Marvin Rosen (host) 8:22:21 AM
What a chef!!!
DSM 8:25:12 AM
That detuned piano section was haunting and beautiful
Marvin Rosen (host) 8:31:05 AM
This was the only work I am aware of for pianos in quarter tones by Hovhaness!
DSM 8:38:56 AM
I’ll have to look into other quarter tone works, and the gamelan and piano work so well together as well. Lovely sounds this morning.
Marvin Rosen (host) 8:41:02 AM
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying it!!
Billy O'Damit 8:49:10 AM
I keep hearing slight threads of a Rod Stewart late 70's disco song woven into that last song.
Christine 🦉 8:56:24 AM
Both the microtonal dual pianos and the pieces for piano & Javanese gamelan were beautiful and haunting.
Marvin Rosen (host) 8:57:59 AM
I am glad you enjoyed them!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!
Christine 🦉 9:00:32 AM
Happy Thanksgiving, Marvin! I am thankful for you and your excellent programs, and of course WPRB. 🌠
Marvin Rosen (host) 9:02:23 AM
Thanks so much Christine!!
Billy O'Damit 9:12:25 AM
Marvin, I'm new to your show and I'm learning a lot. I liked the idea of tuning a piano as tight as they did but I dont have enough xperience to notice it. I'm trying tho.
Marvin Rosen (host) 9:43:12 AM
Welcome to Classical Discoveries!! All you have to do is come with open ears and you will not only learn but you will also enjoy!!
Billy O'Damit 9:48:25 AM
I know nothing of classical music and the first thing I noticed by listening to your show is that the classical music of today is soundtracks. The average listener does not notice that but it was my introduction to real classical music and a refreshing break from "Classical Rock".
Patrick White (1) 9:48:50 AM
Thanks again Marvin.Classical Discoveries near the top of things to be thankful for.
Marvin Rosen (host) 9:51:52 AM
Thank you all for listening today!! Happy Thanksgiving!! Don't eat too much!
Christine 🦉 9:54:16 AM
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Marvin...don't eat too much yourself! 🍁🍃🍂 Enjoy
Marvin Rosen (host) 9:55:59 AM
I have to say, I am h8ungry!!
