Listen to the first performance of our tour: Concerto in D minor for Two Violins (BWV 1043) by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed on June 22, 2007 with Maya Ramchandran and Lyly Li soloing on violin and Lisa Grodin conducting. This was performed in a small recording studio in Kaufman Center, near Juilliard. It will be interesting to see how the performance of this piece sounds towards the end of the tour, after a few more rehearsals and performances. Stay tuned!
Note that this recording sounds best when heard on headphones, as it was made using binaural recording techniques. This typically involves inserting small microphones in the ears of a dummy head (in this case, mine) to produce a realistic image of the sound, especially when played on headphones. Try it and send comments!
Thanks Mark and Keith for sharing some fun moments. I have a request for Bella Cubana if they're playing it!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great concert. The students there are K-8 and play a full range of instruments. They played an amazing contemporary piece which was really intense and 20 minutes long. Mary Lynn Miller leaned over to me and said, "There would be a great deal of wine consumed if Crowden had 2 hour concerts with this type of repertoire."
