Adagio Ma Non Troppo, by Ryoko Sekiguchi

Allegro ma non troppo - Le leggi fondamentali della stupidità umana di Carlo M. Cipolla eBooks & eLearning

Posted by futon2009 at Oct. 18, 2013

Un "divertissement", un guizzo anarchico dell'intelligenza. È così che si possono definire queste pagine nelle quali Cipolla abbandona gli austeri panni dello studioso e, giocando sul filo del paradosso e dell'assurdo, costruisce due brevi saggi: il primo, una ilare parodia della storia economica e sociale del Medioevo; il secondo, una sorta di scherzosa teoria generale della stupidità umana.

The genre of string quartet emerged in the middle of the eighteenth century as music for leisure, but the works of Haydn and Mozart turned it into a phenomenon of high art. Beethoven continued the tradition by creating sixteen string quartets between 1799 and 1826. Almost all of them were devised for the professional string quartet formed in the 1790s in Vienna and led by Ignaz Schuppanzigh. The ensemble was in the service of Prince Karl Lichnowsky and Count Andrei Razumovsky who were patrons of art, and began to perform chamber music in public concerts in the 1820s.

The English born soloist Solomon (the only name he ever used in his professional life) was fortunate in having found success in two separate careers as a pianist. From the age of eight until his early teens, he was one of the most celebrated child prodigies of his era, a national phenomenon in England right up until the time of the First World War. He developed a distaste for his instrument, however, and on the advice of conductor Sir Henry Wood, he gave up music for several years.

Herbert von Karajan was the most renowned conductor to emerge from Europe in the post-World War II era – and through fortuitous timing throughout his career, and in spite of controversy that dogged his early years, he was the most recorded conductor of the 20th century, and is likely to remain one of the most visible (and biggest-selling) conductors well into the 21st century. Born in Salzburg and descended from a family of Greek origin with deep roots in Austria – including scholars and physicians in Vienna and Salzburg – he was a music prodigy, playing the piano at three and playing his first recital a year later.

Beethoven Complete Quartets by The Cleveland String Quartet Music

Posted by stote at Dec. 4, 2009

This is a very underestimated version of Beethoven's cycle ; It is simply one of the most achieved, along with the Budapest, Juilliard (first cycle), Vegh, Italiano and Talich. Cleveland Quartet pay a great attention to the structural aspect of Beethoven's writing, yet they never forget to sing admirably.

Label: Sony Classical | Release Year: 2013

Yo-Yo Ma Plays Cello Masterworks is an eight-CD box set of previously released material recorded in the 1980s and 1990s, and presumably so familiar to his fans that the package doesn't even come with a booklet. It really is a no-frills affair, right down to the thin cardboard sleeves that repeat the same photograph on the box, instead of offering original cover art. But the greatest disappointment is that only three of J.S. Bach's Six Cello Suites were included, so listeners seeking them should forego this budget package and find the complete suites, which Ma recorded twice.

Philippe Cassard & Cédric Pescia - Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 (Transcribed for 2 Pianos by Franz Liszt) (2020) [Dgtl Dwnd 24/48] Vinyl & HR

FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/48 kHz | Front Cover & Digital Booklet | Time - 67:47 minutes | 605 MB
Classical | Label: La Dolce Volta, Official Digital Download

While any of Liszt's superb transcriptions of Beethoven's first eight symphonies is a challenge for the pianist, the two-piano arrangement of the Ninth is at once spellbinding and a formidable test. This remarkable synthesis of soloists, chorus and orchestra presents a powerful structure that condenses all the fearsome difficulties of ensemble playing for the two pianists. This version by Philippe Cassard and Cédric Pescia displays extraordinary nobility, truth and grandeur, with the epic sweep ideally suited to the "Ode to Joy".
