Name: Purcell - Dido's Lament (new recording) by Deryn Cullen - Cellist in Classics for Cello Ensemble
Duration: 3 min 15 s
Description: Arranged & performed by Deryn Cullen - Jan 2016

Beautiful track, Deryn. Wonderful arrangement.

the clarity is stunning ... both the performance and the audio tech

Just what is needed after a long, hard Monday - heavenly, thank you!

I've always loved this piece.  What an interesting arrangement - played with great feeling.  Reminds me of Purcell's Fantasias for Viols, which he wrote when he was 21 but they are very modern sounding with lots of juicy dissonances in the suspensions.  I had/have the Harnoncourt group's recording of these made in 1965, and it sounds like blues actually.  Where is your Faure Elegie ???

Variation 18 of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini composed in 1934. Rachmaninoff said of this piece: "This one, is for my agent." as he sensed it would become a commercial hit. It's composed by playing upside down the original melody from Paganini. The original is like a piano concerto (solo piano vs orchestra) and I'm trying to do it on a single keyboard with sampled sounds.

The theme was used in the movie Somewhere in Time in 1980 starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano and sampled orchestra strings.

Transcription for solo piano by Hermene W. Eichhorn. Re-uploaded with new take on Jan 26, 2014.

Somewhere In Time: Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini, Variation 18

Delibes - Flower Duet

A recording of J.S. Bach's 'Preludie in C' played by Neil Balfour.

When J.S. Bach began working on his epic Well-Tempered Clavier in 1722, chances are he wasn't thinking that it would become one of the defining musical texts in keyboard history. But, somehow, it has - and the Prelude No. 1 in C Major is where it all starts.

The Well-Tempered Clavier (there are two volumes of it, each containing a prelude and a fugue in each musical key) kicks off in C Major, the most 'natural' musical key, so he obviously made sure that the first entry is a good one. Few pieces of keyboard music sound so delicate and fragile, but there's a very Bach-ian stability to it as well. 

It's a strikingly simple piece to begin with, gently phasing through different chords and registers, but it's one of those pieces that demands to be tinkered with. Consequently, you'll hear plenty of different interpretations of this much-loved work.

First attempt at a new piece I've been playing around with. One take, no editing, slightly dodgy upright piano. So don't be a dick about the odd fluffed note/shitty sound quality :)
