J.C. BACH - Ich Lasse Nicht - (First Editing!) VOX LUMINIS

Excerpt from live recording of my performance of Diabelli Variations by Ludvig van Beethoven , Warsaw 2001 at UMFC's concert hall.

L. van Beethoven - Diabelli Variations Op.120, Var. XXXI

Peter Boyer's Symphony No. 1 was commissioned by the Pasadena Symphony, and premiered by that orchestra under his direction in April 2013. The three-movement, 24-minute symphony is dedicated to the memory of Leonard Bernstein. This is the first movement, "Prelude."

The symphony is the centerpiece of a new recording of Boyer's music by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer at historic Abbey Road Studio One in 2013. Released worldwide by Naxos in its American Classics Series in February 2014, the recording also includes four other Boyer orchestral works. It has been broadcast on over 150 radio stations around the U.S. and abroad.

"Boyer, who claims more than 300 performances by more than 100 orchestras, writes in a fluent, powerful style that fuses conservative American currents with Hollywood-ish size and populist sentiment... eloquent, spaciously recorded performances…"
-- Gramophone

"Like all of the music on this disc, the symphony is tuneful, expertly crafted, colorfully scored… Boyer knows what he wants, and how to do it. This very well engineered disc is lots of fun, and a really good listen."
-- ClassicsToday.com

"The performances here are simply superb, showing off [Boyer's] engaging and easily accessible cinematic style. This is certainly a recording that should have broad appeal, and one which you will likely find yourself returning to time and again. The music is brilliantly orchestrated with engaging thematic ideas and a fine sense of dramatic shape."
-- Cinemusical

"Classical music listeners apprehensive about 'new music' have nothing to fear, and everything to love, about Peter Boyer. The American composer writes music in a neo-romantic style with an unabashedly direct and popular appeal… His Symphony No. 1, a tribute to his muse Leonard Bernstein, is a stirring work, filled with soaring, 'American sounding' themes and propulsive rhythms… a recording that’s sure to win him many new fans."
-- WRTI (Philadelphia), New Releases

Symphony No. 1 - Movement I: Prelude – London Philharmonic Orchestra/Peter Boyer, conductor

The Sixth Suite Prelude provides a powerful conclusion to the Cello Suites. The Sixth Suite was originally written for the viola pomposa, a five string instrument with added E string above the top A string of the four string cello. Unfortunately, the viola pomposa is not widely produced to play today. Cellists who play the work in the original key on the cello are required to play in the very highest registers of the instrument.

Oronte's aria: 

Farà la mia spada 
Ch'il perfido cada, 
E smorzi col sangue 
L’ardore e l’ardir!

A giusta vendetta 
Ragion m’alletta
Mi desta il coraggio 
L’oltraggio a punir!

~

My sword will make the villain fall, 
And quench his ardour and courage with blood

Reason drives me to just vengeance, 
awakes my courage to punish the outrage

We believe the publication of this sound fulfills the criteria for "fair use" - for discussion and study.

Philippe Jaroussky sings "Farà La Mia Spada" by Antonio Vivaldi

Frédéric Chopin wrote his first piano concerto ever in 1830. It was premiered that same year, and published after his next concerto, hence it came to be known as the Piano Concerto no. 2, in F minor, even though it was the first to be composed. Written before Chopin finished his formal education, the piece betrays a certain sophistication in terms of formal development. It features an extremely dominant piano part, with the orchestra leaving all responsibility for musical development to the soloist, thus ignoring the interplay that is the mainstay of an instrumental concerto. 

Piano sextet version. 

Live from the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Ireland.
