Recorded Music Society: April Meeting
Douglas gave our April meeting a rousing start by playing the 2nd Movement from Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony, having first described the tribulations of the composer in the USSR at the time of its writing. Beethoven’s Romance for Violin and Orchestra No 2 then followed before we heard Katherine Jenkins perform Puccini’s “One Fine Day” from his opera “Madame Butterfly”. Beethoven’s lively Rondo A Capriccio for piano was played by Alfred Brendel before we “went to Scandinavia” to hear the 3rd Movement from Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, Halvorsen’s Norwegian Dances and the 2nd Movement from Grieg’s Piano Concerto. The first half of the evening then concluded in a more modern relaxed style with Vera Lynn singing “White Cliffs of Dover” and Glen Miller getting us “In the Mood” for our interval refreshments. In the second half we watched the Amati Chamber Orchestra play Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Serenata Notturna. Thank you Douglas for an entertaining evening. We look forward to May’s meeting when we can each bring a CD with a selected track and “raffle” which ones to play.
