I keep finding more amazing works by Louise Farrenc.

In this case, it is a piano trio with flute instead of violin, opus 45.

A pleasant piano concerto by Friedrich Kalkbrenner, a German/French pianist and composer whom Chopin idolised (according to Wikipedia). This is a score video and it takes some digging through the comments to find out that the pianist is Hans Kann and the orchestra the Hamburger Sinfonie-orchester conducted by Heribert Beissel (from an old Turnabout LP, I didn't find a CD version).

An impressive 2019 recital by a pianist who should be better known, Antonio Pompa-Baldi (head of the piano faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Music). The first work on the program is the 2nd Hummel Piano Sonata in the best reading I've heard (at least among the performances on YouTube). The rest of the program is also well worth the audition.

The masterful Hough/Thompson performance of Hummel's 3rd piano concerto (Op. 89).

A jaunty (after the introduction) and thoroughly delightful piece for piano and orchestra by Walter MacFarren:

For me an indispensible part of the Christmas season, Benjamin Britten's "A Ceremony of Carols".

A nice video (and performance) of 6 of the Opus 25 Chopin Etudes (with manuscript scores) played by Francois-Rene Duchable. Even after literally spending hundreds of hours practicing these, they do not become stale.

A 1967 live broadcast in Hamburg by Jakob Gimpel and the NDR
Sinfonieorchester (with Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt conducting)
of the Beethoven 4th piano concerto (perhaps my favorite of
the five). Sadly this sort of non-flashy understated pianism
has gone out of (was never in?) favor.

It’s now clear that Leonard Leo, Ginni Thomas and Harlan Crow conspired in the wake of Citizens United, where Justice Clarence Thomas cast a decisive vote, to unleash over a billion dollars to reshape the judiciary in the mold of the Federalist Society.

The result is now an extreme right-wing Supreme Court that has overturned abortion rights, environmental law, and affirmative action. And they are far from done.

When I was a boy, I studied Harold Boatrite's piano sonata (1956) from a handwritten manuscript copy owned by a friend of mine and I am delighted that there is a recording available on the net. This performance is more emotionally restrained than I think the piece calls for, but otherwise pretty good. If you haven't heard it before, I urge you to give it several listens.

A fun violin concerto published in 1902 by Julius Roentgen
(I previously posted a violin sonata by his wife, Amanda
Maier in this space):

The ancestor of the 8086 processor is the Datapoint 2200, a desktop minicomputer used as an intelligent terminal. Made before the microprocessor, the Datapoint built a processor from a board of chips. The Intel 8008 cloned the Datapoint, first step to the x86 architecture. 🧵
