J.G. Pisendel - Concerto in G minor for 2 Oboes, Strings, and B.c. III. Allegro un poco

The world of the Venetian Baroque on a modern piano? Why not! Since the legendary performances by the great Italian pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli in the 1950s, the Venetian master composer’s “Sonata No. 5” enjoys unbroken popularity with both pianists and audiences. Particularly, the first movement of Galuppi's composition, the little charming “Andante”, is a well-proven favorite.

First Loves
Tim Fain, violin
Robert Koenig, piano

First Loves is a collection of quintessential violin masterpieces which first inspired me to be a violinist. Includes showpieces by Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, Wieniawski, and more, plus “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
As a kid, I was surrounded by classical, pop, rock, jazz, film and contemporary concert music – finding a balance of old and new music is still very important to me. Many of the works on First Loves are the ones that drew me in as a child – Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, and Wieniawski, arrangements by Heifetz, and Kreisler – and remain profoundly relevant today. I’ve also included “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, which I made after my work on-camera and on the soundtrack of the film Black Swan. Each track is dedicated to someone who inspired me or made it possible for me to be the person and the artist that I am today. My hope is that First Loves will inspire others, young and old, to fall in love with the violin as I did.
