Discovery Orchestra Chat 26 – Did You Say Flamenco?
Maestro Maull and guitarist John Carlini investigate one of the musical aspects that makes “Spanish guitar” sound the way it does.
I just listened to the first episode of this (Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony) and can’t believe how fortunate I was to run across this on Prime. I have heard Maull lecture many times before performances and now here he is right on my computer screen and with the clearest of visual aids. I promise if you listen to one of these you will understand a piece as never before. And, I have discovered from past experiences with his lectures that I always listen to any given piece with a greater connection. These “home” viewings of Maull’s lectures are such a gift! Highly recommended.
