Reynaldo Hahn - Piano Concerto (1930)
Reynaldo Hahn (August 9, 1874 – January 28, 1947) was a Venezuelan, naturalized French, composer, conductor, music critic, diarist, theater director, and salon singer. Best known as a composer of more than 100 songs, he wrote in the French classical tradition of the mélodie.
He was close friends with Marcel Proust and Sarah Bernhardt amongst many others.
Piano Concerto in E major (1930)
Dedication: à Magda Tagliaferro
1. Improvisation: Modéré très liberement (0:00)
2. Danse: Vif (12:12)
3. Rêverie (15:02), Toccata (23:00) et Finale

Graham Johnson writes that Hahn "was never truly of the twentieth century"; he was for many years regarded chiefly as evoking the spirit of fin de siècle Paris. He was not in sympathy with the more obviously modern music of the early decades of the 20th century, but he moved with the times. According to a 2020 analysis:
Trained in the canons of Late Romanticism by his mentor and patron Jules Massenet, he succeeded in adjusting his style to the modernity of the Années folles, composing musical comedies with echoes of jazz, foxtrot and Argentinian tango, making masterly use of the saxophone and the piano in his orchestra … a catalogue of compositions ranging from chamber music – the sublime Piano Quartet and Piano Quintet – to ballet and the orchestral repertory.
Hahn's biographer Jacques Depaulis writing in 2006, comments that many composers suffer a period of neglect after their deaths and are then rediscovered, a process known in France as "la traversée du désert" – crossing the desert. In 1947 a British newspaper remarked that Hahn "is hardly remembered today outside the boundaries of France". In 1961, 14 years after the composer's death, the musicologist Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt dismissed Hahn as "a talented gossip who had a gift for grinding out operettas and little, tastefully performed ballads in limitless quantities". In the last decades of the 20th century there was a revival in interest in Hahn's music: Johnson (2002) refers to "an ever-widening range of his mélodies to be heard regularly on the concert platform".

MANILA, Philippines — American hitmaker David Foster serenaded his Filipino fans with his timeless hits at Araneta Coliseum concert last night.
SB19 member Stell opened the concert, singing Adele's "All I Ask," "Defying Gravity" and his new solo single "Room."
David opened his concert with the instrumental "Winter Games" and "Love Theme From St. Elmo's Fire" with Kenny G on the background.
"It is so good to be back. Why? Because there is no country, I've been to many countries, that loves music more than the Philippines. This is true," David said.
He then called Filipino singer JV Decena, who then sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Another Filipino singer, Joaquin Garcia, performed with David, singing "Broken Vow."
1990s boyband All 4 One then performed "I Can Love You Like That" and their hit song "I Swear," bringing in nostalgic vibes.
David's wife Katharine McPhee then performed Celine Dion's "Power of Love," Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing," "I Will Always Love You" and her own hit song, "Terrified."
To showcase more of his composed songs, David played Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" and "You're The Inspiration," with the audience singing along.
Stell then came back onstage to perform "All By Myself," and the entire arena was stunned with his performance.
Brian McKnight then sang his classic songs "One Last Cry" and "Back At One."
