While exploring through The New York Times website recently, I came across a review of an organ concert by Cameron Carpenter, an up-and-coming American organist known for his showmanship, technique, and his arrangements for organ.
Those who know me know that I am a big fan and student of Classical music. As we approach the start of the Fall 2009 semester, I thought I’d post one of my favorite orchestrations: Maurice Ravel‘s Le tombeau de Couperin, which was composed in 1919. As is wont in Ravel’s orchestrations, tonal color and __ are used rather effectively.
I hope you’ll agree with me in these two videos by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Esa-Pekka Salonen at the 2007BBC Proms. The first video has first two movements and the final video is the final two movements.
