• Robert Farnon Conducting The London Phlharmonic Orchestra - 100th Anniversary Concert | DVD | (13/10/2008) from £9.45   |  Saving you £0.54 (5.40%)   |  RRP £9.99

  On Sunday 31 January 1971 a capacity audience filled London's Royal Albert Hall for one of a series of special concerts to mark the centenary of this world-famous venue. This DVD features the London Philharmonic Orchestra performing compositions and arrangements by Robert Farnon with the maestro conducting, and after thirty-six years it is wonderful to see Farnon again in full command of the forces of one of Britain's great symphony orchestras. During his long career he conducted all of the four major symphony orchestras of the capital. By the time that this concert was staged Farnon had been in demand in concert halls throughout Europe and America, where he appeared at Carnegie Hall. He had made highly praised recordings with Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Joe Williams, Lena Horne, Eileen Farrell, Vera Lynn, Sheila Southern and Tony Bennett, and with Tony Bennett it was only natural that they should be paired for this very prestigious event celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Albert Hall. Robert Farnon was widely regarded as the world's greatest composer of Light Orchestral music during the second half of the twentieth century. He was also revered as an arranger of superb quality, having influenced most of the top writers on both sides of the Atlantic during the second half of the 20th century. A great lover of jazz, some of his closest friends were Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Sir George Shearing, George Benson and J.J. Johnson. TRACK LISTING 1.

  Don Cherry (1936-1995) created an influential legacy by contrasting his Bebop-style Jazz with genres such as Free Jazz and World music. His rise to prominence came in the late 1950s performing Free Jazz with Ornette Coleman. Their music not only shook up the Jazz community with their avant garde sound and inventive compositional structure, but became part of the liberating social revolution that resonated in 1960s American culture. '...one of the most lyrical and important jazz trumpeters'- ...

  Founded in 1964 the Guarneri String Quartet is considered preeminent in its interpretations of the Beethoven string quartets and has presented the complete cycle to audiences around the world.Part of the magic of a string quartet is that it is simultaneously vast yet intimate. As broad in its form as a symphony a quartet relies on a small group of players to articulate thoughts and feelings as personal as a conversation between friends or lovers. No other musical form not the symphony or the sonata spans Beethoven's life so fully as his sixteen string quartets.The Quartet in F minor played first on this program is a visionary work which looks toward the 20th century. An economy of gesture and intense psychological probing create a powerful new world of high tension and fury. The Quartet in C Major last of the Rasumovsky trio of quartets Beethoven merged the expansive canvas of the symphony with the more intimate world of chamber music to convey a very powerful yet deeply personal vision of the human condition.This program was videotaped at the magnificent Old Westbury House and surrounding gardens on Long Island thirty miles east of Manhattan. The mansion built in the style of a late 17th-century English manor house provides an environment similar to the settings for which Beethoven's quartets were written and first performed.Contains the following works:Quartet No. 9 in C Major Op. 59 No. 3 RasumovskyQuartet No. 11 in F minor Op. 95 Quartetto serioso
