N. Y.My City, my beloved, my white! Ah, slender,Listen! Listen to me, and I will breathe into thee a soul.Delicately upon the reed, attend me!Now do I know that I am mad,For here are a million people surly with traffic;This is no maid.Neither could I play upon any reed if I had one.My City, my beloved,Thou art a maid with no breasts,Thou art slender as a silver reed.Listen to me, attend me!And I will breathe into thee a soul,And thou shalt live for ever.Ezra PoundHaydnSymphony No. 49 "La Passione"AdamsThe Wound-dresserSchubertSymphony No. 8 "Unfinished"BergThree Orchestral PiecesDigital download with covers and some booklets BachPiano Concerto No. 1SchoenbergPiano ConcertoMozartSymphony No. 36Emanuel Ax pianoRachmaninovSymphony No. 2ProkofievPiano Concerto No. 2Yefim Bronfman pianoChristopher RouseOdna ZhiznSymphonies Nos. 3 & 4Prospero's RoomsStravinskyThe Rite of SpringRespighiPines of RomeFountains of RomeTchaikovskySymphony No. 2StuckySon et LumiereBerliozLes Nuits d´etéMussorgskyPictures at an ExhibitionJoyce DiDonato mezzosopranoMussorgskyNight on Bald MountainRimsky-KorsakovScheherazadeMozartGreat Mass in C minorJennifer Zetlan sopranoJennifer Johnson […]
