A very fresh video of Martha Argerich's rehearsal of Schumann's Piano Concerto with Lahav Shani and Rotterdam Philharmonic. Saturday, she's performing in Vienna. 🥂

I will say goodbye today by wishing you a joyful First Day of Advent with Wiener Philharmoniker and ”Es ist ein Ros entsprungen“ (A rose has sprung up), a Christmas song from the 16th century.

Johan Halvorsen's "Passacaglia and Sarabande with variations on a theme by Handel", based on Handel's Passacaglia from Suite in G minor, HWV 432, performed by Pinchas Zukerman and Itzhak Perlman. (1997) Have a great Sunday!

Today, I bring a small homage to Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Brahms' Ballade Op. 10 No. 4 in B major, through Michelangeli's hands, works like Xanax.
