February Spirio Spotlight

A SPIRIO VALENTINE

A Spirio Valentine, Lang Lang’s Goldberg Variations, and A Musical Offering

We celebrate Valentine’s Day all month on Spirio with a new space dedicated to the many musical ways to celebrate the holiday of romance and friendship. Spirio favorite Francesco Parrino explores generations of pop tunes charged with emotion, and our Classical Valentine has lush melodies, drama and tenderness. There are hours of music to browse by theme and genre, and videos as well.

This month we are also pleased to present Lang Lang performing a selection from Bach’s increasingly popular keyboard work known as the Goldberg Variations. Recorded at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg as part of the launch of Spiriocast in Europe, this concert may now also be experienced as a Spiriocast On Demand for those with access to this new feature.

 

Another seminal work by Johann Sebastian is highlighted this month by the extremely talented pianist and composer Arseniy Gusev. His recent album on the Steinway Label explores the Musical Offering, a set of canons and fugues all built around a theme presented to Bach by Frederick the Great. Arseniy gives us a taste of the project in his Spirio set, which also can be viewed as a concert in our new Spiriocast On Demand area.

If you enjoy the music of Bach and other Baroque composers, you will also want to hear some new tracks from Steinway Artist Gerardo Teissonnière. He has recently recorded some of the wonderful sonatas of Antonio Soler, a Spanish composer of the late baroque period writing in this new form which blossomed in the classical era.
