"This video features a mashup performance of the last movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, with 24 different pianists. This is in honor of Beethoven’s 250th birthday, which was on December 16, 2020. Happy Birthday, Beethoven!"
"This is a terrific performance from a “youth orchestra” performing at the Proms. (The Youth Orchestra is probably comparable to the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, which is HARDLY at a youth orchestra level)."
"This is HISTORY! A great piece...Mozart's Sinfonie Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra. Yehudi Menuhin is conducting the Moscow Phil. David Oistrakh is soloing with his son Igor Oistrakh....and David Oistrakh is playing....VIOLA! (Who knew????)"
"This is a vintage performance of the Bach Double Violin Concerto. It features two virtuoso violinists of the time: Yehudi Menuhin and David Oistrakh. On the surface it would seem an unusual partnership, because Menuhin was known as a “gentle, beautiful sound, and musical warmth” violinist, whereas Oistrakh was known as a “muscular, virtuosic, profound” violinist. Admittedly, those generalizations are unfair, but still they were distinctly very different violinists.
