Music for the end of the year

CD of the year for me has to be the double disc of Dvořák trios by these three!  — as I said here, just wonderful. And the great reviews keep coming.

Over the year, I have posted some links to particularly delightful performances available as videos. For example

Here is Beatrice Rana, playing Bach BWV 1052 with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta.More Bach, from the prodigiously gifted Noa Wildschut, plainly enjoying herself performing the E major Violin Concerto, BWV 1042.And here is Elisabeth Brauss and two members of the Halle playing Beethoven’s Gassenhauer Trio, again obviously enjoying themselves.Elisabeth and Noa now play together frequently (recently on a concert tour of Australia); but here they are a few years ago with Alexander Warenberg, playing Schubert’s first piano trio D. 898 — just stunning for players so young.And more Schubert, this time András Schiff playing one of my most favourite pieces, the late Drei Klavierstücke D 946.Then last but not least, a simply joyous performance of the Mendelssohn Octet, by Janine Jansen and some mostly young musicians.

Enjoy! And very best for 2024.
