Sweet Child O' Mine

I bet you never heard it like this, you rocker :-)

"To roar it all out"

Ever had a painful tangle of inextricable knots inside of your stomach? We think we're so strong, but then all of a sudden a word, a happening, our own sensibility puts us to not sleeping, hardly breathing, wishing we were a lion to roar it all out. I think Prokofiev knew this feeling very well when he wrote his Sinfonia Concertante.

Tales from the East

"The Sultan Schariar, convinced that all women are false and faithless, vowed to put to death each of his wives after the first nuptial night. But the Sultana Sheherazade saved her life by entertaining her lord with fascinating tales for a thousand and one nights. The Sultan, consumed with curiosity, postponed from day to day the execution of his wife, and finally repudiated his bloody vow entirely", writes the composer as an introduction to this symphonic suite. I hope you enjoy its Arabian magic :-)

Personally, today I need to laugh...

...so there you go, Igudesman & Joo: the kings of musical funniness!

Not only they are exceptional musicians, but also actors and...figure it out yourself :-)

Breathe...

Let's have a break from the troubles and sorrows of life, and lie calm in this surreal athmosphere. Nothing else to say about this Beethoven Sonata but...enjoy!!!

Part 2 (2. Scherzo. Allegretto vivace & 3. Menuetto. Moderato e grazioso)
4. Presto con fuoco (="Quick with fire")

Chaaaaaarge!!!

I believe there's no better piece to match our animated souls, my dear warriors, so make sure you listen to this masterpiece at the loudest possible volume, while you jump up and around your apartment with wild hair and your faces painted like a redskin. Why? First of all it's one of my very favourites :-) and second it brings you to places and it shows you feelings that you didn't even believe humanly possible! Warning: if somewhere in the the Second Movement you find yourself crying like a fountain, it's totally ordinary :-P

First Movement: Allegro (Second Part)
Second Movement: Andante con Moto
Second Movement: Andante con Moto (Second Part)
Third Movement: Scherzo - Allegro Molto
Fourth Movement: Presto

Smoothly going

After this long silence, here's what makes my current days (as a worker!) light, happy and smooth. Octets are real challenges for composers, as they include 8 strings, each one with an independent part. You can think of an inflamed team discussion of 8 colleagues with different skills, characters and backgrounds. Can you imagine how uneasy an ordered coordination is to achieve?
