My 100th Post!

Bryan Bishop, 2008
Believe it or not, eighteen months after starting this blog, I have reached my 100th post!  So, something rather unique seems in order, and I therefore offer three of my own performances as a pianist.  I've posted the Haydn here before, but only as MP3 files, so here are the FLACs to go with them.  The Vaughan Williams I have posted to YouTube, but the Brandenburg Concerto is truly new - I only got the CD myself this past Monday.  So, without further ado, here are the links:


Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D, BWV 1050
DaSalo Solisti Chamber Orchestra conducted by Norman Bernal
Bryan Bishop, piano
Teodora Stoyanova, flute
Norman Bernal, violin
Live recording by Carey Carlan [a member of the orchestra], November 13, 2011
Link (FLAC files, 101.35)
Link (MP3 files, 24.33)

Haydn: Piano Trio in G, Hob.XV:25 ("Gypsy") and
Haydn: Andante with Variations in F minor, Hob.XVII:6

      Yes, they are! Alas, I lost this tie (and many others) in the Great Georgia Flood of '09.

    Beautiful, intimate recording...stately, relaxed performance. Are you related to British composer/ musician(now living in America) Geoffrey Bishop?

      Thank you for the kind words! I don't think I am related to Geoffrey Bishop, unless very distantly. The farthest back my ancestry has been traced is to a great-great-great grandfather, Benjamin Bishop, born in South Carolina around 1780.
