  1. I was at a concert yesterday. Our local philharmonic orchestra played

    - Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: The Hebrides Ouverture op. 26
    - Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs (Frühling, September, Beim Schlafengehen, Im Abendrot). They had a great sopran: Eleonore Marguerre
    - Carl Reinecke: Symphonie no. 2 C minor "Hakon Jarl"

    Never heard of Reinecke or that symphony. He wrote in the calssic romantic style, so I liked that quite a bit. Great concert.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    I'd have found this very disappointing if I didn't already know that you have a much wider and better ( IMO ) taste than this. wink


    What the fook was I talking about confused I blame it on man-flu. I like quite a few tracks from the likes of Iron Maiden and AC/DC....... I think I must have focused purely on Guns N' Roses because I can't stand Axel Rose. I did like the guitar-lick in their Terminator 2 theme though wink

    I don't think there's anyone in the world who likes him.
    It's not like he's hated so much, just universally despised.
    And rightly so, as he's an utter prick.

    I think GnR's music is bleedin' awesome though!

    a new review of a massive set from Brilliant. In America it is distributed by Naxos for 129.95. Doing a little math that's a little over $2.00 for the 55 CD package.

    Never could warm up to Reinecke but I love the Hebrides overture. Sometime I'll have to try again with Carl

  6. NP: Mythodea (2001) - Vangelis

    This is so magnificent. I like to comopare this with Mikis Theodorakis' Canto Olympico. Here Vangelis really comes eye to eye with his eminent fellow composer and conpatriot. Such a great work. As in Beauburg, Mask or Invisible Connections Vangelis goes way beyond pop music and reaches symphonic hights of complexity.

    I'd never have thought of comparing MYTHODEA with CANTO OLYMPICO other than that both works are by Greek composers.

    I do agree that both works are magnificent.

  8. It is a rather random comparison. I just wanted to point out that Vangelis has written high music here, serious music or whatever you call that in England. smile

  10. NP: The Six Wifes of Henry VIII (1973) - Rick Wakeman

    While I never got the connection between the pieces of music and the individual person it is supposed to portrait and while I don't like all the cues evenly, this still is an outstanding album. A must have for every fan of 70s prog rock music.

    I'm not a fan of Wakeman. I met him backstage at Glastonbury some years ago and me and my mate got a picture taken with him, this was mainly to cause great envy in a mutual best friend who wasn't there but held Wakeman in the status of 'god like', showing him this pic blew his mind, to him this was basically the equivalent of me showing a photo to Thor of me having dinner with Danny Elfman, John Williams and Elliot Goldenthal at Jack Nicholson's house wink

    Mr Wakeman was a really nice man. Now that I think of it I guess I could add him to film composers I've met?

    biggrin

    Wasn't Wakeman on that tv show a few years ago, with grumpy old men talking about why they hated Christmas?
    I am extremely serious.

    NP : THE MUSIC OF COLE PORTER - Michel Legrand



    Wow! This is just so wonderful and so bloody refreshing after listening to some new "film music" dross the last few days. Wonderful and uplifting arrangements by a true maestro who doesn't need a frigging army to back him up.

    ( sorry, I'll probably calm down in a day or so rolleyes )

    NP : WATER COLORS - Pat Metheny



    Wonderful, minimalistic album of shimmering beauty. I suspect a few people around these parts ( D, Michael, maybe Thor too? ) would possibly like this. ( Just checked, it's not available on Spotify )

    Check this track out... OASIS

    Cobweb may like to know that I only own this on LP wink

    NP : SYMPHONY # 5 - Sergei Prokofiev

    I'd vote that his 'Classical' symphony has been recorded more often. I'm still going through my Tchaikovsky box. 55 CD's is a lot.

    I'd vote that you're correct Tom. I keep forgetting that his Classical Symphony is considered his 1st symphony. It's usually written down on covers as A Classical Symphony.
