@Ferenc1943 I'm not convinced that it was "too slow". After all, it came from your heart. Thank you for the video.

The popularity of Dvorak's string quartet No. 12 "American" is well demostrated here on Youtube. It is indeed a lovely work. A few others of his st...
You mention that the adagio is your favorite. What a difficult choice to have made since there is SO MUCH beauty and masterful composition contained within the Dvorak quartets. I know them well and could not make such a choice..one made even more difficult by the magnificent playing of this great...

Maher's "humor" resides in the biases of the amused.If you think he's funny,then laugh,but don't tell us he's just being funny.Yes,Maher's right to offend is protected,but much of his "humor" is ideologically driven,and not particularly clever.His HBO audiences and panels are weighted to his adva...

Toccata and fugue By J. S. Bach for horn alone. Javier Bonet
Toccata and Fugue by J. S Bach. Arr: Nagy Szolt
Concert in Munich
Although others are performing this challenging arrangement, yours is impressive in its effect. It's good that skilled virtuosos (as with yourself) are performing works which further expand the capabilities of the horn. This is also true of your performance of the very interesting Brotons concert...

Niccolo Paganini, Caprice No 17

Thanks for posting this Maria!
And when we tire of hearing Paganini (by anyone), we can mute the sound and simply admire Ms. Shalgina's pulchritude.

Re other excellent renderings: from the 1960s, Szell and Cleveland, and, for the real thing, Ancerl and the Czech Phil. Of course, there are other, more recent recordings which are also excellent. This maestro exemplifies that a conductor need not be overly demonstrative to be effective. This pe...

@s14sr:Well, it could be said that blacks "rule" when the music is blues and jazz; that gringos "rule" in Rock; that Western Europeans "rule" in classical music.

I can't agree that he was "the greatest guitar player ever". One would have to exclude many greats for him to be the greatest. But he was a great player. Among the greats we can include, of course, Segovia, Williams, Parkening, etc. And for Flamenco ? Who can forget the remarkable Carlos Montoya,...

He would never win an audition playing in this way; Out of tune (it's a double horn, so why not use the F side occasionally?), rhythmically inaccurate, and poor phrasing. If you're gong to record it for all to hear, why not do it well?

Of course, Mssrs. Schonberg and Bird are absolutely on point. But one need not be told this, one needs only to listen to this great pianistic artist to know the talent and spirit therein. Beyond these qualities, he was also a unique and idiosyncratic personality. These recordings are an essentia...

The orchestra needs a lot of polish....translation; practice and coaching. The ensemble is too loose, and the multiple errors disappoint.

@MrHenigans We could expand this discussion into one about the inherent meaning of music, and whether it (music), free of a pre-established program, can represent anything other than itself. Before you jump to say, "of course it can", think about it. It's a classic question of musical aesthetics,...

@brainwasher9876 As to offense being taken because of a disliked rendering of an original; unless it represents a legal infringement, there's little that can be done. So why concern yourself with it? Enjoy what you like, and ignore or avoid the (bad) tastes of others.

@MrHenigans As for Miles's "honoring; isn't its "quality" also a matter of opinion and taste? As a practical matter, didn't Miles distort and modify the creative work of another artist for his own profit?

Much of Mrs. Beach wonderful oeuvre is deserving of more widespread recognition. I enjoyed this rendering of opus 92 #2, but i'll add that it is marked "Lento", and at a slower tempo than heard here, the piece becomes even more "haunting" and atmospheric. The pianist Joanne Polk has devoted he...

Another excellent hornist, no doubt. But there are many players who play as well. or even better; Any major orchestra has at least 1 or 2. Obviously, Mr. Ruske practiced this extensively--how else to memorize it? One might prefer a different, less thin, and less bright tone, but that is a subjec...
