Hi!! Do u have any recs for someone who knows practically nothing abt classical music? I've been studying music theory and I feel it's a good genre to learn from :)

sure thing! however, i just want to talk about two things beforehand.

first, classical music differs from other genres of music in that the recording matters. this is because different performers have different interpretations of the music, among other reasons. for this purpose, i have provided my recommendations for recordings with the pieces ill be listing, however i strongly encourage you to find what you like the most.

the second thing i want to talk about is basically me getting into semantics. there are a few different eras of classical music, and they are all stylistically different. the main eras are the baroque era (~1600-1750), the classical era (~1750-1830), the romantic era (~1830-1920), and post-romantic/contemporary classical (~1920-present). i just want to point this out because the stylistic contrast between these eras is quite pronounced, and will help explain some things.

and with my ramblings out of the way, here are my recs!

Baroque:

Antonio Vivaldi - La Folia (Op. 1 No. 12) (Il Giardino Armonico [ensemble])

Johann Sebastian Bach - The Art Of Fugue (BWV 1080) (Joanna MacGregor [pfte.])

Alberto Ginastera - Piano Sonata No. 1 (Terence Judd [pfte.]) *

Maurice Ravel - Introduction and Allegro, for Harp, Flute, Clarinet, and String Quartet (Skaila Kanga [hrp.], Academy of St. Martin in the fields)

* - this piece is fuckin SPICY. you have been warned.

** - if you're interesting in music history you should look up the backgrounds surrounding these ones

*** - the recording quality is shit

so yeah. i prefer more modern music so i put quite a few more modern works on the list than most people would.

anyways, happy listening!

Who is Catrin Finch? Everything you need to know about the Welsh harpist

Finch was appointed the first Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales since the reign of Queen Victoria

Who is Catrin Finch?

Catrin Finch is a Welsh harpist and composer. She was the Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales from 2000 to 2004 and is currently a visiting professor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music in London. As a composer, she has recently undertaken commissions from Ballet Cymru, S4C and the National Eisteddfod of Wales.

How old is Catrin Finch?

Catrin Finch was born on 24 April, 1980

Where was Catrin Finch born?

Finch was born in Llanon, Ceredigion, in Wales to a half-German mother and an English father.

When did she first learn to play the harp?

Finch began learning the harp at the age of six. Prodigiously talented, she passed her Grade 8 examination at the age of nine, going on to join the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain at the age of ten. She attended specialist music school the Purcell School, before studying at London's Royal Academy of Music with Skaila Kanga.

Where does Catrin Finch live?

Finch lives outside of Cardiff with her partner Natalie, who she married in 2019. She was previously married to music and television producer Hywel Wigley, son of harpist Elinor Bennett, a former teacher of Finch. Wigley and Finch have two children.

What is Catrin Finch famous for?

In 2000, Finch was asked whether she would like to become the Royal Harpist to The Prince of Wales. Prince Charles was interested in reviving the ancient office, last filled during the reign of Queen Victoria, and was impressed by Finch’s achievements, including winning the Lily Laskine International Harp Competition in 1999 and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York in 2000 (both while she was a student at the Royal Academy of Music). Finch accepted and continued in the post from 2000 to 2004.

She has performed with many of the best orchestras in the world, including the New York Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the Boston Pops, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and the English Chamber Orchestra, and has toured throughout Europe, north and south America and the Middle East.

HI, so this is me playing a piece called “The royal boat” from the “Minstrel’s Gallery” book by Skaila Kanga. Its a fun easy piece for me to play compared to the g6 peices I have to play.

Please excuse any slightly out of tune notes bc I just tuned the harp and he’s still new so the strings have not streached yet.

The harp is called Jasper and he is the educational place that I go to’s harp.

Don’t hate, stay safe and check in on your mutuals. <3

Catrin Finch

"Catrin has done more than anyone in harp history to bring her instrument to a wider public...."

“Internationally renowned harpist Catrin Finch is one of the most accomplished harpists of her generation, and has been delighting audiences with her performances across the UK and worldwide, since the age of five.

She started her studies in Wales with Elinor Bennett, achieving the highest mark in the UK for her Grade 8 ABRSM exam at the tender age of nine, and then went on to study at The Purcell School and the Royal Academy of Music with Skaila Kanga, graduating with the Queens Commendation for Excellence in 2002.  

In 2000 she had the honour of reviving the ancient tradition of Royal Harpist to H.R.H, the Prince of Wales, a position she held until 2004, which was last held during Queen Victoria’s reign in 1873.

Since then, she has performed extensively throughout the USA, South America, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and Europe, both as a soloist, and appearing with many of the world’s top orchestras...”

“I Need You to Turn To” - the second track on the A-side of Bernie Taupin and Elton John’s self-titled second album, Elton John (1970)

“Instrumentation is sparse, for the most part; Elton plays harpsichord, Skaila Kanga harp, and there's understated guitar present by someone named Roland Harker in the mix as well- and of course, the Buckmaster string section. The melody itself reminds me more than a bit of the carol "What Child is This" aka "Greensleeves".” - Johnny Bacardi on Solar Prestige A Gammon (a blog)

Notable covers:

Edward Wodward - on the album Love Is The Key (1977)

Lyrics:

You're not a ship to carry my life You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here For I need your love your love protects my fears

And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind But I need you to turn to when I act so blind And I need you to turn to when I lose control You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Did you paint your smile on, well I said I knew That my reason for living was for loving you We're related in feeling but you're high above You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove

Hi, Kaelin. I'd like a reccomendation for some classical music. I really enjoy music that has a wistul, melancholic feeling. What would you suggest?

oh okay i have a lot of this kind of vibe. i think

Alfred Schnittke - Cello Concerto No. 1, Mvt. 4

Link: [Spotify] [YouTube] (Performed by Natalia Gutman, Gennady Rozhdesvenetsky, and the USSR Ministry of Culture Symphony Orchestra)

this ones a bit more modern than some of the others and may be a bit much but i think it fits. im probably wrong though

Maurice Ravel - Introduction and Allegro for harp, flute, clarinet, and string quartet

Link: [Spotify] [YouTube] (Performed by Skaila Kanga and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields)

this is a lovely work that ive grown very fond of. it just brings out the feels

Arvo Pärt - Fratres (for violin and piano)

Link: [Spotify] [YouTube] (Performance by Tasmin Little and Martin Roscoe)

Mad Mandolin Man, Neil Sedaka and the man from Edelweiss

Mad Mandolin Man, Neil Sedaka and the man from Edelweiss

I’m at one of the biggest dinner parties I’ve ever been to, maybe 40 people around the table.

About ten seats down to my left is a dark-haired and very pretty woman. I feel sure I know her.

Then someone says: “Norma, pass the potatoes?”

“Norma! That’s who you are,” I call down the table, like she doesn’t know. “The tape op at CBS.”

She looks at me for a few seconds, scrolling back 20 years…
