Sydney Opera House: Sydney Symphony

Hi Mates,

Last night I checked out a superb performance put on by the Sydney Symphony.

Here's the playlist:

Percy Grainger (1882-1961)

Danish Folk Music Suite

The Power of Love (...no not Huey Lewis and The News...lol)
Lord Peter's Stable-Boy
'The Nightingale' and "The Two Sisters'
Jutish Medley

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)

Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16


(this piece is familiar...you've heard the intro to this one...)

Allegro molto moderato
Adagio -
Allegro moderato molto e marcato

Arthur Honegger (1892-1955)

Lithurigal Symphony (Symphony No. 3)


(the piece reminded me of a WWII movie made in the 50s...actually the piece is a memorial piece in respects to the battlefronts in WWII...very true to form)

Dies irae (Allegro marcato)
Deprofundic clamavi (Adagio)
Dona nobis pacem (Andante)
