break is real workout for my belly muscles! All the other instruments I play have less resistance, though then again they demand other things from the breathing apparatus. #music #bassoon #classicalmusic #orchestra

Nezhat Amiri, Iran’s only female orchestral conductor and her fight to conduct. This article is from 8 years ago. Sadly I can’t find anything more recent. I hope she’s conducted other performances since then. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/20/the-conductor-smashing-iranian-taboos-over-women-and-music #NezhatAmiri #Iran #classicalMusic #femaleconductor #genderpolitics #Tehran #MarinAlsop #ParvizMansouri #MortezaHannaneh #orchestra #IranianMusic #PersianClassicalMusic

Friends of mine perform tonight in a concert I can very much recommend! Contemporary classical music, very poetic and beautiful (but not necessarily simple). By female composers. https://www.iamsterdam.com/en/whats-on/calendar/concerts-and-music/concerts/women-and-the-starry-night #amsterdam #muziek #music #classicalmusic #cello #piano

Last day of coaching Nederlands Kamerkoor on Finnish. Today my job has mostly just been to listen and enjoy myself. :) I’m getting paid to listen to a professional choir sing a great piece of music. No complaints. :) #music #choir #classicalmusic

Bluebeard's Castle (Complete Opera) by Béla Bartók, Antal Dorati, London Symphony, Olga Szönyi, Mihaly Szekely, released on Mercury in 1963. Duke Bluebeard's Castle (Hungarian: A kékszakállú herceg vára, literally The Blue-Bearded Duke's Castle) is a one-act Symbolist opera by composer Béla Bartók to a Hungarian libretto by his friend and poet Béla Balázs. Bartók's only opera, it is based on the French folk legend, or conte populaire, as told by Charles Perrault, it lasts about an hour and deploys just two singing characters: Bluebeard (Kékszakállú) and his newest wife Judith (Judit); the two have just eloped and she is coming home to his castle for the first time. - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFhCxC0rrNw&list=RDOFhCxC0rrNw&start_radio=1 #BelaBartok #LondonSymphony #Opera #ClassicalMusic #BlueBeardsCastle #Music

Just to practise how to share a youtube video from a certain timestamp, hope this works as intended! Thank you everyone who gave advice. :) Our choir concerts are usually not streamed, unlike the Sunday services. But this was a special occasion celebrating the 650th anniversary of the province of Utrecht. So a composer from the province, Joannes Tollius (ca. 1550- ca. 1620)(aka Jan Tol if we're not being fancy) from Amersfoort, "Osculetur me osculo oris sui" and "Surge, propera amica mea". Later on in the video also Händel's Utrecht Te Deum which for obvious reasons we get perform pretty regularly. :) https://www.youtube.com/live/kizDZipR36c?si=mXYVb--U78-Es1fB #choir #churchchoir #music #classicalmusic

If there is a way to share a particular moment in a youtube video, instead of linking to the start of the video, I don't know it. But anyway, at about 1:10:30 here you can hear our choir singing some Gesualdo (a rather mild one mind you) at the service this morning, and have a look at one of the pretty windows in the Dom church. The volunteer who does the video took advantage of the fact that we sang around the baptismal font instead of where we usually stand. (I'm one of the people hidden by the chandelier) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3X5gxRLwnk #choir #churchchoir #music #classicalmusic

The music on the radio as I woke up this morning was Beethoven's Pastoral, which took me back to the audio book I had as a child which featured it. Does anyone else remember the 80s Pickwick Tell-A-Tale cassettes? I had to look it up, but I remembered the music from the Wind in the Willows book. Surprisingly, even though I have always loved reading, I don't think I've ever actually read the book. The other cassette I remember having was Snow White and Rose Red, which featured the music Morning from the Peer Gynt Suite. At the end of the story the music was used to fill in the space on the end of the cassette, so I must have fallen asleep to these two pieces of music many times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJWCWjyy0pI #bookstodon #classicalMusic
