A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

Shostakovich 24 Preludes Op. 34.... Which one?

on: December 07, 2004, 02:31:04 AM

Dear all,

I am asked to choose 5 preludes out of this whole set of 24 from Shostakovich 24 Preludes Op. 34. I have given the whole set a few listens and the pianist is Tatiana Nikolaeva.

Which 5 are the most popular ones in this set? Or do you have any favourites and why? Or which 5 would be recommended. I be playing 2 of the 5 for my exams.

Thanks

I have never played these. If I remember correctly their was one in Eb minor. That was my favourite if I remember (it was slow and very dark)- I heard this in a concert about a year ago, not too familiar with this set, sorry.
