Classical Music Hour!
Today I’m highlighting this excellent recording of Elliott Carter’s “Double Concerto for Harpsichord & Piano”.
Conducted by Gutstav Meier this is a pretty masterful performance. The melodic keyboards are set against a very busy and dissonant orchestra with a great percussion section that deserves to be played loud and rattle the windows.
Igor Stravinsky called this composition a “masterpiece” so who am I to argue?
