Zapp - this is great! Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't realize it was the same person who did the Bartered Bride. I actually listened to three different versions of the specific track you recommended and this one was my favorite:
German-born musician and composer Nils Frahm, on the other hand, would make the ideal neighbour. It was in part to make sure he didn’t disturb the nocturnal rest of those around him that Frahm developed the calm intimacy of new album, Felt, by muting his piano. As he writes in the sleeve notes, "Originally I wanted to do my neighbours a favour by damping the sound... If I want to play piano during the quiet of the night, the only respectful way is by layering thick felt in front of the strings and using very gentle fingers." The result is a wonderful, intimate album that, while it won’t disturb the nocturnal respite of Frahm’s friends next door, provides the listener with nocturnal reverie.
Great Tom! I'm glad you like it; I thought you would. The Moldau is so gorgeous to me. It's pretty cool to check out the various phases that Smetena has the river flowing through and the ways he conveys that through the piece. I'm actually working on an essay type of thing for the site about instrumental music's ability to communicate and using that piece as a stepping stone since it was a huge part in developing my love for it.
