Phillip Sear plays an evocation of New Year delights in an Alpine village by the German cellist and composer Günther Bartel (1833-1911) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know much about the life of Günther Bartel, except that he came from Sondershausen, Germany, where his father was Town Musician, was a cello student of August Franchomme (who had played with Chopin) and spent some time in Russia, Scotland (where he was a cellist in the orchestra of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh from 1855-60) and finally Dusseldorf, where he taught piano, theory and singing. Bartel was a good friend of the Scottish composer, Sir Alexander Mackenzie, who, as a boy, had lodged for some time at his father's house in Sondershausen while studying music in Germany. I assume that the title of this piece refers to a generic Alpine village, and not to the resort of Alpendorf in Austria. My thumbnail illustration is based on a tourist board image of an inn in Kitzbuhel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
