iCaela: Classical Piano

I know, I know, I am the worst person in the world. Right now my life is far too hectic - I just haven't got the time to sit at the piano.

That kind of sounds like "I haven't got the time to breathe" to a part of me, but I really don't. There is too much going on at Casa Caela for such indulgences...

So here's one I prepared earlier - yes, I am turning into Janet Ellis - a not very polished recording of Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune. I used to dislike this piece greatly, which begs the question, "why do I bother with it?" - but it has grown on me.

Good music, shame about the pianist...

(Ellie is working towards a school concert at the end of May and I hope to sneak a few recordings from her. She's doing two Bach and a Beethoven.)

I haven't been able to update here as many times as I would've liked; too busy, too few excuses, and so on.

Two of my Christmas concerts have been; the big charity deal was a phenomenal success and we raised far more than we could have ever hoped for.

Anyway, a Merry Christmas to you. I hope you have a wonderful one, and a happy new year.

It's now only fourteen sleeps til Christmas...

This "White Christmas" isn't very me at all; I recorded it when I was up to my eyeballs with classical music, so it's gone in quite a different direction! Hope you like it all the same.

Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time ...

Ahem.

As promised, another Christmas song. Next update: probably Wednesday.

Christmas is on its way, and I intend to upload new Christmassy pieces every few days over the next couple of weeks. For now, this is "Christmas" (December) from Tchaikovsky's Seasons.

More at the weekend ...
