J S Bach Prelude from Cello Suite #1
Performed by Steve Freides
"Without A Song"
Performed by Steve Freides
"Without A Song" has been performed and recorded in every style
imaginable - fast, slow, Latin. This is my quiet take on the tune, which is one of my all-time favorites.
Music by Vincent Youmans,
Lyrics by Billy Rose and Edward Eliscu
Published in 1929
First recorded by Perry Como in 1951
"Andante", from the well-known guitar method
Opus 27, by Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841)
I played a piece simply titled, "Andante"
which is a tempo (speed)
indicator more than an actual title, but that's because it's
from Carulli's guitar method, Opus 27
John is playing an instrument made by Australian luthier John Price,
and I am playing a Dieter Hopf. The recordings were made with a Zoom
H2, a small portable recorder with built-in microphones, sitting on
the music stand in front of us.
Hope you enjoy them.
