    NP : IF THIS BASS COULD TALK - Stanley Clarke



    A really fine, very melodic jazz album with mostly original compositions except for Charles Mingus's Goodbye Pork Pie Hat which is given a Weather Report like treatment here.

    Excellent stuff!

    RACHMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO #4 Earl Wild Piano with Jascha Horenstein conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

    We've been listening lately to a series of piano works from McCreary, Wiseman, Edwards, and Lang Lang. If you listen to this concerto it sounds like there could be three pianists it is so technically challenging, yikes. I had to take a break from miracle. Wild certainly understands how to play Rachmaninoff.

    Rachmaninov should come with a warning that anything less than a virtuoso piano player will not be required.

    Not quite so technical but a very beautiful memory is Bath's Cornish Rhapsody.

  11. I'm beginning to think our dad would likely find his place in this very topic talking to Tim and Tom mainly and mostly. You see he's into classical music and nothing else. Maybe I should get him register here, but he's a complete noob when it comes to forums, let alone PCs. And his (long) posts would most likely crash the server within minutes. So I'm thinking it would not be a good idea. biggrin

    Could that be why you have a love of orchestral music Gilles?

    Your Dad would be welcome here on this thread, perhaps Tom & I could turn him on to film scores!? wink

    My dad is also a classical music buff (far more than I am, even though I'm also a fan), but he wouldn't be found posting on an internet messageboard about it. He barely replies to e-mails.
    I am extremely serious.

    Sibelius Symphony No. 4. This was easily his darkest work and one that he called a psychological symphony. The New Zealand Symphony is in fine form on this one.

    I'm sure you would. But his stance on classical music being the ONLY music in the world worth listening to is not something I agree with.

    And I just saw he has the same age as you. cool

    Maybe that's why me and my bro have been into film music since we were little. Now I admit I like some classical stuff (mostly the lyrical or powerful music) but my precious time is entirely devoted to film and game scores and the other genres I'm into. So I won't deliberately put on a classical disc if I can just pick something from my collection.

    Which is very narrow-minded, I admit. But I can live with it for now. smile

    NP: Making Mirrors - Gotye

    Very good album by this group whom I never of heard before this beautiful clip. Laidback, easygoing pop with an edge. At times a bit reminiscent of The Black Crowes ins tyle and tone, but less moody. Atmospheric, certainly, but not moody.

    The referenced song Someone I Used To Know is a highlight with a strong cynical, hurt feel to it, but every song is worth listening to. The group is clearly very musical, with a diverse taste and talent to spare.

    I wasn't immediately taken until the chorus changed my mind. Very good tune, the singing makes the song.

    Even the video is well done.

    My exact thoughts, Gilles! I agree with everything you said.

    NP: CHESS (Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus)

    My alltime favourite musical with some fantastic songs and a great score too. I often sing "Anthem" myself in various settings.

    You really don't need to bother Tom.

    I don't like it Thor though it does have a couple of good songs, I'm not a fan of musicals but I can easily name ten that are far better.

    To each their own etc.

    There is really only one type of musical that I enjoy, and that is the big, lush, contemporary stage kind (or alternatively off-Broadway). I do love my Andrew Lloyd-Webber, for example, which I know you hate. I also adore Alan Menken's stuff. And Eric Woolfson's material (former Alan Parsons Project member).

    But I've never been remotely interested in old-style Hollywood film musicals.
    I am extremely serious.
