I think I skipped the cello for some time so I should fix it. Always a good idea, Gautier Capuçon performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 - I. Adagio. Moderato, with the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Antonio Pappano.
Have a great evening!

Less than four weeks until the annual New Year’s Concert from the Philharmonic of Vienna. Always a pleasure with rich people inside having champagne, and the poor outside watching it live on a big screen. On a positive note, our drinks never get warm.
Here's a video from last year’s performance with Riccardo Muti conducting the Freiheitsmarsch.

In 1967, to commemorate 100 years of Canadian Confederation, Glenn Gould performed Bach's Concerto No. 7 in G minor for his first colour telecast, "The Canada Centennial Concert“, with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Vladimir Golschmann.
A beautiful evening to everyone!

Today, I bring a small homage to Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli.
Brahms' Ballade Op. 10 No. 4 in B major, through Michelangeli's hands, works like Xanax.
