Something Baroque, Something Romantic (Part Three)

Note: I'm learning how to embed videos as an option, so bear with me.  The formatting in this post could be a bit better.  Anyone who has some suggestions, they are welcome.


Baroque:


Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) - Violin concerto in A major "Les Rainettes (The Three Frogs)" TWV 51:A4 - I: Allegro.  Unknown composition date.








Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) - Toccata and Psalm XIII.  Unknown CD


Classical:


Wynton Marsalis Playing Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837)  Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra in E major, S49, WoO1 III: Rondo - Composed in 1803.  Hummel wrote his trumpet concerto in honor of Anton Weidinger (1766-1852), the inventor of the keyed trumpet.




Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra in D minor, Wq. 23 I: Allegro - Composed in 1748

Romantic:


Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Swan Lake Ballet Suite, Opus 20 - Composed in 1876.


Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) Symphony No. 2 in C major "Resurrection" - Composed in 1894.  This video includes the entire symphony performed by the University of California, Davis Symphony.  It's over an hour long.  Enjoy!

20th Century:


George Gershwin (1898-1937) Rhapsody in Blue for Piano and Jazz Band.  Composed in 1924.  Here is Gershwin performing his own piece.
