kdaddy Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Some tremendous melodies in here. Romantically modern, written in the 1930s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Florence Price has been getting some love in performance halls in the last five or so years (and the Philly Orchestra won a grammy with her 1st and 3rd symphonies this year). She's the first black woman to ever have a composition played by a major orchestra. Phantom Regiment, play this important music! (love the end of this symphony) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I also saw Hilary Hahn play Dvorak’s Violin Concerto at the same concert.) Edited May 21, 2022 by Jurassic Lancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has my favorite recording of The Lark Ascending, hands down. I think I've also heard her play Sibelius's Violin Concerto, which also is absolutely amazing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the very first live concert for the DSO since COVID. Edited May 22, 2022 by Jurassic Lancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it once in concert but the orchestra wasn't quite what I was hoping for, so I want to see a better ensemble with a soloist that is at least as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Chen was great, and my wife said he was easy on the eyes. Funny … she has never said that about me. Either things.

MikeRapp Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Watching Dune, all I can think about is SCV doing this as a show…an astounding soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostrauser Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I would love to see a drum corps tackle this work, especially the first movement. The last 80-90 seconds of the first movement I think could easily be written to be a DCI closer. It's Hindemith, though. You'd better have some guts to dive into the deep end here. I can never remember how to embed video because I only do it once a year or so. "Pittsburgh Symphony" by Paul Hindemith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmRo1yQoKWE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Every couple years, I get on a Ron Nelson kick. But who doesn't? Both of these tunes have been played before, but I think they're worth revisiting. Also apparently Rocky Point Holiday has also been performed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
