Marcelle Meyer was a marvel, excelling at all she played, from early keyboard music to the latest works by composers she knew (Ravel, Debussy, Satie, Stravinsky, and other legends). Her 1940s-50s discs of Bach, Scarlatti, & Rameau are stupefying - shared here with background.

Celebrating Robert Schumann on his 216th birthday! 🎉 Fresh from our recent performance of Schumann’s much-loved Cello Concerto with Kian Soltani, we're taking a moment to celebrate the birthday of one of classical music’s most influential composers, and look back at this special performance with Steven Isserlis. Did you know, Schumann wrote his Cello Concerto in just two weeks in 1850? After the concerto’s publication in 1854, Schumann continued to correct proofs up until his death and this concerto was the last piece of music he worked on. #RobertSchumann #CelloConcerto #ClassicalMusic #OnThisDay

The older I get the more I understand women who disappear into gardening, books, comfy clothes and little routines. Like yes. That actually sounds perfect.
