WMV Music Web Log

I noticed recently that we were getting some traffic from a link on an Italian blog: http://blogregular.splinder.com/post/15757641

Although I am a classically trained musician, my Italian is still lousy, so David got his friend Rima to attempt a translation:

"Searching for Dvorak, I came across this donation page that contains mp3s of
this ensemble of Washington DC. Other than op. 81, not sure to be at the level
suggested by Marion [the Rubenstein/Guarneri recording in the Marion link],
but nevertheless listenable(?) (after the first movement it seems to they recover/catch up), and apart from other masterworks of the classical and romantic
repertoire, there are things here that are quite original. Like the premiere
performance of DRD4 of James Brody, a chamber music transcription of the
genetic sequence of the Dopamine Receptor D4 - responsible, so it seems, for
a good part of our madness. As they say, living music!"

Thanks, Rima, and Viva Italia! I don't mind us being compared to Rubenstein and the Guarneri.
