Anybody Like Classical Music?

With all due respect to Ludwig Van and Wolfie, JS IS the greatest composer. He can move mountains and nourish the soul at the same time.

I attended a Lang Lang concert of Beethoven's 4th Concerto, I wish I'd seen him play Bach.

 
Anastasia Huppmann has gone silent, she hasn't released a video this year. A shame, we need her now more than ever. She was born in St Petersburg but now makes Vienna her home.

I hope it's not Covid related, she's ten days younger than Emma Stone. Maybe she's taking a break, she has plenty of time.

I enjoy classical music and jazz. Sometimes instrumental jazz sometimes vocal jazz. I don't think it's dying, I just think people don't really talk about it much. My friends don't listen to that stuff and give me a funny look when I play it lol I don't care though i liiiiike it!

That's the spirit Alma!

Alexandra Kuznetsova is a graduate of Moscow's Conservatory of Music, she has massive chops. So far she's only played one Tchaikovsky piece on her YT channel. The rest are her arrangements of rock songs, not that I mind, they are excellent.

Have you heard of 2 cellos? They are from Czech republic I believe. They play all kinds of classical music. It's just two guys with their cello's and they are amazing!
 
Keep em coming folks.

Wow she's awesome and Muslim as well - does danmand know about her?

I played the cello in my younger daze, not very well but I tried. They have a complete concert on YT of their show at the Colosseum of Verona, you have to be very good to play there.

Nice mash-up.

They do a beautiful rendition of U2s with or without you. Brought tears to my eyes. So beautifully played. This is a version where they mix in 'Time to say goodbye' by Andrea Boccelli.

It's just beautiful.

Sibelius with breakfast, interesting Polaris. This was the piece that prompted my boycott of concerts at Roy Thompson Hall.

You don't mess with Sibelius!

I'm assuming lovely Anastasia left St Petersburg, she doesn't find Vladimir Putin to be the Ultimate Studmuffin.
