Marina Alexandra plays March of Toy Soldiers by Nikita Koshkin & Sunburst by Andrew York via TEDx on YouTube. She gives a nice little explanation of both pieces before playing which explains the musical effects in relation to the story of the…
Julian Bream plays J.S.Bach’s BWV999 in 1962. Wow, he’s so young here. I love it: the cook comes out, there is a guy with a monocle, a crazy candle, and Bream smiling right into the camera.

Nikita Koshkin (I presume) conducting his own work (also presumed) “Changing the Guard” with a youth guitar orchestra. I like the violent thrusts of sound and angular lines. Cool work for a youth group. I’m sure you are familiar with Koshkin’s compositions…
