Felicia van den End – Suite Modale

Video

No one watches videos on the weekend do they? In that case, I'm going to play a couple more unusual things.

Another musical influence is all the years I spent playing the flute. Along with dance classes, playing flute taught me a ton about rhythm, phrasing, and counting.

Bloch's "Suite Modale" was a favorite piece of mine. It seems there are a lot of videos of students performing it, but this was the only live professional performance I turned up. It's Felicia van den End on flute and the Magogo chamber orchestra conducted by Micha Hamel. It's probably not my favorite performance I've ever heard of this piece, but I do like it.

Ms. Holter is indescribable. Avant Garde? Classical? Pop? Ambient? I dunno. Just call her brilliant.
And because she can't be pigeonholed: Continue reading Julia Holter – City Appearing →

Miyazono Kaori – Beethoven Sonata No.9 Op.47 “Kreutzer”

Video 2 Comments

I mentioned in Movie Day that the finale of the anime Your Lie in April started streaming on Thursday so I watched it. The ending was about what I expected, and the show stuck the landing. One of the best shows I've watched in year. Anyway, in honor of that, here's Kaori's first performance from the show, "Kreutzer."

George Gershwin – Rhapsody In Blue

Video 2 Comments

Remember back on Monday when I said my family originally bought 2 CD's?  I lied.  There were 3.  The third was a collection of George Gershwin's music.  So I guess we're moving back in time here.  But my assessment today is the same as it's been from the start: I think this might be the perfect song.
