<doh> cello

Bruch's Kol
Bloch's Schelomo

still working on a minstrel

YES! Yes and yes... and ... your searches will be aided by using the French 'ménéstral'

[Nick Armstrong]

Cali - it has struck me that Kol Nidrei by Bruch has a Cello solo. The other two link to tunes by Glazunov and Bloch. Am I being presumptious in considering a D. But it was merc who led me there. I was Clueless before.

And yes sir, but do explain!

Up to you and mercia about the D... You're both there

[mercia]

no definitely your call, cloughie, I was nowhere near that Glazunov - your French is obviously much better than mine

I shall now acquaint myself with the Chant du Menestrel (or Menestral) opus 71

I shall now acquaint myself with the Chant du Menestrel* (or Menestral)

But you got the rest merc!

I guess I better Anna Slaw this

Kol Nidre - or "All Vows" - Max Bruch, completed in Liverpool (acc. wiki)
Schelomo - Rhapsodie Hebraique - cello concerto by Ernest Bloch , the cello representing the voice of King Solomon (is Schelomo Hebrew for Solomon ? )
Chant du Menestrel (or menestral) - opus 71 - Alexander Glazunov - either cello/piano or orchestral arrangement

Worth it. It's nice. Great coupling with DSCH's wonderful funky 2nd Cello Conc. on this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shostakovich.../dp/B00000E4QE (I'd buy 'used' - look at those 'new' prices )

I had it on cassette very early in my 'music career'... I see they've shoved some Tchaikovsky with it on the CD release

[mercia]

well I have a very tedious D, I'm sure cloughie's is more interesting


a D obscurely connecting

- 4 taxi horns used orchestrally
- Liszt's second symphonic poem
- Kodachrome

Did you have a career in marketing, mercs?

Makes me think 'American in Paris' but no Ds there...

a strange looking painting on the front of that CD - a sort of cello graveyard

no Ds at all? .......... an early performance ?

Yes odd isn't it. The original LP and cassette release which I had was just a pic of Seiji and Mstislav doing their thing: http://www.amazon.com/Shostakovich-G.../dp/B0036WB6DO

... just dashing out so must leave for others! puzzling!

probably better marketing other people's products than my own
or perhaps that's what you meant
