    Symphony No. 2 from Rachmaninoff. A long melodic romantic mature Sergei in this one. One of my favorite symphonies.
    listen to more classical music!

    Symphony No.4 Roussel. Written in his later years when he truly had developed his sound somewhat separating himself from Ravel and Debussy. A new recording from Naxos.

    NP: Heroes (Symphony No.4) - Philip Glass

    Interestingly, the conductor's score (a weighty 257-page tome sitting on my desk) describes this as a 'Symphonic Ballet'.

  10. Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell --- Meat Loaf

    16 years after the first, the hit-combo Steinman & Loaf made this album, and it's every bit as awesome as the first. That production, that voice, those song titles... They're all as wonderfully big as Marvin Lee Aday was at one time. punk

    Glorious music, another classical work that should grace the shelves of every film score fan.

    What type of music is his style (don't say 'classical'. I will use my extra special [DOOM] button, which does unspeakable things).

    CHECK IT OUT ( this is part 3/3, the rest of it is there if you want Martijn, I've just highlighted my favourite part )

    The huge forces of brass just send my spine into meltdown from the 2.30 mark onwards, monumental and very Gladiatorial.

    Early 20th century, tone poems, but more of a throwback style wise to late 19th century. However, having said that I found his Brazilian Impressions work to be quite creative using his european schooling with the music of South American.
    Brazilian Impressions, written as a result of his first trip to Rio de Janeiro in 1927, the folk music Ottorino heard is nicely incorporated into this all too brief 3 movement, 18+ minute work. “Tropical Night” is a summer filled romantic nocturne featuring a wonderful melody that is everything you would think of if you were in Brazil on a romantic holiday with the exception of a lack of marimba percussion. “Butantan. In A Snake Garden near Sao Paulo” is a creepy memory with tambourine for rattlesnake noises, use of “Dies Irae”, and low slithering sounding woodwinds. “Song and Dance” brings about the vision of a couple in a cabaret performing a samba alone on a dance floor backed by orchestra and couples sitting at tables looking on.

    Worth exploring Martijn.

    Very good info, Tom & Tim! Thanks very much indeed.

    From your description I find myself intrigued Tom, and I'll give your link a listen as soon as I get home, Timmer (no sound available where I am right now).

    Love And Dancing - The League Unlimited Orchestra

    This one contains instrumental remixed versions of Human League songs by Martin Rushent and it rocks !
    I bought the LP waaay back in my teens and played it to death . I recently bought it again on CD so I can start all over ! biggrin
    "Simplicity is the key to brilliance"
  22. Human League, I remember them !!! They had some catchy tunes. In fact the 80s were all about catchy tunes.

    This one is full of them:

    Bad - Michael Jackson

    BRILLIANT ! cool

    Alba Romana - Marco Frisina

    An incredible album written as a homage to Rome. It's filled with the usual amazing Frisina melodies, choir and solo voice. A pleasure to listen to.

    A-HAH!
    I knew I knew I knew this sounded familiar! smile

    While I like parts of it (especially the latter part that -as I understand- symbolizes the marching Roman legions), it's overall a bit ...I dunno... overly hysterical for me? It doesn't really seem to land anywhere. I do have some problems hanging on to what the composer is trying to relay to me: it's good...but it's abrasive.

    Fair enough.

    p.s. The Fantasia rendition pales in comparrison with the Berlin under Von Karajan.

    Yes. That it most certainly does. What an electrifying performance!

    Symphony No. 9 "From The New World" - Dvorak
    ( Sir Georg Solti conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra )

    One of my favourite classical compositions of all time.
    It's just so beautiful, so filled with awe and wonder , celebrating a new and wonderous land. Dvorak's powerful eastern European heritage allows him to look upon this world with a full and sensitive Romanticism (that includes a tinge of melancholy, as found so often in Eastern European composers).

    But it's the abundance of joy that makes this symphony so moving: the sheer exuberance and delight that he so clearly felt when putting pen to paper to try and catch this "new world" in tones (incorporating ever so subtly even the melancholy strands of the Swing Low, Sweet Chariot spiritual, revisited many times as a leitmotiv, including a rousing and thunderous finale!).

    This symphony, with it's incredible richness of emotion never fails to move me immensely, and may well be the finest tribute ever paid to a particular country.

    One of my favourites too despite an early attempt by Ridley Scott to forever make me distanced from this great work.

  30. What did Ridley do? I love how Dvorak influenced film music. His Cello Concerto (first part) was the inspiration behind Goldsmith's theme to The 13th Warrior
