SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
nkit, and Steve C.

Every Sunday morning we present selections for our TBP family to enjoy.

We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.

Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may stray a little, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.

We offer tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light-hearted and fun aimed at a younger audience. Those pieces will be so designated, and might be a good way to introduce kids to a world of music that they might not have been exposed to or think of as old and ‘stuffy’.

A full symphony will run as long as it will. We don’t want to cut a symphony short. However, we also include some shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes in length. You can sample each and hopefully find one or more that pleases you.

We hope that you enjoy our Sunday selections.

This One Comes To Us From Our Friend SMC

Mozart Piano Concerto No. 10 for two pianos in E-flat major K. 365/316a III. Rondeau. Allegro

Consider: sometime around 1780 Anno Domino, the idea that, in the gathering and assembly of symphony orchestras, the largest of all the instruments to be played was the piano.

Certainly, nobles and kings were able to afford them, besides the successful composers of the day.

But only someone with an amazing ability to think outside the box would have the audacity to actually write a composition for symphony featuring not one, but TWO pianos, and then somehow arrange to have them brought together for a performance.

On top of all that, the tune is a thoroughly enjoyable piece.

Who would DO something like that?

The Next Three Come To Us From ursel doran

Yuja Wang: Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30(George Enescu Festival, 2019)

Recognizing the possible sinful issue of being repetitive…..herewith, Good sir.

Yuja – Rachmaninoff #3

Yuja Wang – Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 2 in C minor Op.18

This version of Rachmaninoff #2 is *special* for not only the performance, but for the camera work outdoors at sunset. Like a warm blanket on the shoulders in the morning.

1812 OVERTURE, amazing FLASHMOB – (Tchaikovsky)

And now for more from the villain of the year Tchaikovsky.

The Year 1812 Solemn Overture, Op. 49, popularly known as the 1812 Overture, is a concert overture in E♭ major written in 1880 by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to commemorate the successful Russian defense against Napoleon’s invading Grande Armée in 1812.

In 1974, the Boston Pops added cannons, church bells and fireworks to draw crowds to their Independence Day concert. It was so successful that the inclusion of the “1812 Overture” became a staple.

Flash Mob performed by Banda Simfònica d’Algemesí on September 3rd 2016 at Algemesí city (Spain), playing Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture”; after the success achieved with the Ravel’s Bolero flashmob in 2013.

Director/Conductor: Alberto Ferrer i Martínez

Tchaikovsky: Ouverture 1812 | Prinsengrachtconcert 2013

Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw Orkest, onder leiding van Antonio Pappano speelt ‘P.I. Tsjaikovski – Ouverture 1812’ tijdens het Prinsengrachtconcert 2013.

Tchaikovsky, Waltz from Sleeping Beauty

And now it’s time for my very favorite Tchaikovsky piece – his Waltz from Sleeping Beauty.

Dancing is fun, but a waltz is pure romance…

The Classic Music Mafia – Adding some class to this joint one Sunday at a time.
