#NowPlaying Bach: Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violoncello Piccolo - Mario Brunello.
I will admit, until #Qobuz recommended this album, I was not familiar with Mario Brunello, despite his many accomplishments and my rather rich familiarity with #ClassicalMusic. I have dozens of recordings of #Bach's Sonatas and Partitas, but this is unique for obvious reasons. It is well performed, too.
Zur Feier des Namenstages von Herzog Carl Eugen von #Württemberg hatte der #Komponist und Hofkapellmeister des Herzogs, Niccolò #Jommelli, seine Oper TEMISTOCLE überarbeitet und diese 2. Fassung wurde am 04.11.1765 uraufgeführt. Die erste Fassung war 1757 in Neapel uraufgeführt worden.
As everyone knows, #VíkingurÓlafsson's #JSBach: Goldberg Variations was released today, but there were two other new releases today worth noting. #HaniaRani released her new album, Ghost, and Frank Peter Zimmermann finally, finally, finally, released #Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol. 2. Why there had to be two volumes, I don't know, but I have dozens of recordings of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas and Zimmermann is solid.
Because You Asked about the Line between Prose and Poetry
by HOWARD NEMEROV
Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzle
That while you watched turned into pieces of snow
Riding a gradient invisible
From silver aslant to random, white, and slow.
There came a moment that you couldn't tell.
And then they clearly flew instead of fell.
