I've been listening daily, but neglecting to post. Perhaps that's because I haven't found this week's selections massively inspiring, although things improved as the week went on.
Holmès was ok, pretty bland, can't remember much of it now. As something interesting for solo flute I really wanted to like the Varese, but nope. Franck I disliked - moody in the wrong ways, like the soundtrack to a dramatically wronged teenager. Bach I can never fault, but there's other Bach material I'd go to first.
The Couperin I like very much. Delicate and graceful. I think it might be both to my DD's taste and within her skill set, so I'm going to nag her to borrow the sheet music.
Farrar was gorgeously warm and very apt.
Today we have Five Pieces for two violins and piano 1: Praeludium by Shostakovich
I think I have listened to the right piece. Google/spotify can't seem to find "three pieces" which my Kindle lists, so I've cracked on with this from Five Pieces, which I know well and love. This is beautifully simple, but with lovely rich tones. Perfect for cool autumn sunlight. I like how the lighter, folkier passage lifts it in the middle, before returning to calm quietness.
