Terrance: Where can I obtain a recording of the cello concerto, "Farewell to Philosophy?" And thank you for turning me on to Aldo Ciccolini's interpretation of Satie. He so gets him.
What is this amazing piece playing now (10:34). It's touching the depth of my soul. Thank you, Terrance. You're amazing.
Oops....Make that...Terrance. Terrance.
Terrence your show is beyond good. You are a gifted arranger. Thanks.
Before Ellington - "Three Sarabandes" by Eric Satie - Aldo Ciccolini,piano
What was the slow and classical piece right before the Duke Ellington song about 8:25. It was like a lullaby and was gorgeous.
What incredible music! I only wish there were more.... Thank you for the fantastic feature.
