David Dalle
Thursday September 1st, 2016 with David Dalle
Continuing with the Penderecki symphony cycle and his 4th symphony. Also music from eastern and southern Europe, and a Gloomy Sunday.

After a summer break, we are continuing the Krzysztof Penderecki symphony cycle with his 4th symphony from 1989. This work is subtitled “Adagio” because 3 of its 5 movements are set at slow tempo, yet the work could also have been subtitled “Ambivalent”, as this is the dominant emotional scope of this beautiful work. There is strong contrast between the slow movements and the short scherzo-fugato movements and despite a few powerful outbursts, the symphony veers towards ambivalence. As with the other symphonies in the cycle, this is a recording conducted by the composer. We will also hear music from Eastern and Southern Europe as well as several versions of Gloomy Sunday.

hello David, I am hosting a sryrian family picnic this weekend and wonder if you have any favorite Syrian artists who s work I might access on line that would be upbeat (no rap) ambient ,not so strange that the local country and western loving folks attending will not breakout in rashes . Thanks for all your work .Peter Bunnett

Peter: Re "sryrian family picnic this weekend " Maybe try Omar Souleyman? Very diverse. Lively dance music. (But still possibly rash-enducing to C&W (only) fans. ;^)

Also David , your listeners in Ottawa may not know about the line up for the Ottawa rhythm fest this Saturday. Possibly you could mention a bit of that. PB

Omar Souleyman is a good choice, very upbeat, secular wedding dancing music, I am sure all of your Syrian guests will be familiar with Dabke.
