I think I made it to Friday. Let me check that Thursday is ACTUALLY over... Last we spoke I was saying my Pay Day was to be jam packed with activity. Boy was it ever. I thought it would never end. I had made good progress through my list. So much so, I eliminated the last errand as it had become unnecessary. I was winding down getting ready to head off to some much deserved rest. And then the phone rang...
It was my boss of course saying some waste-oid had called in for some flimsy excuse or another (For a waste-oid, almost any one will do!) and wanting me to cover the shift. I did it of course, but by the time I did get around to getting that much needed rest, it was nigh onto 10 PM. As a result, both my body clock and my schedule are kinda whacked today. No matter, after truck night, I have the weekend off and all will be OK! Luckily as I began my process to put this post together, a beautiful thing popped up in my You Tube Subscriptions In Box. I would thus like to share it with you now.
Today's Musical Moment is the first recording ever released of the Sonata for Cello and Piano by Dimitri Shostakovich. The recording is by the Moscow Radio House from 1959 and features the Composer himself at the Piano and Mstislav Rostropovich as the Cellist. It is a monaural recording, yet the mystery of Shostakovich and the rich masterful tones of Rostropovich ring out in this marvelous classic recording. Fast forward a few years and you will find this performance of the Shostakovich Cello Concerto Number 1 by Eugene Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra with Yo Yo Ma as the Soloist to be equally intriguing. You may hear that recording over on my tumblr.
Then Friday would not be Friday with just a bit of Fantasy Fuel which you will find posted down below. There is also the Hottie of the Day! who wants to take you on a Picnic in the Park over on my tumblr. Thanks for the visit, stop in tomorrow for another Fabulous Live Saturday Evening Concert, see you then. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
