    NP : SYMPHONY # 5 - Ralph Vaughan Williams



    Gorgeous and incredibly deep work, possibly ( with the exception of his 7th which is based on a film score ) his most accessable symphony for first time listeners?

    p.s. No pollution here wink


    Other than this thread I'm not sure about this thread anymore

    NP: Best Of... - The Ivy League

    A relatively obscure Britpop band from the sixties, the Ivy League had some moderate success with hits like Funny How Love Can Be, Lonely Room and a powerful rendition of Floral Dance (a classic song unfortunately best known in the Terry Wogan version slant ).

    I really enjoy how their voices blend together in some truly excellent harmonies which brings a "sit up and take notice" quality to what otherwise might have been rather generic mid-sixties pop songs (though that may be a little unfair: the mid sixties were so good to popular music that even above average material is too easily lost among the truly outstanding!). Nothing groundbreaking, in short, but something very, very enjoyable!

    NP: The Ghosts of Dublin - Kerry Turner

    Excellent horn octet with a great main theme. Sadly, it is not available on CD (at least to my knowledge), but is found on video here.

    Every thread seems to go a bit off-kilter at times Tom but they usually stabalise in time smile


    NP : ETERNAL ECHOES - John Barry



    Gorgeous late night album, love the big brassy parts too which conjure shades of Barry's 1960's style of Goldfinger etc.

    Classy music from a grade-A classy composer.

    I'm not sure i see the point Tom? I think classical plays are fine right here. I like the ecclecticness of this thread, it shows the diversity of peoples taste.

    Well, Steven started a good classical thread "Classical Music For Film Fans"? and it didn't really set the board on fire. A new classical thread would only tempt a tiny handful of us!?

    Cool, funky up-beat jazz album with a touch of drum n' bass, this really is a brilliant album.

    Highly recommended.

    NP: SYMPHONY NO. 1....KALINNIKOV The appeal on this one might just be the wonderful way of his orchestration of his melodies. He likes loud brass!!! Not a lot of output from this composer as he was taken away from us at 35 and lived in poverty most of his life.

    NP: THE SEA....GLAZUNOV. The late 19th and early 20th century certainly produced people who new how to orchestrate material. Somehow I get the idea that Rimsky had a lot to do with this.

    I'm in the mood for this kind of stuff right now so on to....


    NP : HAND ON THE TORCH - Us 3



    Another favourite of mine, I particularly love the sampled use of Sonny Rollins theme from Alfie.

    If you love the St. Germain album you are highly likely to love this too. cool

    Rimsky-Korsakov was a student and protegé of Glazunov, as you know.
    I am extremely serious.

    This is one work that Steven, a Tchaikovsky lover of epic proportions, should explore. Check out the clips at classicsonline.com

    No, he liked adolescent boys, which, while obviously still questionable, is rather different from the implied pedophila. Allegedly he once angrily retorted when faced with accusations of being homosexual: "I am not homosexual, I am a pederast!" Odd defense to put forward, but anyway...

    EDIT:
    Some further investigation yields that he likely was being sarcastic in his response.
    Most biographers now accept that he was in fact homosexual, so his sardonic "pederast" remark may well have been in -misguided- biting anger.

    The charge that he was too clever by half hounded him to his grave, and, while he lived, his cranky temperament didn't win him many friends. He deserted his wife after the early death of their two children. In response to rumors about his sexuality, he once responded angrily, "I am not a homosexual; I am a pederast!" It is said that on the occasion of his 83rd birthday party, half the people in the room weren't speaking to him.
