Weekly Classical 51/09

Christmas is coming really fast and it shows in this week’s playlist. I also gathered next week’s list which is really interesting, but back to this week’s list. It starts with really beautiful medieval song: veni, veni Emmanuel, what I’ve sung in a mixed choir when I studied at Conservatory. And it continues with medieval theme Angelus ad viginem. Then comes the well famous Bach’s Jesu, joy of man’s desiring. Another famous song is Schubert’s  Ave Maria. The list ends with Vivaldi’s Gloria, what is performed around the globe at Christmas time – to mention I’ve sung it twice with different choir and orchestra, but if  you find it performed near you, I warmly encourage you to go and listen it live. Even the best recording with good loudspeakers can’t beat live performance when it comes to listening experience!

Weekly Classical 50/09

Welcome to my humble blog for spotify and classical music.

I’ve studied piano from my childhood to these days and when getting older the classical music heard in the past, some times forcefully at lessons, comes to life more and more and this time I really enjoy listening it. When spotify came to my life about year ago, it opened new way to explore music, this was the last strike for me to start listening classical a lot more than before. Afterward I opened a WWW-site for classical music and spotify (http://koti.mbnet.fi/reaby/musicguide), which has recommendations for basic repertoire from music history lessons and my memory and also various places from the net. And now from idea of a good friend I open this blog. Time tells how long this lasts.
