OTD in Music History: Composer Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904) leads the London Philharmonic in the world premiere of his immortal Cello Concerto, with English cellist Leo Stern (1862 - 1904) playing the soloist’s part. It is immediately hailed as a masterpiece, and to this day, it is widely hailed as the finest cello concerto ever written. Upon hearing it for the first time, Dvorak's good friend Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897) allegedly remarked: “Why on Earth didn’t I know that one could write a cello concerto like this? If I had only known, I would have written one myself long ago…” The first Bohemian composer to truly achieve worldwide recognition, Dvorak is notable for the strong "nationalist" bent of his music. Bedrich Smetana (1824 - 1884) -- Dvorak’s senior by 17 years -- had already laid the foundations of the Czech nationalist movement in music, and is recognized as “The Father of Czech Music” within the Czech Republic, but after Smetana’s tragic early death from syphilis, it fell to Dvorak to develop and extend this legacy in an impressive series of works that have achieved lasting popularity comparable with any music to come out of Germany, France, Italy, or Russia. The secret to Dvorak's success lies first and foremost in his incredible gift for melody, and secondarily in the instantly recognizable and delightfully fresh Czech folk character displayed in much of his best music. Dvorak composed in all major musical genres, and his oeuvre contains works that can justifiably be hailed as true masterpieces in every single major form – a very unusual accomplishment, even among the rarified ranks of “the great composers.” PICTURED: A beautiful “Imperial”-sized cabinet photograph of Dvorak, which Dvorak signed and inscribed to Hungarian music critic Andor Merkler in Budapest in 1899. This photo was signed on the occasion of the first performance of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto to take place with Dvorak conducting *and* Hanus Wihan serving as the soloist. (Wihan was the cellist who had requested that Dvorak write the concerto, as well as the dedicatee of the work – but for logistical reasons, Stern had ended up giving the world premiere several years earlier.)

TO ALL CHURCH ORGAN ENJOYERS MY BELOVED

@fluffypichu876 in particular as this post was written for my dear mutual's enjoyment))))))

To my great sadness, there are Not Nearly songs that use organ! This is an actual crime in my opinion, church organ sounds incredibly unique, has an unparalleled range, including sounds beyond what human ear can hear. All of this gives it incredible musiclal properties, which can be used to create a wild range of music and amazing songs.

I'll start with the ones we've already mentioned before, so they could all be grouped together in this post.

Binding of Isaac DLC just casually dropped this banger and left (not really, there are some others very good tracks in the OST, I reccomend checking out Shadowdance)

Knowledge of this wonderful track was bestowed upon my by @fluffypichu876 . Ultrakill OST is badass

THIS BANGER is a Don't Fear the Reaper cover on a church organ. Warning: the song is ripped out of the game files and stitched back together, there are 2 a little rough transisitions (they sort of jumpscare me a little if I'm not prepared), so don't be like me and turn the volume a little lower than MAX, take care of your eardrums.

Bleak Faith Forsaken is such a unique game, a real shame it was not well received. The visual and environments are breathtaking, but for me music is even more so. Composer Martel has managed to combine a truly rare combination of traditional ethnical insturments or song structures, paired this with banger riffs or synth, and made something truly niche and unique. I highly reccomend listening to the entire OST. Personal faves are Nurgei The Blademaster, Mountain Wreath

Found this one just today. Music that makes me want to confess all of my sins and bathe in the slain demon blood. Apparently I have a lot of Warhammer 40k catching up to do...

Now, a more popular and easier to find category - rock song covers! I've had the pleasure of listening to some of these performed live, and I highly suggest any church organ enjoyer looks for local orchestral rock concerts. It sounds fantastic in your headphones, and it sounds even more powerful live (I've found a local organisation that regularly performs these concerts and the tickets are very affordable, catholic church has my respect and thanks for allowing these concerts. They even regularly perform Jesus Christ Superstar!!! respect)

It's a testament to organ's range that you can play an entire rock song with just these two instruments. The drummer is a certified banger for sure, and organ wonderfully plays the guitar part I love this cover more than the original tbh

And classic. Interstellar Sountrack. Brace yourself all you want, you will be blown away regardless.

On this antique postcard we see the German Composer, Pianist and Organist Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) and the birthplace in Hamburg. In his short life he compose many hundreds of works and some of this are in the repertoire until today in the concert halls all over the world.
