I also wrote in Matt Matthews’ 4 French Horns Plus Rhythm, but I like non-mainstream instruments, and in recent years I’ve been collecting 4 beats and classics.Swingin’ Pretty and All That Jazz was like the ultimate point of the road.
I decided to listen because I liked the accordion, but at the beginning, in the middle of the guitar and accordion unison theme, a harp grisand came in from the left channel and I was delighted that it was harp jazz.He also loves harps, listening not only to the classic harp, but also to a handful of harp jazz, Dorothy Ashby, Alice Coltrane, and even Corky Hale.
In addition, it is positioned a little closer to the center than the harp, and the violin appears.This makes a good sound again.It is the sound of a properly trained person.It is 3 cards of non-jazz instruments: accordion, violin and harp.I wanted to hear a sound like this!

The new focus on Bohemian classicism in the second half of the 18th century, manifested in recent recordings and articles in professional journals, has amply demonstrated the calibre of these composers and the quality of their music. Among them, Josef Mysliveček enjoyed considerable fame during his lifetime. He was known to such important figures as the soprano Caterina Gabrielli and was a friend of Mozart’s, who esteemed him.

“Bravo Mozart!” exclaimed Emperor Joseph II as he stood up and tipped his hat at the end of the first performance of Piano Concerto No. 18 KV 456 , played by Mozart himself on 30 September 1784.
For years, historical speculation was that Mozart had written this concerto for Maria Theresia von Paradis, based on a letter written around that time by Leopold Mozart to his daughter Nannerl. However, Hermann Ullrich has discounted this theory, based on the date of entry in Mozart’s catalogue and the fact that von Paradis had left Paris at the start of October 1784, which indicated that there was not sufficient time to send her the concerto for performance. Richard Maunder has countered with the idea that Mozart could still have sent the concerto to Paris and that it would have been forwarded to von Paradis in London, where it was possible that she performed the work in March 1785.

Born and raised in Vienna, Josef Krips trained as a choirboy and studied with Felix Weingartner, who then hired him as a repetiteur at the Volksoper. He his debut there in 1921, before graduating to the Vienna State Opera in 1933. In the aftermath of the Second World War, it was Krips above all who reformed and re-trained the State Opera as a world-class ensemble, and in the most difficult conditions. His pragmatism and understated authority made him a model recording conductor, and Decca hired him to work with orchestras in several of their centres of activity.

Erik Bertsch – Benjamin: Complete Piano Works (2024)

The only collected survey of George Benjamin’s piano music on record, from a Dutch pianist who specialises in new music and has worked closely with the composer.
Benjamin was an accomplished pianist as well as composer from his early years, and it seems natural in retrospect that his first published work should be the Piano Sonata he composed in 1977-8, as a prodigious student of Olivier Messiaen and Yvonne Loriod. Certain harmonic touches may mark the sonata out as the work of ‘a Messiaen pupil’ but the unsettled, leaping gestural sense of the piece is particular to Benjamin. So much of Benjamin’s later music is fascinatingly prefigured here, including a sense of timing for a gradual accumulation of tension (‘stormy eruptions’ and ‘savage violence’ in the composer’s words) that marks out his first major orchestral score, Ringed by the Flat Horizon. Underlying that sense of timing is a feeling for dramatic gesture which has found its natural expression in a series of operas written during the last 20 years.

If you like the GUITAR or MUSIC in general, you need to get this mans music. This is an astonishing hybrid that works 99% of the time. The combination of BLUES and FRENCH / ARABIC song structures and lyrics is astonishingly listenable and I find myself dancing around the livingroom playing air guitar and emoting in a language I don’t understand. Despite the foreign influences, the BLUES gets the respect it deserves and AMAR plays some superb blues guitar. His TONE and PHRASING are sensational and mostly original, although some influences can be spotted. If you mixed BECK / HENDRIX / COLLINS and a couple of KINGS, you’d get close.

In many ways, the music of Writhing Squares could have only originated in Philadelphia; the city itself is a microcosm of creatives, go-getters, freaks & weirdos that have coalesced into a supportive & boundary-pushing crew. Former Purling Hiss bassist Daniel Provenzano & Ecstatic Vision sax-player & vocalist Kevin Nickles’ first musical missive as Writhing Squares was shot forth from this community in 2013 (the self-released CDR “Live In Space”) & various singles, split releases, albums (and a double-album) later we arrive at the duo’s fourth full-length “Mythology”, their third for Chicago-based Trouble In Mind Records.

A native of Bergen, Edvard Grieg almost single-handedly brought the riches of Norwegian national style to worldwide attention during the 19th century with the use of folk music in his compositions. The ambitiously scaled Symphonic Dances features a compelling selection of regional melodies and jaunty rhythms to brilliant effect. Music from the eloquent drama of Sigurd Jorsalfar and the Two Elegiac Melodies are also included along with the Bridal Procession and the ever-popular Lyric Suite. These classic Vox recordings by Maurice Abravanel and the Utah Symphony Orchestra were originally issued in 1976 and have been newly remastered from the original tapes.
