SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
Anthony Aaron, 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.

The Next Four Come To Us Thanks To ursel doran.

Beethoven – Symphony No.9 (10000 Japanese) – Freude schöner Götterfunken

Thanks very much for the temple to worship the music one more Sunday.

Here are two versions of a very famous piece, as the two performances are both worth sharing.

The time and effort by the orchestras and choruses to gather and rehearse for these is worth a thought.

Beethoven Symphony No. 9 – Mvt. 4 – Barenboim/West-Eastern Divan Orchestra

Another version

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 23 – Anna Fedorova – Live Concert HD

We may be getting too much Beethoven and Tchaikovsky may be getting his feelings hurt with no attention so here he is in all his splendor.

Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. One

Yuja Wang: Mendelssohn Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25

Yuja Wang performs Mendelssohn Concerto #1! From about ten years ago.

I really love these vibrant rousing pieces, and she really attacks it with great vigor.

This Next One Comes To Us Thanks To Former Mafioso nkit.

Mahler Symphony No. 5 – Adagietto

A favorite of mine, Myung-Whun Chung and the NHK Symphony Orchestra perform Mahler’s Symphony #5 – “Adagietto”

Anthony Aaron

This is what you hear when entering heaven …

The title says it all … and, as one comment reads: “That is one incredible voice the lead singer has. I never expected that from his appearance. It’s like hearing a lion’s roar coming from a sparrow.”

Benjamin Britten – The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra | Saraste | WDR Symphony Orchestra

The work is based on the Rondeau from Henry Purcell’s incidental music to Aphra Behn’s Abdelazer and is structured, in accordance with the plan of the original documentary film, as a way of showing off the tone colours and capacities of the various sections of the orchestra.

Dvorak : “New World” Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, op. 95

Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France

Conducted by Marzena Diakun

This amazing young conductor leads a beautiful performance of this magnificent symphony by Dvorak.

Donovan – Hurdy Gurdy Man – 1968

He had several hits … and always had an aura of a peace-loving soul … in the same manner as Cat Stevens (Jusuf Islam). This is one of his great hits —

John Denver – Rocky Mountain High (from The Wildlife Concert)

And … last, but not least, it would be ungentlemanly to forget to post at least one of Avalon’s favorites …
