Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B♭ minor, Op. 35, popularly known as the Funeral March, was completed in 1839 at Nohant, near Châteauroux in France. However, the third movement, whence comes the sonata's common nickname, had been composed as early as 1837.

Funeral March

Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

These performances have never been issued before on CD. Shostakovich's Symphony No.10 was given on 21 August 1968, the very night that Soviet tanks invaded Czechoslovakia in a concentrated effort to halt Dubcek's political reforms. The atmosphere in the Albert Hall, as can heard from the shouts of protest, was electric and very tense but after the first few bars, the disruption was finally drowned out and Svetlanov, according to those present, then went on to give the performance of his life. Svetlanov's widow, on hearing this CD, said that the performance brought tears to her eyes and the emotion of that evening came across vividly. Two short bonus titles have been added - Tchaikovsky's 'Melodrama' from The Snow Maiden and two excerpts from Rimsky-Korsakov's Invisible City of Kitezh reflecting the historic three concerts Svetlanov and his orchestra gave in London at the August 1968 Proms. ICA's Ambient Mastering recreates the atmosphere in the Royal Albert Hall perfectly.

Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet nº8

Over the past years literally NOBODY sent me anything, not even a dime.  This brings me the message that you just don't care, whether I live or not.  Obviously this way I'm  unable to make a recording of the other 3 seasons (this was among my plans), furthermore I'm thinking of taking even this recording down. (as of March 1, 2025) 

The previous remark/"description" was this: 

Short version: 
Please support me with a few dollars - or just 50 cents... ! 
(There's no such amount as "too small"! Anything, really.) 
www.paypal.com/paypalme/toseethesun 

Details: 
Hey guys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, I'm really glad that so many of you like this ! Every week 4-6 people share this recording of mine, and many more people give me a "like" (without sharing).  This feels great, thank you !   

If you - on top of this - would also consider giving me (sending me) 1 dollar, or even a dime, a quarter... only a tiny little amount that you feel comfortable with... the change that you would give to a homeless person on the street... then I could continue to make a living as a musician. Nothing is "too small" !!! 

Because , you know, when I must do "something else" to pay the bills (something that I do only for the money, no vocation whatsoever), then this takes away my precious (and limited) Time, and during the hours of this type of "survival work"  I obviously cannot practice, I cannot make new recordings, cannot prepare the projects in my head or on the computer, cannot fix a cable, etc.   After work I'm tired,  for even trying to sit down with my instruments... I just take a shower, eat something, sleep... and the next day it starts over.  Which is totally normal for so many of you - we both know what hard work is!  But the day consists of only 24 hours for me as well.  Then some of you may 'suggest' "okay, then don't sleep so much  ;-) " ! As if I'd be a robot.. but I'm a human being.  You know, the nature of artistic creation is such, that it needs a tranquil and well-rested mind - and the same is true, for instance, when I drive a car, or when I fly an aircraft.  If I try to live 2-3 lives at the same time, sooner or later something (or someone) would suffer... 

Anyway, I'm asking  EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU who tends to like this recording of mine, to send me at least a ridiculously small amount.  I mean, is 1 dollar too much to ask?  No worries, then please send me 50 cents !  If  1000 people would send me three or four dollars  each month, I could spend all my time with what I REALLY want to do - for instance continuing the production of this recording, the Summer, then Autumn/Fall... And I have many (MANY !) more project ideas in my head. But my beautiful instrument often just rests at home while I have to do "something else"... 

On this particular recording that you just liked and/or shared: 
Zoltan Lengyel (myself) on church organ, with Berthold Oppitz on violin. 

And most certainly you're welcome to check the other recordings of this same page, too  ! (They were made with the same artistical standards.)

Tchaikovsky - Andante from Symphony no. 5

Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his Symphony No. 2 in B major, Op. 14 and subtitled To October, for the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy Capella Choir under Nikolai Malko, on 5 November 1927. After the premiere, Shostakovich made some revisions to the score, and this final version was first played in Moscow later in 1927 under the baton of Konstantin Saradzhev. It was also the first time any version of the work had been played in Moscow.
