Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Deh vieni alla finestra

Passionately  lying  in flowery  meadows. The  mountains are  kissing  the  blue  skies - and from  the  valley  afar,  sounds  of  a traditional folk band  and  festivity  are  blown through  soft  breezes to  us.

Franz Schubert´s  Impromptus  Nr. 4  interpreted  by  Bastian Lee Jones, is one  of  BLJ´s favorite  piano pieces  by  Schubert, which  will  be  published  on his  solo classic  cd  "climaxual intimacies".

Franz Schubert -  Impromptus Op. 90 No. 4

Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor 2-1

This album brings together a vibrant and heartfelt selection of classical, folk, and popular melodies that span cultures, emotions, and eras. From the timeless beauty of Andante Cantabile, Nimrod, and Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending to the fiery passion of Czardas and the Latin flair of La Isla Bonita and Livin’ La Vida Loca, each track tells its own story while contributing to a rich musical journey.

Beloved operatic style gems like O Mio Babbino Caro, and Salut d’Amour sit alongside moving theatrical and cinematic moments such as The Music of the Night, Theme from The Godfather, and If I Were a Rich Man. The album also embraces the intimacy of Vienna in the beautiful 'Love Unspoken' and 'You Are My Heart’s Delight', offering moments of tenderness and reflection.

Blending classical elegance with popular charm, this collection celebrates the universality of music—uplifting, romantic, and timeless. It is an invitation to savour melodies that have captivated hearts across generations.

Czardas

When Winter Came

The Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler, known as the Resurrection Symphony, was written between 1888 and 1894, and first performed in 1895. Apart from the Eighth Symphony, this symphony was Mahler's most popular and successful work during his lifetime. It was his first major work that established his lifelong view of the beauty of afterlife and resurrection. In this large work, the composer further developed the creativity of "sound of the distance" and creating a "world of its own", aspects already seen in his First Symphony. The work lasts around eighty to ninety minutes and is conventionally labelled as being in the key of C minor; the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians labels the work's tonality as C minor–E-flat major.

Inspired by Grieg's rejuvenating trip to the Jotunheimen Mountains and his encounter with the lovely Gjendine Slålien, this "Notturno" showcases the composer's finest expressive and fresh elements. In fact, Grieg himself couldn't resist playing it in multiple concerts! 🎹🏔️

So, sit back, relax, and let Archie Chen guide you through this enchanting musical world where the wonders of the past and present intertwine. It's an experience you'll cherish forever – or, as Grieg might have said, "en opplevelse for livet!" 🌌💫
