This year, we begin with an offering from Joni in Canada. Joni loves reading blogs, but does not blog herself and has made herself a traditional penfriend to one or two of us. She has a particular interest in music and has kindly provided me with several links to work with throughout the year. Mostly, I will use her links to fill the fifth Wednesdays in those months that have them, but this month, the composer...
Marjan Mozetich, born in Italy on the 7th of January, 1948, is a naturalised Canadian. The link to his biography is also from Joni. There were limited performances of his works on the tubular, but this composer's channel did have the Viola Concerto. It is not the best in sound quality, but quite sufficient to enjoy these ten minutes. There is a sweet, lyrical musical motif that, when it appears, sets one in mind of Strauss... do you hear it?
Violin is one of my favourite musical instruments.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Glad to listen.
ReplyDeleteI am quite fond of the works of Marian Mozetich. As you point out he is Canadian and is heard regularly on the classical music stations here, especially the CBC. Thanks to Joni for recommending him and to you for featuring him, YAM.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece. I really liked it!
ReplyDeleteI am giggling at the question do I recognize a little Strauss, of course not, but they are very talented. If I played the music I like all your followers would say, is that music? my genetics do not lend themselves to classical, and I did listen to most of this just to try it on for size...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful story this music seems to tell.
ReplyDeleteJoni is a lovely penfriend and has wonderful taste in music
ReplyDeletethank you for the birthday wishes it is a lovely day with lovely weather sunny and 71 for a high today most unusual
Hugs Cecilia
I like the sounds of the violins, very pretty! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIch muss ehrlich gestehen, dass ich mich für Violinkonzerte nie sonderlich begeistern konnte. Du bringst mich zur Musik und ich höre seit ich deinen Blog lese, anders, besser hin. Vielen Danke dafür.
ReplyDeleteLovely presentation. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, a great musical offer from you.
ReplyDeleteHi Yam - that's a special note for you and for us to listen to - the Viola Concerto is wonderful ... and I love the presentation ... thanks for this - cheers Hilary. Oh - yes I too am not sure I hear Strauss ... but I'm very unmusical ... sad, but true!
