Cover Up

 

My friend, Jamison, shared a link to “The Worst Classical Album Covers Of All Time. Ever. Really. Part I” from classical 91.5 out of the University of Southern California and one of them seemed holiday appropriate enough that I’m making a whole post about them!

Ummmmmmm… !!!!!! 

 

I’m pretty sure this is also as good a time as any to put up this ol’ thang from a master class I did with her several years ago at U of M:

This is actually the SECOND picture I took with her.  In the first one I looked awful so you best believe I went back to get another one.  (That’s right, this incident was not the first time I had done that)

 

 

Obviously lighthearted fair like the Mario Brother’s theme aren’t included

 

I’ve already discussed on here previously how Brahms is a good part of your daily breakfast routine.  I do take a bit of exception with the title of this album, though, because I’m pretty sure that I’ve already proven that, in fact, SABRINA and I are the best of Brahms!!

 

And finally, with a bit of help from our friends in the German auto industry, Wagner’s Die Walkure

How Marvin Eats His Breakfast

 

Last night we had our first performance of Brahm’s Requiem at the Stewart Shell on the campus of Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.  The orchestra and choir have been rehearsing all week (it’s not called “intensive week” for nothin’) and this was our first opportunity to publicly present the piece before we head out on our European tour.

In honor of the event I thought I’d post a (relative) oldy but goody.  Sure, I could put up a movement from the Requiem but let’s be honest, y’all probably wouldn’t watch it.  Instead, here is AmericansForTheArts.org’s PSA about arts education featuring BRAHMS HIMSELF!!!
