今日はドミトリ・ショスタコーヴィチの命日。1975年、モスクワの病院にて肺がんで没。享年68。

墓はノヴォデヴィチ墓地にあり、墓石に交響曲第10番や弦楽四重奏曲第8番などに使った「D-Es-C-H」のモチーフの楽譜が刻まれている。自らの名前を音名に置き換えたこのモチーフほど、作曲者の墓碑に相応しいものはないかも知れない。https://maps.app.goo.gl/e1uGgrwuBswzWtPL7

Hi music fans !

This is your periodic reminder that I have a little storefront on Discogs with ~300 CDs, cassettes, and records. If you're a person who's still into that kind of thing (or maybe need a gift for someone who is), I hope you'll take a look. There's a little something for everyone, see genre tags below.

Happy listening !

Do you happen to know, by any rare chance, any resource where I can check which dynamics are the most/less comfortable for each instrument? Like, I don't know, FF with harps is anything but comfortable, but I cannot find any resource (link, book, whatever) where it's stated.

今日はアンドレ・ジョリヴェの誕生日。1905年、パリ・モンマルトルのrue Versigny沿いの家に生まれる。

第一次大戦の頃はまだ子供だったことになる。後に兵役を3年経験するが、その頃には既に第一次大戦は終結していたのは彼にとって幸いだったと言える。

エドガー・ヴァレーズにも師事しているので、後の作風に影響する土壌が整う時期にパリに生まれ育ったということになるか。

Oberon review – part panto, part grand opera, Weber’s final work has charm but doesn’t quite convince

Once upon a time, a very charming live staging of the Entire Book VIII by Les Arts Florissants, including commentary by Paul Agnew (in French), was available on Youtube. Unfortunately, only a few "greatest hits" are available at the moment.
For instance, the Lamento della ninfa

If anyone knows where to get the entire performance, for example where I can buy it, please let me know!

Another of my personal favorites, which I had in the Monteverdi #baroquesun, is Monteverdi's

Hor che'l ciel e la terra

from the quite magical Book of Madrigals VIII.

I had a different version in the playlist in combination with another Madrigal, but as a standalone, this rendition is my favorite on Youtube

https://youtu.be/rekbD8az0r0

I think it ranges among my favorite works of all time, especially from the Renaissance and Baroque.

In my first ever #baroquesun, I had something absolutely mind-boggling.

Bach's famous Chaconne from the second violin sonata is a monument all by itself.

Now, listen to this rendition on a traditional Koto by Maya Kimura.

I think she changes the configuration of the instrument regularly while playing to obtain certain pitches, and there seems to be some micro-tonality going on.
