Alexandra Grot: Monday YouTube Fix

Andrew Hitz

Here is Alexandra Grot performing some Bach live in Munich in 2008.

The flute takes the second most air of any wind instrument and she does a great job of breathing in places that doesn't interrupt the music. This is particularly hard in unaccompanied pieces and she does a great job of modeling it.

Enjoy!

PROJECT Trio: Monday YouTube Fix

Andrew Hitz

PROJECT Trio is an incredible ensemble that blends a whole lot of musical styles to create their own genre. This clip is a great example of what they do.

I love the creativity of the arrangement juxtaposed with the virtuosity of the articulations at the beginning. They are hard to describe and that is a good start to be successful in today's crowded music business.

Enjoy!

NEW ALBUM IS OUT! Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/instrumental/id865307861 CD Baby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/project8 Aw snap, they're at it again! These guys will jack up anything and make it their own. Rossini was a hot target for us ever since our first trip to to the Black Forrest spa town of BAD WILDBAD, which is of course as awesome as it sounds.
