Weekly Classical Music Recommendation

September 3, 2020 By Thuy H Nguyen

Weekly Classical Music Recommendation

I’ve been on and off sick for the last 2 weeks so there hasn’t been any classical music recommendation 🙁 or regular blog posts. I got a bacterial skin infection and then got a bad allergic reaction to the prescribed antibiotics, so I had to go to urgent care twice. It was unfortunate because it was right during the first week of school. But everything got sorted out now so I’m back yayy!

I’ve been wanting to recommend this piece so much but I didn’t have the time to until now. Here’s Liszt’s Reminiscenses de Norma, the paraphrase of the opera Norma by Bellini. The piece is an absolute fiery, grand masterpiece (after listening to it I was like La Campanella is overrated this is the best Liszt piece ever, but my phase might change LOL). The piece is packed with different emotions, yet overflowed with beautiful melodies (and of course, extremely difficult technical passages T.T). Please please please give it a try if you have time :).
