Hi Toshi,

Thank you for your daily introduction of classical music. They're very helpful to me and I do appreciate your efforts. Hopefully you could still introduce gorgeous music from time to time.

[Julian]

Yes~ I agree with Kooper. It's nothing about box office. And I believe there are some people enjoy it in the same way.

Hi Kooper,

It's great to hear that!
I'd like to introduce some more classical music if you like! ^_^

8/21：Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia played by Perlman & Zukerman
(The last movement of George Frideric Handel's Harpsichord Suite in G minor (HWV 432) is a passacaglia which has become well known as a duo for violin and viola, arranged by the Norwegian violinist Johan Halvorsen.)

It doesn't seem available on the market. Sigh...
I prefer violin+viola to violin+cello version.
Somehow all the violin+cello performances on Youtube seem to compete with each other rather than collaborate.

8/25：J.S.Bach The Six Partitas 6th Suite in E minor BWV 830, 1.Toccata played by Glenn Gould

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-7FxauehkM

His performance, especially the first few minutes, is mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing.

Actually I found another version of his performance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsy33scgy2A

The sound quality after compressed is better.
But I prefer his previous performance. (Which one do you prefer?)
Enjoy it! ^_^

The above two video clips has gone. I found another two.


Between them, I like the 1st one,which has better audio quality and more inspiring - sounds like music coming down from heaven.

I also prefer the performance of Perlman & Zukerman. It's not because of the instruments. If you ever heard of their relationship, you will see why their music is so great. Please watch the following video. Maybe you can feel it too.


By the way, I also found another two versions of their performance in Youtube:




About CD collection, actually there is at least a version available in stock. Here it is:
Duets For Two Violins / Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman

One more famous version, performed by Jascha Heifetz and William Primrose:

I don't know if you care about the sound quality. Before, yes, I do care about the sound quality. But now I prefer rather the rhythm and the feeling. ^_^

Enjoy it!

By the way, violin + cello version, have you ever listen to this version?

I have this version. It's Glenn Gould Edition - Bach: Partitas, Preludes & Fugues, Sony
My favorite one. I enjoy it most of the time.



I think this version is quite special.
Sometimes I really enjoy it very much. Can't stop listening to it.
Yet sometimes I just feel it's awful. Can't even finish it at all.
I don't know why.

Pity, the sound quality seems not so good after compressed.
I really want to get the original video. Maybe it will be better!

Maybe you can compare the sound effect difference between
