Sundowner Programme 11 - Strings in the Spotlight. Programme description
Today’s easy listening is a selection of music for Violin and for Guitar.
We open with Johan Svendsen’s - Romance, Op. 26 and next up I have what is reputed to be the all-time favourite movement from a violin concerto – the slow movement from Max Bruch’s - Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor. If you listened to our programme on Monday evening this week you would have heard the full concerto. We started a new series which will feature all the instruments of the orchestra in the coming weeks, so the violin music tonight compliments Monday’s programme with some different aspects of the violin. I know you’re going to love this one!
We follow with two pieces by Pablo de Sarasate, - Danzas Españolas, Op. 21 - Malagueña and Habanera.
My next morsel for you is by Dmitri Shostakovich – three Pieces for 2 Violins & Piano - Gavotte, Elegy, and Waltz.
Astor Piazzolla is best known for his Libertango and that is in the next group, preceded by Oblivion and followed by his Ave Maria. These feature violin and guitar. Then a Hommage to Astor Piazzolla, written by Jean-Marie Lemarchand, a Tango, which features the violin with two guitars.
Our second-to-last item is Joseph Suk’s - Love Song, Op. 7 No. 1, and that is followed finally by an item from Peter Warlock’s Capriol Suite.
