Argghhh! Internet outage!
I just now got back on, thankfully. I was about to need to be put in a rubber room.
Before I give you today's YourClassical
freebie, which I know that some of you will fail to see before the changeover to another one late tonight (EST), an archive (at least one) exists of the daily freebies. I'll look up the webpage for the archive and post it, on this thread, for you as soon as I reasonably can. So, you still can grab today's
freebie, and do so at your convenience.
Brahms. That's who composed today's YourClassical
freebie. The song is
Serenade No. 2: V. Rondo.
Naxos is the one who has provided the piece, as they so often do, not only on YourClassical, but also elsewhere. The piece is taken from their album
Brahms - Symphony No. 2 - Serenade No.2. It appears that the whole album is made up of tracks performed by the BRT Philharmonic Orchestra, Brussels, with Alexander Rahbari as conductor. Some inquistive peeps among us may wish to follow
this link, where you will find a dedicated Naxos webpage for the album (but the information is pretty sparse this time).
Stream the
free piece, from
this webpage, if you want to see if you're interested in taking the step of downloading it, or just only want to listen to it for some other reason. If you like what you hear, or if you're like me and download all of the YourClassical freebies (I
know that every one is going to be good, at least), make sure that you're at
the webpage that I just gave you the URL for, above. Then click on the "Direct MP3 download link" to download the MP3!
I think that the piece is excellent. The piece is becalming, which is a characteristic that I generally like in a classical music piece.
Oh, I almost forgot--this rendition of
Serenade No. 2: V. Rondo runs 6 minutes and 33 seconds long.
