As a little ❤️thank you❤️ to all of you who voted (or are about to, or planning to vote) for my contribution to this year's #fedivision, or who simply liked my song without voting… here is some "further listening" for you:
(of course, everyone else is welcome to listen, too 😊)
Here is a lovely violin sonata by Robert Fuchs, his
fourth (written in 1905). It is a score video and
watching the score is more than usually rewarding as
some of the interplay of the voices is less obvious
in just the audio...
"Bread" is a 1930 silent Ukrainian film banned in the USSR by Soviet censors.
It was rediscovered in the 70s and recently, my friend Luke Corradine, an award-winning composer, composed music for it.
This film was premiered in February at the Alborada Classica Music Festival in Granada, by whom it was commissioned. The piano at the premier was played by famed Australian pianist, Duncan Gifford.
Cecilia Zilliacus, Kati Raitinen, Bengt Forsberg, Peter Friis Johansson
It's been out since April, but this is only the 2nd time I have listened to it. I must not have been paying attention the first time because this is an outstanding album. 5 stars.

I never thought I would say this, but Andrew W.K.'s #NPR Tiny Desk Concert is actually very interesting. It is just him and an electric keyboard. Yes, he is not the most talented pianist in the world, but there are some very interesting piano compositions happening here. Some #ExperimentalMusic, Some even #ClassicalMusic, though when he starts sings his playing becomes much more simple. Still, I think you would be surprised, @classicalpiano. I was.
