LGBT強化月 今日はBarberさんのAdagio for Stringsを紹介しますね。20世紀前半のアメリカにおいてゲイの作曲家として、彼氏のMenottiさんとは音楽業界での佳話でもあった(なぜか日本語のWikiには紹介されてないね〜汗)。残念ですが、18歳からの恋は結局四十年後終了しました。このCDの面白いところは、指揮者はLeonard Bernstein、次回紹介する20世紀一番重要な音楽家、指揮者の一人でもあります。 このAdagio for Stringsは聴く人が悲しいと思いますけど、実は作者一番幸せの時に書かれていたと思われています。未来の不安？最後の自分の恋の結末見えてきたから？などなど〜本人しか誰もわかりませんね。ぜひ一度お聴きになっていただければ〜 As one of the famous gay composer, Samuel Barber is famous for Adagio for Strings, which is a sad song made in his happiest moment in life, I didn’t read so much but can guess becoming a gay at that time was not easy, and I don’t know if this is why this Adagio sounds so sad because he experienced or felt the reality of the world even he was happy at that moment? The reason I picked up this version of record is because it was conducted by Leonard Bernstein, which is of course one of greatest composers, conductors in 20th century, but also a famous musician in closet (at least for most of his life). #pridemonth #lgbt #adagioforstrings https://www.instagram.com/p/CBf2-IjHwkj/?igshid=1dc0ikneqbmvb

#day82 of #100daysofpractice - an amazing night, truly #gershwinning 💙🌟💙 @kafeeny played up a storm during #rhapsodyinblue, Laura wove a poem on flute, and our conductor got the whole audience to close their eyes during the #adagioforstrings as the intention is to reach down into your soul and take hold of it. I was concerned about this concert because I had missed a few out of the 4 rehearsals but #westsidestory came together with only a few wobbles. Especially impressed with Abner who did the clarinet "profane solo" in Gershwin - having come from a house where clarinet lessons were part of the background noise I was on the edge of my seat for that solo 😰 high as a kite afterwards drumming and whistling out the rhythms, I'm sure it was a nightmare 😂 standing ovation well deserved for the soloists 🌹🌹🌹 and flowers and treats too! Thank you so much to everybody who came out 🎶💙🎶 swipe through to see a snippet of the Rhapsody - thanks @monica.bras.silva 💐 spent a lot of today going over #Bernstein lectures . . . . . . . .
