- Comment Good idea, Tom, I can advise you two performances : - on CD : with Christa Ludwig as Judith and Walter Berry as Bluebeard : certainly the most exquisite interpretation of this work and with Istvan Kertesz (himself Hungarian) as conductor. And what is very important and necessary : the opera is ...

- Comment If I may recommend you, music-lovers, a work that means a lot for me is BARTOK'S only opera : BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE : (an opera that takes only 1 hour). Why is it so important for me ? First the subject : Bluebeard is unable to love the 6 wives he murdered (in reality they are all alive). When he ...

- Comment You are right if you say that Tom was refering to Gerswin's Rhapsody in Blue when he mentioned that this work might have been a step to appreciate the valor of Classical Music for it is very accessible. My response about the importance of The Rite of Spring had no other reason than to explain what ...

- Comment Hello Tom, I don't think that it was the intention of Stravinsky to write The Rite of Spring as a way to help people to get acquainted with Classical Music. It was clearly that he wrote the work to show to music-adepts that there was another manner of making music : music that didn't accept ...

- Comment Hello Edmund, I agree completely what you wrote about Respighi's "Pines of Rome" : it is obvious that the place it got in "Fantasia 2000" has helped this work becoming very popular. But without this "publicity" it remains a masterpiece : the choice of the parts is ...

- Comment Hello everyone, Many thanks for your reactions : to respond to Tom's reaction about the difference between The Rite of Spring and Rhapsody in Blue. There is no doubt about it that The Rite of Spring had a much greater impact on the evolution of Classical music : this is a work of immense power, ...

- Comment Dear friends, I just noticed that you want me to give more details about the music I love the most (if I have to write this down I need several pages, but I can give you a very selected list of my favourites) : First there is "Das Wohltemperirte Clavier" from J.S. Bach : 48 preludes en ...

- Comment [quote][b]DreamTheater wrote[/b] :beer: After this slight deviation how about we discuss some classically themed movies we've seen. There are only two I've watched and they have been great. 'A Late Quartet' starring Christopher Walken and Philip Seymour Hoffmann as one half of a string quartet. I ...

- Comment I can't judge what they are doing on stage while playing for I have only the CD with the 5 piano-version of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring but what I hear confirms my opinion that they are great artists. It is not obvious to convert such a difficult score into an interpretation for an ensemble of 5 ...

- Comment I must say that I don't completely agree with you for I find the music of Gorecki not really minimalistic in the way of the compositions of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. I suggest you listen to the 2nd symphony of the Polish composer (called Copernicus) or his "Beatus Vir". It is true ...

- Comment Hello dear friends, I liked your response to my enthusiastic feeling concerning Gorecki's 3th symphony (which is indeed a masterpiece that delivers emotions of sorrow but also hope in the power of and the belief in the divine) But there are other great works that deserve special attention : every ...

- Comment Hello, I'm Robert, the father of Gilles and Thomas, My love for classical music is a real passion in my life : my interest goes from the Gregorian chant until the music of the 20th century but above all there is God among the composer's : J.S. BACH : what this genius has written is mental food ...
