John F, Thanks so much for posting this wonderful video clip. How did Mozart write something as complex and beautiful as this? The computer had not been invented. Mozart was simply amazing. What gives me the chills every time I hear this movement is the rise from C to Db at 11:25. It just makes my h...

Many thanks.

It's a well-documented fact that Tchaikovsky was a homosexual, but it is rarely mentioned who his partner(s) was/were.
Does anyone know?
Sorry, I'm just curious ...

Absolutely - Walter Klien is a first class pianist. I have many of his recordings on several labels. Another Austrian pianist who has this music in his blood. I thought the Vox recordings of his Schubert were exceptional. Three two-CD sets were issued by Vox: 5173, 5174, and 5175. Thankfully, they a...

Thanks for the recording. I'll listen to it in a moment.

Have you read Leon Fleisher's autobiography?

I have, and found it immensely interesting.

Check out YouTube and listen to Denis Matsuev give as great a performance of this masterpiece as I ever heard and there's very few I'm unfamiliar with.

I believe Agnes' daughter founded a group called "Selby and Friends". The contact information is given on this page:

Worth a try.

How to pronounce Jaap's name ......

Watch this interview:

The host mentioned the name at around 00:58 of the tape.

Don't know if anyone has seen this video before, but I just thought I would post it here anyway:

Sad news! I remember Agnes mentioning on this board that she would like to write a biography of Alma Schindler one day. Perhaps she never had the chance to complete the project. I had enjoyed her posts, which were always interesting and informative. May she rest in peace. http://www.canadaflowers.ca...

Thanks for the heads up.

I only caught the second half of the recital.

Yuja was stunning! Her encores were wonderful too. Virtuosic, yet stylish. Never vulgar.

Frankly, I prefer her to Lang Lang.

(dodging the bullets ....)

Allen

I, too, have benefited immensely from John's posts.

John - Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Happy birthday, and may all your wishes come true.

Lance - Thanks for providing this forum so that I can learn from wonderful posters like John.

Karl Jenkins has written a piece entitled "Adiemus" (Songs of Sanctuary).

I need to translate the following movements of the piece into English:

Adiemus
Cantus Iteratus
In caelum fero
Amate adea

Does anyone have any idea?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Sad news.

I have his complete set of Chopin's nocturnes.

I also have his CD recording of "Peter Grimes". He's unforgettable!
