Today's YourClassical
free piece is from an album performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra. Alfred Walter is the conductor.
The album is produced/published by Naxos, and is entitled
Spohr - Symphonies No. 4. I had not heard of composer Louis Spohr before, so I was looking forward to hearing this
free piece from him.
Reading part of
the Naxos dedicated webpage for the album, it was interesting to note that Spohr was a friend of Beethoven's. That information also puts a date on Louis Spohr and his work, for those who are familiar enough with classical music or Beethoven to know the period of time in which he lived and did his work. BTW--there is quite a bit of additional interesting and helpful information on
that webpage about the album.
The particular piece that we can get
free from the album is
Jessonda: Overture. It is a 7 minute, 35 minute piece, as performed for this album. As with all of YourClassical's freebies, this one, too, is formatted in MP3. I found it to be a pleasant piece, somewhat musically complex, and free of a great range in high and low volume (a characteristic that I like in a classical piece, personally).
Follow the "Direct MP3 download link" on
YourClassical's dedicated webpage for the piece, in order to download the
free piece. Alternatively, or prior to downloading the piece, there is a feature, which is plain to see, on that same webpage, which you can use to also stream the piece.
