    NP : FIRST CIRCLE - Pat Metheny Group



    The first track throws you right off kilter, it always conjours, to me, a badly out of tune small orchestra on some godforsaken South American railway station as some tin pot El Presidente is greeted disembarking from a train, all cheesy grin and big zapata moustache and medals cheesy After this the album really kicks off and is brilliant! One of my all time favourites cool

    NP: 'Sinnerman' (Nina Simone)

    Wow. Wow. One of the greatest songs ever written. Such energy, verve, and great character in performance. When I hear things like this I realise I know so little of the great music on this planet.


    It's a classic song, but it's kinda overused in film and TV over the years.


    Fortunately I think I've missed most of the places where it's been used.

    NP: The Carnival of the Animals - Saint-Saëns

    Lately I've been playing this a lot. When I was little I couldn't understand what Leonard Bernstein saying in English at all (so the narration parts used to bore me), but now I can understand, well, mostly biggrin

    Anyway, I always love this suite, with lots of fun and humor (lol for Pianists), but is very charming. My favorite movements are, Introduction & Royal March of the Lion (bunny), Wild Asses, Kangaroos (love the fun piano on these two), The Swan (just beautiful), and of course, fantastic Finale. I never get bored with it.

    It's one of those great works that is a great introduction to classical music, added to it is Prokofiev's Peter and The Wolf and Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to The Orchestra.

    He, he....are you sure that's the right emoticon for that piece? Shouldn't it be more like a smiley smoking a cigar and drinking a glass of fine red wine?
    I am extremely serious.

    Certainly, that emoticon was just to say: "I'm not disappointed!"

    NP: Dreams & Variation - Don Harper

    I'm reposting this from another thread...

    You know who Don Harper is, and his history with MV/RC... but you'll be surprised at the range he demonstrated in this album. His compositions are very "American" in approach; melodic, orchestral, acoustic, eclectic, colorful, introspective, but ultimately as diverse as the landscapes that he's painting. I got this album a couple years ago, right around the same time it came out on CDBaby and I really love it. I even wrote to him a couple time to express my affinity for this album.


    In short, it's just lovely.
