Piano music - tommag - 12-16-2023
On the armory, I posted a few YouTube links of boogie boogie piano. These were my way of unwinding after a stressful day.
I don't know if any of you have an appreciation of classical piano work, but pictures at an exhibition by Mussorgsky is my all time favorite concerto. It was originally written for piano, but is most commonly played as an orchestra concerto.
While I like the full orchestra versions, this piano version by Evgeny Kissen really speaks to me. He's a child prodigy from Russia. https://youtu.be/rH_Rsl7fjok?si=asPA3oAXOlFifjzQ

A little background might help. The concerto was written as a funeral tribute to an artist friend of Mussorgsky. Each movement was a musical interpretation of a painting by his diceased friend.

I like a little of every type of music but opera. Mostly prefer 1970s jazz and country. Can't stand today's version of "country."
