Tír Na HiFi

We have two great works superbly played here....Kyung-Wha Chung’s virtuosity definitely brings something else to these two violin concertos.

Just a quick note here to mention a concert I am attending on Friday:-

Sibelius - Symphony No.4
Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No.1
Stravinsky - Petrushka

Kirill Karabits conductor Khatia Buniatishvili piano
BBC Symphony Orchestra

Lovely stuff Darren. I was aware of that concert as BBC R3 are broadcasting it live on Friday from eight o'clock so I'll have my recorder ready for action. Enjoy.

Prokofiev Piano Concerto 1 and 2
Lieutenant Kijé Suite
Excerpts from Romeo and Juliet

from my new box set that arrived this morning



Superb !!! And at a bargain price too.

I have the same cd fergus and enjoy it a lot. Grieg's output of chamber work is top notch in my opinion.

That is interesting Matt. I also like his chamber music a lot but unfortunately I do not have much of it at the moment. It is another area that I would like to explore much more!

Hooray !!!!! Jose Echenique is among us too!!! That is such a great news. Welcome to Tir Na Jose! I am super happy about your addition. Just the other day I was on "the other" forum and thought to myself that it would be great if you would join Tir Na since you are a member that I have always like a lot. Excellent choice Fergus!!!

Tir Na is amazing for me since it involves all my favorite members from "the other" forum plus many new ones that I am getting to know and appreciate.
