Fauré, Nocturne No 6 in D-flat played by Wilhelm Kempff
Fauré, Nocturne No 6 in D-flat played by Wilhelm Kempff Wilhelm Kempff specialised mainly in the German Classical and Romantic repertoires, sometimes branching into Chopin and Liszt. To my knowledge, this is his one foray into Fauré - indeed into any French repertoire. In this 1945 radio broadcast Kempff plays spaciously, creating a delicately perfumed sound world. The recording level is quite low.

It is not a work, of course, that is much discussed (it excites no controversy) or much imitated; nor is it the favorite Mozart concerto of many musicians just as no one's favorite Leonardo is the 'Mona Lisa". Like the G minor symphony and 'Don Giovanni', the D minor concerto can be said to transcend it's own excellences. The historic importance of the K. 466 is that it belongs to the series of works that made Mozart the supreme composer in most musician's minds within ten years of his death. It represents the Mozart who was considered the 'greatest' of the Romantic composers, and it was the character of this work and a few others like it that pushed Haydn in the background for more than a century. It was the concerto that Beethoven played and wrote cadenzas for. It is the fullest realization of that aspect of Mozart that the nineteenth century quite rightly named 'daemonic', and which, for so long, made a balanced assessment of the rest of his work so difficult. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791 ...

Arroyos de la Alhambra
Arroyos de la Alhambra Arroyos de la Alhambra is written by Angel Barrios. He was born in Grenada in 1882, the son of a flamenco guitarist. Ángel Barrios (as he is known) studied classical guitar and composition in his native city, but concentrated on a career as a professional guitar. He later studied in Paris, and though he was to be a touring artist, unlike many other Spaniards, he did remain a national musician. He founded the Trio Iberia in 1900 for which he made many arrangements, and they enjoyed a considerable vogue in Europe. He was quite a productive composer in his younger years, but the Spanish Civil War had a considerable affect on him, and he wrote little in later life. His catalogue of works includes opera, zarzuelas, a number of orchestral scores and solo works for piano and guitar. They are all written in a style influenced by the Romantic era, and relied heavily on a populist Spanish folk influence. He died 1964. I hope you like it... I do :-)

Erik Satie Gymnopédie No. 1 - Tzvi Erez, piano iTunes link itunes.apple.com This is a recording of Satie's First Gymnopédie, performed on a Bosendorfer piano. Unlike other pianists, I play this composition with full chords in the left hand, not using the right hand to take over notes. From my analysis of Satie's original manuscript, he did not indicate to break chords between the hands. Part of "Intimate Recital". 2010 Niv Classical. www.nivmusic.com
