    NP: Beethoven's Last Night (A Last Illusion; it's the only track I currently own from this album sad ) - Kinkel, Ludwig van Beethoven, O'Neill, Rimsky-Korsakov & Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Some really sweet electric guitar stuff! Awesome arrangement of well-known classical works. I don't usually go for remixes and arrangements of classical pieces, but this one just blows me away every time I hear it! The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is absolutely fantastic, and I really hope to get the rest of this album sometime.


    Interesting. Modern day remixes of classical music usually make me vomit See Vanessa May for instance, i hate her, her playing and her "remixes" with passion.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Well, i was in one of her concerts here in Greece a couple of years back mate and it was all hideous playback, confirmed by friend violinists who were along with me too. Everyone got so upset and disappointed, she sucks big time.

    NP: The Planets, Op. 32 - Gustav Holst

    My friend, a trumpet player, introduced me to this work (though I had heard small bits of Mars shortly beforehand), and I am very glad he did! This work captures a lot of the mystery and awe that grasps us when viewing the planets on photos or in the night sky. Mars and Jupiter are my favorites, I think. punk

    The Planets is a lot more satisfying work for me! If you own a nice audio system this is one to purchase in a 'showcase' version. The Telarc recording is a good one and can be gotten directly from the company or through Amazon of course. I like the older Telarc recordings as they are sonically superior in their recording techniques. Previn is a good conductor and the Royal Philharmonic is top drawer.

    NP: Orchestral Works Vol. 2...Leroy Anderson

    An American classical composer who wrote more for the Boston Pops creating memorable melodies and unusual percussion and sounds such as "The Typewriter" (1950). I wonder if Dario got an idea from this? "The Phantom Regiment" sounds like it came from a Jimmy Stewart 1950's western and "The Penny Whistle Song" could very well have been background music for a 1950's commercial. "Sandpiper Ballet" takes use of you'll never guess what.

    Please check him out William, his music is great and, most importantly, very accessable.

    I "discovered" this composer through his 'And God Created Great Whales' about 15 years ago and have bought most of his available output since. Most film score fans seem to have discovered Hovhaness via John Williams The Five Sacred Trees album where Williams conducts Hovhaness fabulous 'Mysterious Mountain'.

    There are a few posters on this board who are familiar with Hovhaness works and all have been possitive.

    Check him out. smile

    Well, there's no doubt it's influence on film scores is incredibly wide ranging, particularly in the work of Jerry Goldsmith. The Jawa sequence in STAR WARS references it too.

    For me it'll forever be associated with Dinosaurs due to it's use in Disney's FANTASIA.

    I agree about Fantasia. And I also know about the Star Wars reference to it. If I remember correctly, George Lucas originally thought no modern composer could do justice musically to his Star Wars film, and had actually intended on using classical works for the film (or at least as temp tracks). I have no doubt in my mind that The Rite of Spring is one of those works that he used.
  23. For most influential piece of classical music of the twentieth century, I feel I'd have to go with one of Schoenberg's early atonal pieces. More composers consciously followed in his footsteps throughout the twentieth century than in Stravinsky's. Even Stravinsky tried his hand at twelve tone writing late in life.

  25. Now headbanging to : THE BLACK ALBUM - METALLICA

    I love this CD!! The production sound is nothing short of stellar (those drums dizzy ) and James Hetfield's voice sounded never better. Full of riveting guitar solos, brutal percussion and awesome lyrics this one remains my all time fave Metallica. And who can forget 'The Unforgiven' and 'Nothing Else Matters'? punk

    It's excellent music and can be found on various compilations ( it's not a long piece ), it was actually written for the film THE FIRST OF THE FEW.

    Walton would revisit writing music about Spitfire's in 1969's THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN, though this time it was heavily influenced by Malcolm Arnold's short concert work 'Tam O' Shanter'.
