Two Pianos: Songs & Chamber Music

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Between the 1940s and 1950s, Irish sisters Joan and Valerie Trimble entertained Europe through the radiowaves of the BBC, on their Tuesday Serenade series. The two-piano arrangements by Joan Trimble are played impeccably well on this disc by Una Hunt and Roy Holmes, but there's a lot more to Trimble than just the light miniatures she composed based on English and Irish folksongs. Trimble's Sonatina for Two Pianos showcases some of her most forward-thinking writing (though it never ventures into atonality). Pastorale--Hommage à F. Poulenc reveals a love for French compositions, and the songs included here on The County May song cycle (featuring baritone Joe Corbett) showcase Trimble's more serious side. Truth be told, Trimble's best work is still the short pieces for duo pianos ("The Cows are a-milking," "Gartan Mother's Lullaby")--it's cute stuff. This disc features good performances of this seldom-recorded composer. --Jason Verlinde

Customer Reviews:

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Average customer rating: Mill. Classical review classical music for the unitiated Some little gems there that I had forgotten! A very helpful collection Excellent!
