clivebaxter Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 For some reason Japan and Korea produce some of the most talented youngsters. Himari is one of the most gifted, it does help if your parents are musicians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Walker88 Posted January 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 Just a few.......Brahms 1st Symphony (sometimes jokingly called Beethoven's Tenth), Liszt's Piano Sonata in B Minor, compositions for lute by S L Weiss (and transcribed for guitar), Isaac Albéniz 'Sevilla' on classical guitar (preferably by Julian Bream), or any of a dozen Bach pieces for guitar, played by Bream, John Williams or Christopher Parkening. Perhaps not surprisingly, listen to all of these wonderful pieces, then periodically play Beethoven's 9th, and one realizes why the 9th is so well known....it is like the Pieta for sculpture: everyone is just hoping for Second Place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted January 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) For fun, watch this: Especially when Cheryl Grice is playing....she is quite talented....but when Julian Bream chimes in, he displays genius. Also, his guitar has a much warmer sound. Grice's guitar sounds good until Bream plays the same notes on his..... The other folks play the pieces; Bream is the piece. Bream, the guitar and the music are inseparable. Astonishing display of brilliance and artistry. Edited January 29, 2022 by Walker88 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently learning blues piano. One of my favorite classical pieces is Ravel's String Quartet in F Major. The pizzicato passage in the 2nd movement is remarkable. But the whole quartet is a real joy. My wife mostly listens to Thai music and sometimes sends me songs that I like. But she is a big fan of George Harrison's While my guitar gently weeps, especially the version with India Arie, Carlos Santana and Yo-Yo Ma. Paul Laew Did you read the title of the thread?

Maybole Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I enjoy a lot of classical music with the exception of the atonal experiments from early to middle 20th century. My favourite changes from time to time, Beethoven, Bruch, Elgar Vaughn Williams et al. At the moment I repeatedly enjoy Peter Maxell-Davis's Farewell to Stromness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC with the late Michael Kamen (conducting), theme from the original BBC version of Edge of Darkness which they both co-wrote.The film with Mel Gibson is no comparison IMHO. Cheers.

bendejo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Classical is my "music soothes the savage beast" stuff, calms me down. Fave pieces: first 2 movements of Beethoven's Ninth prelude to Tannhauser (Wagner) when in need of strength and determination ...ok, so those aren't actually soothing. Cavalleria Rusticana Mozart piano concertos A thumbs up to Enso String Quartet I recently started a "composer of the week" initiative to expand my scope, but it looks like it will be by the month. Or longer ???? Starting off with Mahler. If someone has on-line radio stations they like I'd appreciate some mentions. I'll start if off with KQAC in Portland, Oregon (USA). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeungKen Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) What an interesting topic, thanks. As a lover of many forms & types of music, Classical Music is a hugely important part of my life. There are far too many favourites to list here but i would suggest the following three are well worth listening to. 1. 2. 3.

Certainly added another dimension to the music. Thanks! I was very fortunate to be in Nottingham UK (where Torvill & Dean come from) when they premiered their world tour back in 1985. It was the most amazing show I have ever seen in my life. And naturally Bolero, a much more stylized version, was the big highlight of the evening.
