MICROBIO: Philip Glass 1937- All classical composers are not necessarily 'decomposing composers' to quote Michael Palin of Monty Python fame. The American Philip Glass still breathes. He has been described as a 'minimalist', although I prefer the nomenclature, music with repetitive structures. His father owned a record store in Baltimore and the young (continued below)

(continued from above) Philip was left with unsold records, which tended to favour Bartok, Shostakovitch and Schoenberg. A triumvirate of the more complicated structuralists of the modern epoch. His early studies took him to Paris, and under the tutelage of Nadia Boulanger he embraced the mathematics of Bach and Mozart. If your new to the classical genre this is an excellent place to start. Sit back grab a book, a glass of wine and a couch, and let the tinkling of digits on ivory wash over you.

Jherek Bischoff   1982- Jherek Bischoff is an American composer who transcribes his music from his banjo and bass to the orchestra... well I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than that. I'm led to believe that he bicycles over to his musician friends with a microphone and a computer. Sounds good.

BAROQUE II SAMPLER 1690 - 1740:  Vitali • Albinoni • Vivaldi and pals.
MUSIC & TRAVEL BLOG. 04.02:  In Venice, where I am as I write this, the acoustics are as singular as the place. The reverb of shoes on pavement and the lapping of water on walls echo in the natural sonic geography of alley and street. In this environment, Vivaldi, and the ten other composers here, created the music that became Baroque.  (continued below)
VIVALDI  1678-1741
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi, 1678-1741, was nicknamed Il Prete Rosso 'The Red Priest' because of his red hair. He was an Italian Baroque composer and virtuoso violinist, born in Venice, and recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers of his age. Vivaldi is known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin, as well as sacred choral works and over 40 operas. His best known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons. But you knew that.

(Continued from above) In this new playlist, we travel back to that Venetian landscape of the early 18th century, where violins and voice called and responded through passage and cul-de-sac. “In every home, someone is playing a musical instrument or singing-–there is music everywhere,” recorded an anonymous Frenchman at the time.

Sooooo...I apologize for taking so many years to release this interview. As I mention in the prologue,  it was for a story suggestion I had for Entertainment Weekly, that they never published. It's a pretty straight forward Q & A, but I think he was very relaxed having come back from the pub. That's about the size of it really, although I feel I must add, that the whole purpose of this site is to try to continue to do...what he was doing. Enjoy in joy. C

lyricism, expressive breadth, structural ingenuity, and a tonal palette of rich, distinctive orchestral colors. The piano is featured prominently in Rachmaninoff compositional output. He made a point of using his own skills as a performer to explore fully the expressive possibilities of the instrument. Even in his earliest works he revealed a sure grasp of idiomatic piano writing and a striking gift for melody. Note the Prelude In C Sharp Minor Opus 3 No 2 or last track, played by the composer.

WARSAW TO JOY DIVISION: Long ago in a galaxy far away, I chanced upon three dusty old cassettes at a flea market in Camden Town, London. How enjoyable it is to hear Ian Curtis and the band working out their lyrical and instrumental chops. These tracks are now classic's and sound 
wonderfully raw without Martin Hannett at the mixing desk 
noodling around. Best played at ear-splitting volume with spasmodic body motion at the ready.

Antonio Vivaldi  1678-1741:   Vivaldi's opus 6 concertos first appeared in print in Amsterdam in 1719. However, this edition was unreliable in the extreme. Scoring was incorrect, the number of works indistinct, random movements separated from their correct work, and a host of other errors. What is clear though is that these concertos are a decisive step forward from the works found previously. For example, all follow the fast-slow-fast pattern of the three movement concerto. The solo violin has prominence, so we are moving away from the concerto-grosso style. Then to follow a rich stew of works for Mandolin, Flute, Violin, Sinfonia and the best kitchen sinks in Venice. Have fun.
