    Overplayed and overused to the extent of "evergreen", but a brilliant classic nonetheless.
    I am extremely serious.
  3. To that you probably always have to add:

    Sometimes when I get sick of its string orchestral arrangement, I'll listen to the original string quartet version. It's much more intimate.
  5. Barber's Adagio must be one of the most temp-tracked pieces of classical music. From time to time you come across string passages that seem inspired by it. My brain fails me to come up with any concrete example though. smile

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  6. While the chord progression and overall evolution is totally different, I sometimes am wondering if it didn't inform the whole three descending notes concept of Journey to the Line.

    It has impacted Hans' work a lot as you can most notably hear in the highly dramatic cues from Tears of the Sun.

    I loved it much more when it wasn't overused. The Elephant Man and most particularly Platoon made it super popular, whether used in war documentaries, televised fund raisers for starving countries, a pop hit complete with beats and even lampooned in many comedy shows has diluted its impact for me.

    I now have no desire to play a piece I once loved.

    I found it intersting that it was coupled with Shostakovich's 5th Symphony, a loud brash affair for much of it.

    All true. But I think its usage in presidential funerals way back (JFK and the like) was when it first started to attain 'evergreen' status.

    Indeed Thor, it may well have been my earliest exposure to the piece.

    I agree to its overuse I can liken to popular tunes such as Somewhere Over The Rainbow. The general public relates.

  15. NP: Phaedra (1973) - Tangerine Dream

    The cult album that made Tangerine Dream. You don't look for lush melodies here but for carefully structured ever evolving textures.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  16. NP: The Balcony

    This song by Danish folk group The Rumours Said Fire from their 2010 album The Arrogant is currently on heavy rotation due to addiction on my part. It's a charming homage to Simon and Garfunkel and was seemingly sort of a hit in Denmark.

  22. NP: Lounge Legends: James Last

    No polonaise here, no polka, no overdubbed reverby whining violins, but a surprisingly bluesy side of James Last.
    I recommend the anthology: John Barry, Roberto Delgado, Sammy Davis Junior, Burt Bacharach, Lee Hazelwood, France Gall ...

  23. To commemorate Martijn's birthday I just played The Nits, In the Dutch Mountains. Wherever there are mountains in the Netherlands. Maybe there is one in Martijn's garden. smile

    NP: SHOSTAKOVICH SYMPHONY NO. 5 A REFERENCE RECORDING WITH THE PITTSBURCH MANFRED HOSLECK RECORDING.
    This symphony has really grown on me part in fact to this superior recording. The liner notes are detailed and explain a lot of what happened prior tot his work and the changes Shostakovich was forced to make under Stalin but how cleverly Shostakovich managed to retain his personal ideas. I'm preaching to the choir when I tell you how he has influenced Horner and others.

    NP: BALAKIREV SYMPHONY NO. 2 AND RUSSIA

    Balakirev was a member of the Mighty Five, the leader who formed a free school with Cui, Moussorgsky, Borodin, and Rimsky Korsakov. While he never attained the status of Rimsky-Korsakov his work is pleasant to listen to and having a CD or two in your classical collection is a good idea. Very much the Russian sound.
