    Close to Volker's heart is the Paul Hindemith piece "Symphonic Metamorphosis" which is based on melodies of Weber. His neo baroque style takes a bit of getting use to but it is a rewarding listen.
    Tom
    listen to more classical music!
  2. Indeed, Tom. cheesy I recently listened to "Matis der Maler" by Hindemith and the "Variations" are also on that album.

    NP : CARMINA BURANA - Carl Orff



    I haven't played this for many years and now I realise why ( philistine moment approaching ), it's because I don't really like it beyond the famous bit, O Fortuna, that was famously used as the theme for The Omen.

    I'll be getting my hit of Orff off compilations in future.

    The other piece I quite like from Carmina Burana is "In taberna quando sumus" which always reminds me of Alan Silvestri's MouseHunt theme for some reason.
  5. I love all of it. All the way through. I once saw a great live performance with a Jarre like light show and the wheel of fortune projected turning in the background. Wow!

    NP: THE BEST OF... (Electric Light Orchestra)

    I have an interesting story about this album, but I'm too lazy to type it in now.
    I am extremely serious.

    You should get some of their albums Thor, there's some fantastic non-commercial tracks. My highest recommendations would be Face The Music and Out of The Blue.

  10. Balance of Power was one of the first rock albums I bought when I was about 12 years old. I was a big big fan of CALLING AMERICA back then. I still like the album even though I can see why it is generally regarded as one of their weaker offerings. It's quite streamlined. Nostalgia involved here, of course.

    NP : DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - Pink Floyd



    One of the greatest albums ever! love

  13. NP: Music that features in the original series COSMOS.

    I was never able to lay my hand on that 2CD soundtrack but upon checking its content again I discovered that meanwhile I have collected almost everything that was on that soundtrack, so I could create a playlist that would come pretty close.
    I have all the Vangelis, Tomita, Synergy, Bach, Vivaldi, Stravinsky, Pachelbel, Shostakovich stuff.

    Two notable things I don't have:

    Yamaguchi: DIpicting Cranes in their Nest
    Sagan apparently put this on that golden disc they sent into space. I'm not so keen on it anyway based on what I can hear on YouTube.

    Alan Hovhaness: Symphony no. 19
    I don't have anything by Hovhaness at all. sad I always ment to buy that "Mysterious Mountain" piece that everybody seems to love.

    Hovhaness is EXCELLENT! You need to explore. I think you're also missing Roy Buchanan's excellent piece too.

    FLY NIGHT BIRD

    Hovhaness: I will.
    Buchanan: Cool piece!

    O, and Rimski-Korsakov! I have that stuff, too.

    If I have some time on my hand I'll do that playlist. Could be fun.

    A stunning version of Lili Boulanger's epic piece...

    Veille Prierre Bouddhique

    love

  17. NP: The Sea Named Solaris - Tomita; J.B. Bach
    From the album COSMOS.

    I love how this was (a) a part of the soundtrack of the series by Carl Sagan and is (b) a tribute to Eduard Artemjew.

    I almost want to include "Thief of Bagdad" as a classical orchestral suite and not even bother to call it film music. It rivals Rimsky-Korsakov in terms of orchestration, Tchaikovsky in terms of melody. I noticed that no one responded to the new release of Rozsa material on his own thread. No comment necessary
    Tom
    listen to more classical music!

    I love all the CHANDOS film score releases too, I'll be getting the Rozsa release.

    Did you listen to the Boulanger piece I linked above Tom?
    On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt
  20. I gave the release it's due praise on the "Now playing" thread. It's brilliant!

    Brilliant is an understatement. This isn't film music it's as good as any tone poem I have in my collection and I have 100's. A little bit of rearranging to make it fluid for the classical listener and it could be performed as part of a symphony concert. It's that good.
    Tom

  23. NP:
    Roy Buchanan: Fligh ... Night Bird

    This has a distinct Pink Floyd vibe to it. Very cool!

    Alan Hovhaness: Mysterious Mountain
    Seattle Symphony, Gerard Schwarz

    shocked shocked omg shocked shocked

    Fantastic!

    Glad you discovered "Mysterious Mountain" at last. The best way to go is to order the CD which includes that piece and Williams' "Five Sacred Trees" (my favourite concert piece of his). Plus some other good ones.

    With all due respect, that is not the best way to go if you want to discover more of Hovhaness music, I would order THIS CD which includes Mysterious Mountain and other works by Hovhaness.

    Including this sublimely beautiful piece Alleluia & Fugue, very very Vaughan Williams influenced. Thor, you need to hear this piece.

    True, but if you want Williams' BEST concert piece in addition to a great performance of that particular Hovhanness piece, it's a great buy.

    I just edited my above post. Thor, go listen to Alleluia & Fugue.

  28. I thought there were traces of Rozsa in "Alleluia & Fuge". Probably we all hear our favourite composers in other people's work.

    NP: Symphony No. 19 "Vishnu" by Alan Hovhaness
    Sevan Philharmonic conducted by the composer. A recording from 1971.

    Well, this is far more modernist than Mysterious Mountain. Great, great music nontheless.
