    NP: CONCERT A L'ORGUE DE COVVARUBIAS (Francois Couperin)

    Church organ music is powerful, but can also wear out its welcome after a while. Especially if it's like this, performed on a very "whiney", small organ. But the compositions are lovely. I love organ music, although it's almost geekier than film music!
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: RARITIES (Eric Woolfson)

    The Alan Parsons Project songwriter (recently deceased) had a wonderful songwriting career also before APP. Wrote some wonderful melodies and songs that hinted of the things to come, especially the haunting major-minor mode progressions. This is a collection of some of them. Check out these two, for example:

    Marianne Faithful - "Tomorrow's Calling" (1965):

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0WkJtd6Q1s

    Timothy Blue - "Room at the Top of the Stairs" (1968):

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMgYDwHmp5s

    The latter would later form the basis of "The Cask of Ammontilado" on TALES OF MYSTERY.
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: RUMOURS - FLEETWOOD MAC

    A quality album by a quality band - one I've not listened to for a good while. I was given a superb bottle of wine tonight by a client at work (a 2000 Chateau Chantalouette), so I'm just sitting back now and chilling the fuck out. With cheese. Bliss.

    cool

    I completed Shame yesterday and I've still had another listen to the 13+ minute Coltrane/Tyner "My Favorite Things" Trane's work on the soprano sax was superb.

    Jimmy Smith Plays The Blues

    Great selection of blues(y) jazz tracks on the legendary Verve label.
    Excellent, highly virtuoso performances by the king of jazz organ, backed by Oliver Nelson's big band (who did some truly spectacular arranging) for three tracks and a small combo for the rest.
    Very cool stuff.

    I approve! cool

    What a shame none of Oliver Nelson's scores for THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN are available, his scoring was funky, exciting and unique, some truly brilliant stuff!

    THE SEVEN MILLION DOLLAR MAN

    A shame there's no post of the excellent climatic fight between the two, a Nelson tour-de-force.

    NP : A SYMPHONY OF HOPE : THE HAITI PROJECT - A lot of composers



    25 film and TV composers from Nathan Barr to Christopher Young come together for a very worthy project and the result is a very fine and listenable album that I'll return to many times.

  22. I do intend to go to see the LSO live one day, that's for sure.

    If I ever am in London at that time, we could definitely go with my friend to the BBC Proms. Some great stuff I heard there when I was in London for the first time.

    I saw the LSO numerous times in the late 70's with no less than Andre Previn conducting, a shame that despite being into film music at that time that I didn't know that Previn had been an in-demand film composer before giving it up and that he was also a close friend of John Williams ( Williams FAMILY PLOT score is influenced by Previn's DEAD RINGER )

    I don't go too often myself. Of course for me it helps to know people in the orchestra (and sqeeze free tickets out of them from time to time) and to be involved enough in the music community to always run into people you know during intermission. Had it not been for that I might not attend much at all... which is a shame becuase the concerts here can be truly amazing!

    About the concert tonight: Bell was wonderful, he has such an amazing sound. But I felt the chemistry didn't seem to work right between him and Petrenko. It was almost as if the orchestra was restraining him. The third movement of Sibelius had a slow start with some rare slip ups in Bell's playing. Nice to know he's only human too wink

    The highlight was Thcaikovsky's 4th symphony... at the moment my favourite piece of music! Petrenko and the philharmonic stunned the hall with an exhilarating performance. I heard the same work in London last year with the Londond philharmonic and it couldn't even compare to this evening's performance... I'm looking forward to re-experiencing it in the upcoming television broadcast. It was absolutely breathtaking. smile

    Quite recently my great friend led me to see a skit featuring Previn himself. I don't remember who performed it, but it seems to be pretty famous in the UK. It was about a performance of Grieg's piano concerto which... goes a bit awry.

    I love that work, very relaxing with a feeling of unease.....if that makes sense?

    Bird recordings are also used in Resphigi's The Pines of Rome.

    That's a brilliant sketch and well known over here.

    This is the full sketch MR PREVUE

    You won't understand a few references as they are very much of that time but it's still hilarious, Previn's "look" when Eric starts playing is priceless biggrin
