Now ... Over The Rhine Snow Angels
First up: Piano Sonata No.17 Op.53.
Wow. He's good! A great start so far!
Playing the fifth : )
Debs
Hilary Hahn - Mendelssohn, Shostakovich
Despite some evocative - and for its time, revolutionary 'romantic' - opening music and a good text, I've always found The Creation to fall back into an endless succession of uninteresting numbers from the mid-point onwards - I have yet to hear a performance that changes my mind. This particular recording benefits from a glorious ASMF, but the trio of soloists doesn't work for me. Fischer-Dieskau is far too serious, Mathis' essentially beautiful voice sounds tepic and shut-in, and Baldin sounds committed but unremarkable.
Cheers,

Now scientists call this disease bromidrosis
(that's right!)
And well they should
Even Napoleon knows that
But us regular folks
Who might wear a tennis shoe
Or an occasional python boot
Know this exquisite little inconvenience by the name of:
Stink foot
Wilco "The Whole Love"
