ArrowMan's MUSICAL CORNER

This is amazing -- to find a music thread within a necro site! Now, tell me this. Do you think a music site would, for even a single minute, tolerate a necro thread? The answer is...ABSOLUTELY NOT! So, the acceptance of diversity manifest in the existence of this thread at CDG is laudable.

I'm glad to have seen Barbra Streisand mentioned a few times. I do like classical music, but her voice is a natural wonder.

Thank you, Larry, for sharing your love of music!
 
Ah ArrowMan I see we have very similar tastes in music , Wagner is fantastic and one of my favorite composers, I love Der Ring Des Nibelungen and nearly all his works , he is thought to be the first to introduce the Leitmotif or Theme although I prefer Cue to introduce individual character and has been used effectively even in Dr Who at poignant moments . you have posted links to the overture to Tanhauser which is great but I also like the Pilgrims chorus from the same , here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUm_T_a8_Ok
Another favorite in the vein of Rienzy is The Radetsky , which of coarse you are expected to clap along with as per
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHFf7NIwOHQ
And another of my favorites but possibly not so well know by Pietro Mascagni , and this is my favorite rendition

And last, one to stir the possum and no doubt will cause some flack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxYcTKcWrIw
Time to leave before the flack starts but seriously thanks heaps , i had not listened to some of your suggestions for quite some time and i found them very refreshing indeed, a shame it took me so long to discover this thread. All the best and keep them coming.
 
My piano teacher friend (no, I'm not taking lessons from him!) and I are doing 2 movements from Dave Brubeck's Points On Jazz piece - A La Turk, and Rag - in May at his house that he puts on every year for his musical friends. There are a few performers, some soloists, and some playing duets. There might even be a guitar player. We just rehearsed this past weekend and it's finally coming together! For those of you who don't know, Dave Brubeck died recently in his 90's. He was a genius in unconventional time signatures.

We must always do our best to
calm the inner vicious beast
that is allas always within all men
that is so vividly portrayed upon this very website ...
to strive to be our better selves
and thereby be closer to the glory
and peace
of the vast heavens above

Cantata No. 208
"SHEEP SHALL SAFELY GRAZE"
by
Johann Sebastian Bach

Be patient ... the commercial will soon pass
and you then shall hear this glorious inspirational music
that will lift you from earthy pastures to the constellations and stars above...
I gurantee it​

beautiful tune arrow............
 
A great piece of music but unfortunately not by Albinoni. Also the style is not baroque, possibly late nineteenth century. The actual composer is one giazotto. an Italian musicologist. And whilst Karajan has many virtues as a conductor if not as a human being, particularly in his pre Berlin days with the Philharmonia, he manages to reduce the adagio to mere mush. He does the same to bach's famous Air as well.

To hear this music at its best try Neville Marriner or I musici. I guess there are other versions on you tube but the site is currently unobtainable. But please avoid Karajan.

And if you want something similar try Nardini's E Minor violin Concerto, Peter Ryber's version is on You tube.

Enjoy

Actually if you want to hear some really beautiful genuine Albinoni try his Oboe Concerto Op9 no2 - the slow movement is really lovely. There should be various versions on You tube.

it puts the pastiche giazotti into the shade.

I am well aware of the controversy as to who composed "Adagio in G minor." Thank you for the further erudition.

Maestro Neville Marriner is a superb conductor and thank you for this stellar recommendation.

Cheers!
