Dale Carr | Sonata in b minor, op.58, by Chopin {2nd movement}, performed by Charles Farmer, on 2 February, 1965 @dalecarr6361 | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Sonata in b minor, opus 58, by Chopin {2nd movement}, performed by Charles Farmer, piano, on 2 February, 1965, in Hertz Hall, University of California, Berkeley.
Charles Farmer was a friend of mine in Berkeley in the 1960s. This performance was given in the series of 'noon concerts' in the Music Department's Hertz Hall. Another friend of mine recently sent me a 7" reel-to-reel tape of the concert, and I had it digitized, then corrected the rather too heavy bass tones. I'm no sound engineer, so I can only hope that the sound of this version of the performance will be found satisfactory. Here I have uploaded the 2nd movement; the rest will follow in due course.
Charles died in 2019 in Portland OR. An obituary can be found @ https://www.reed.edu/reed-magazine/in-memoriam/obituaries/2020/charles-farmer.html
I do not know whether he had any survivors who might have a reason to object to the publishing of this recording; anybody with objections is invited to contact me.
