Sigismund Thalberg: Fantasy on themes of Mozart's Don Giovanni (1/2)
Cyprien Katsaris plays this great (in every sense of the word) piece of music. I will admit, it has its lengths, but overall it is a beautiful piece of music brought to a stunning finish through a 2 minute crescendo.
Sigismond Thalberg - Variations on 'Home, Sweet Home!' Op.72 - MICHAEL PONTI
Played by Michael Ponti, 1974. A very popular tune, if you don't recognise it, where have you been living!). "Home! Sweet Home!" (also known as "Home, Sweet Home") is a song that has remained well-known for over 150 years. Adapted from American actor and dramatist John Howard Payne's 1823 opera Clari, Maid of Milan, the song's melody was composed by Englishman Sir Henry Bishop with lyrics by Payne. The opening lines Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home; have become famous. It is also used with Sir Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs and in Alexandre Guilmant's Fantasy for organ Op. 43, the Fantaisie sur deux mélodies anglaises, both of which also use "Rule, Britannia". In 1909, it was featured in the silent film The House of Cards, an Edison Studios film. In the particular scene, a frontier bar was hurriedly closed due to a fracas. A card reading "Play Home Sweet Home" was displayed, upon which an on-screen fiddler promptly supplied a pantomime of the song. This may imply a popular association of this song with the closing hour of drinking establishments. The song is famous in Japan as "Hany? no Yado" ("????"?) ("My Humble Cottage"). It has been used in such movies as The Burmese Harp and Grave of the Fireflies. It is also used at Senri-Ch?? Station on the Kita-Osaka Ky?k? Railway.

"Lazarus, oder die Feier der Auferstehung" ("Lazarus, or the Celebration of the Resurrection") D.689, Cantata for six soloists, chorus & orchestra (Unfinished) composed by Franz Schubert (1820) Act I - XX. So war mir, Lazarus Act I - XXI. O Barmherziger, O verlass ihn nicht performed by Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra with Helen Donath, Lucia Popp, Maria Venuti, Robert Tear, Elmar Schloter, Josef Protschka, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch This large-scale, three-act dramatic work for six vocal soloists, chorus, and orchestra was never performed during his lifetime; indeed, it was apparently never completed. Only the first act and about half of the second act (approximately 75 minutes of music) exist in manuscripts discovered by Ferdinand Schubert, Franz's brother, after the composer's untimely death at age 31. What were the circumstances of the work's composition, and why was it abandoned? What are its principal musical characteristics, and where does it fit in Schubert's development as a composer? Finally, what insight does it provide into Schubert's personal religious beliefs?

Jen? Hubay composed Hullamzo Balaton (waves of Balaton). Joseph Szigeti plays it. Recorded on 30 September 1908; London Joseph Szigeti (Hungarian: Szigeti József) (September 5, 1892 February 19, 1973) was a Hungarian virtuoso violinist. Born into a musical family, he spent his early childhood in a small town in Transylvania. He quickly proved himself to be a child prodigy on the violin, and moved to Budapest with his father to study with renowned pedagogue Jen? Hubay. After completing his studies with Hubay in his early teens, Szigeti began his international concert career. His concertizing at that time was primarily limited to salon-style recitals and the more overtly virtuosic repertoire; however, after making the acquaintance of pianist Ferruccio Busoni, he began to develop a much more thoughtful and intellectual approach to music that eventually earned him the nickname "The Scholarly Virtuoso". Following a bout of tuberculosis which necessitated a stay in a sanatorium in Switzerland, Szigeti settled in Geneva where he became Professor of Violin at the local conservatory in 1917. It was in Geneva that he met his wife, Wanda Ostrowska, and at roughly the same time he became friends with the great composer Béla Bartók. Both relationships were to be lifelong. From the 1920s until 1960, Szigeti performed regularly around the world and recorded extensively. He also distinguished himself as a strong advocate of new music, and was the dedicatee of many new works by ...
