Prélude n°1 aux tubes musicaux (boomwhackers)



Here's something you don't see every day with classical music, especially something so entertaining.  If I'm not mistaken, it sounds like Bach's Prelude in C which was a favorite from piano lessons many years ago.

Vänskä Conducts Strauss' Metamorphosen for Strings



Music Director Osmo Vänskä and 23 Minnesota Orchestra string musicians performed Richard Strauss’ Metamorphosen on September 12, 2020, as part of the first concert inside Orchestra Hall since mid-March, co-produced with TPT and Minnesota Public Radio. Listen to a selection from this powerful work.

As World War II came to a close, 80-year-old Strauss faced a deep, internal struggle surrounding his own career, his idealism, and despair for things lost. Metamorphosen is composed for 23 independent string voices that come together in a united river of sound, embodying this melancholy and soul-searching time.

Music and the inner self | James Rhodes | TEDxMadrid


In times of superficiality and exteriority, we need to learn to look into ourselves, and truly listening to music is a great way of doing this. Music is a trustable friend that can save you even in your darkest moments.

James Rhodes is one of the most important concert piano players of our times and a great innovator of classical music. He has been the subject of documentaries for BBC and Channel 4, he writes for The Guardian and performs in concerts all around the world. His Sunday Times and international bestselling memoir, Instrumental, published by Canongate, is a brutally honest, moving, and compelling story that was almost banned until the Supreme Court unanimously overthrew an injunction in May 2015.

Audiovisual producer: Daniel Goldmann. Editing: Xavi Fortino. Film team: Elena Salcedo, Josep Fernández, Daniel Davidson, Nicolás Mazzini, Nacho Valentín, David Ramos, Ignacio Fuentes y Fran Rubio
