[re...] Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Jan Lisiecki Nocturne in C-sharp minor Op. posth. (Chopin) Waltz in C-sharp minor Op.64 No.2 (Chopin) The Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor is a solo piece composed in 1830 and published in 1870. Chopin dedicated this work to his older sister, Ludwika. First published 26 years after the composer's death, the piece is also referred to as Lento con gran espressione, or as Reminiscence. Jan Miłosz Lisiecki (born 23.Mar.1995) is a Canadian classical pianist. Born to Polish parents in Calgary, he began studying piano at the age of five, had his orchestral debut at the age of 9, and has since performed with orchestras in Canada and abroad. Since 2010, he has been a recording artist with Deutsche Grammophon. The Waltz in C-sharp minor is the second work of Chopin's Opus 64 and the companion to the Minute Waltz (Op. 64, No. 1). Composed in 1847, it was dedicated to Mme Nathaniel de Rothschild. The Reluctant Prodigy Part 1 The Reluctant Prodigy Part 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Co...] Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I've liked Philip Glass since my mid-teens. I almost went to see a performance of Akhnaten when it was first performed in London, but somehow didn't - I've never seen any of his operas (or any opera for that matter). Something I intend to rectify someday. I can't find a youtube video for the full Akhnaten opera: But this the Glass opera I would have really liked to have seen (or see - I think it is performed from time-to-time) is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about an encore? Julia Lezhneva Deh Vieni Non Tardar from Act IV of Le Nozze di Figaro by W.A. Mozart & L. Daponte Beautiful, the encore, thank you redevan! Julia Lezhneva has such an amazing voice. And she´s also so expressive, it's a pleasure to watch her sing. For those interested, she's on tour through several European and Asian countries, and will also be in the USA in May: http://www.deccaclassics.com/en/artist/lezhneva/ontour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting - in places even stunning. Here's someone I think was born to sing the role of Akhnaten. I don't believe he's done it yet, but he certainly looks the part, and he's possibly the best counter-tenor around. Philippe Jaroussky Ombra mai fù from Serse by G.F. Händel And here's someone who's often considered the protégé of Philip Glass: John Moran I discovered John Moran's opera The Manson Family about 20 years ago. I have it on CD, and a lot of it's on YouTube. Very impressive music - by which I mean the entire acoustic architecture - though the subject matter is a bit morbid. Then there's this 1985 collaboration of Philip Glass with Robert Moran: The Juniper Tree I'm still trying to understand this strange attraction of Morans to Glass.
