METAMORPHOSEN

PUBLISHED August 29th, 2014 06:22 am | UPDATED May 9th, 2018 03:13 am

Kam Ning and Albert Tiu team up for Mendelssohn’s Double Concerto for Violin and Piano, a work composed when he was just fourteen. One of Strauss’ final masterpieces, Metamorphosen was written in 1945 in reaction to the wartime destruction of several German cities. Underlying this poignantly beautiful work, which was originally scored for seven string instruments, is a sense of despair and nostalgia.

Gary is one of those proverbial jack of all trades… you know the rest. When not writing about lifestyle and culture, he dabbles in photography, graphic design, plays four instruments and is a professional wearer of bowties. His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
