| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert,I just got the Sarasate set (4 CDs!). Youre right, Tianwa Yang is quite the violinist! I’m surprised she’s not better known.btw, In an earlier post, you mentioned that you saw Ashkenazy in a high school auditorium. That’s where I first s... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados jcazador,Thanks for that article on Debussy. Very informative, though it cut off in the middle for me. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados kef_lover,Master classes are fascinating. You can get into the way a master thinks, and yes, it is impressive the way the pianists can change their interpretation on the fly.That’s what you have to do when studying with any great teacher. Sometim... | |
