Prelude Posters - Chopin Raindrop Prelude - 24 Preludes op. 28 by Chopin

"I tell my piano the things I used to tell you."  - Chopin

Chopin's gifted sensitivity as performer / composer had a powerful impact on the evolution of music.  His novel harmonic language, evocatively embellished melodies, and breakthrough use of the smallest form to capture sometimes single musical feelings and often highly varied expression created a path for the impressionists and beyond.  The Preludes, which traverse through all 24 harmonic keys in the manner Bach established, have been named, renamed, and enjoyed as sometimes programatic compositions even though they were never intended this way by the composer.  Here is our take on the Raindrop Prelude.

Prelude Posters - Scheherezade by Rimsky-Korsakov

"I think it is a thousand times better to compose in direct contact with the physical medium of sound than to work in the abstract medium produced by one's imagination."  - Rimsky-Korsakov

Scheherezade by the great Russian master of orchestration, Rimsky-Korsakov, is a perennially popular work whose colorful tone painting always showcases fine orchestras and orchestral section leaders.  Gergiev's performance with Vienna is one of the finest available for online listening.  Gergiev is brilliant at bringing out the ferocious qualities in music which have softened during centuries of performance, in particularly composers from his own country, Russia.
