 Classical music for your day. [main information in part 1] Continuing our journey through Atterberg's 8th symphony, we come to the light 3rd movement. I chose the picture of the boat because the movement just feels so light and free. A lively city scape could also work. Enjoy!

 Classical music for your day. Been busy lately, so not as many videos as I have hoped. In any case, here's one. We're going to do something a bit different this time. For the next three postings, we're going to follow the eighth symphony of Kurt Atterberg. I really like this symphony and I hope you do too. It's well done and full of rich melodies. While not the enormous architecture of Bruckner, Mahler or others around this time period, he has some wonderful things to write. His movements are smaller and a lot simpler; more folk-related. He was a Swedish composer born in Gothenburg in 1887. As for the video, instead of trying to find over 40 pictures of Sweden, I'll be selecting one picture per movement. Let's get started! From his eighth symphony op.48, here's the first movement: Largo. Kurt Atterberg (1887-1974) "Largo" - 9:03 performed by: SWR Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart under Ari Rasilainen. label: CPO | Jorge Bolet Interview (1983)

 The Symphony No. 9, in E Minor | Kazuhito Yamashita interview
 Translation : Many composers who were inspired by Andres Segovia offered their works to him.Among these composers was Tedesco who wrote many pieces for the guitar. I've been playing these works since my childhood. I selected his music to play in an international competitions for guitarists, and I've been playing many of his pieces in different concerts in Japan and abroad. Holding a one-night recital specialized in his works was a rare opportunity. And, I'm very pleased I was able to have such an opportunity. The program included a new piece by the Filipino composer Chino Toledo (spelling unknown), still an unfamiliar name in Japan, and I'm grateful I was given a chance to organize such a program. I've been thinking about this for many years now.... Asia has been producing a lot of excellent performers in recent years, well, not just players but also composers. These composers learned Western classical music, but because of their diverse Asian cultural backgrounds, I expect they can incorporate into their music something that European composers lack. For the last few years, I've been working on a project in collaboration with young composers who are living in Asia. I've found there is a lot that I as a player and they as composers have a lot to share, and it's an enjoyable experience. |
