bombarde32 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Also Leroy Anderson (100 years since birth) Giacomo Puccini (150 years) John Blow (300 years dead) and Edward Macdowell (100 years) Any of these composers' music would be infinitely preferable to listen to (or play) than Messian for me (personal opinion!!!)

handsoff Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 According to Wikipedia [yes, I know.....] César Franck was born on this day in 1822. I shall play some of his music later.... I, in February, share a birthday with Widor, Segovia and Delibes, not to mention W.H. Auden, Douglas Bader (to whom a sort of semi-uncle of mine was batman during WWII), Nina Simone and Wish Bone, an American rapper. Mmmmm Oh God, and Robert Mugabe.

HarmonicsV Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Olivier Messiaen was born on December 10, 1908. I guess that sets my listening programme for today. A great day! I'll be going to this: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/music/pro...y-concert-17948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavecin Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My wife and I celebrated this afternoon by attending a performance of 'La Nativite' at Blackburn Cathedral, played by Richard Tanner DoM. Richard played very well and the organ sounded absolutely superb. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Allison Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 attending a performance of 'La Nativite' at Blackburn Cathedral, played by Richard Tanner DoM. Richard played very well and the organ sounded absolutely superb. I was at Armley on sunday (along with Ron Poole, another board member) to hear Graham Barber play 'La Nativite', again, nice performance ( not that I would know, too modern for me) and organ was in fine fettle as well. and he let me record it too Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
