  • Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 Op. 60 "Leningrad" (1942)

    01/30/2016 6:45:00 PM PST · by WhiskeyX · 6 replies
    YouTube ^ | 1941 | Composer: Dmitri Shostakovich
    Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by/Orquesta Filarmónica Real de Liverpool dirigida por Vasily Petrenko. I. Allegretto (0:00) II. Moderato (Poco allegretto) (28:35) III. Adagio (41:31) IV. Allegro non troppo (1:00:11) Shostakovich’s Seventh is the best known art music piece of WWII, considering half of it was composed through the siege of Leningrad. It is a work that reflects not only the factual actions of the conflict, but also many of its philosophical principles, if there were any. Likely, these are the reasons for its everlasting place in history.

  • Bizet - Symphony in C Major

    YouTube ^ | Composed 1855; Premiered 1935 | Georges Bizet
    Donald Johanos and New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Bill Sullivan 3 weeks ago (edited) The Bizet Symphony in C has a very interesting history. It was written in 1855, but not played until 1937. Bizet composed the symphony as a student work while he was at the Conservatoire de Paris. He studied under Charles Gounod. Gounod had composed his Symphony in D. Bizet's Symphony in C has many elements that are are taken directly from the Gounod composition. If you listen to both works you will hear the shared elements. Apparently, Bizet never thought his composition would be played in concert....
  • Enrique Granados /// 12 Spanish Dances Op 37

    YouTube ^ | various | Enrique Granados
    The twelve Spanish Dances, Op.37, were composed in 1890, and initially published in four sets of three dances each. These early works, inspired by the Spanish national school of Felipe Pedrell, were one of Granados' first successes as a composer, and have become one of his most popular piano works, second only to the masterly Goyescas. The 12 Spanish Dances have been transcribed for guitar as well as for orchestra, and are more often heard on the guitar than on the piano, especially the famous 5th dance, Andaluza (sometimes named Playera), which is one of the most performed Spanish classical...
