Anybody Like Classical Music?

[JackBurton]

This is going to make me sound like a novice in the classical world.
I like the Baroque period. All this strings, the big music swells…gets me right in the feels. I like to also go to the TSO at Xmas.

That's all I know about classical music. I like it in the background on my Sirius but I couldn’t tell you what they play.

I wouldn’t know Glen Gould from Glengary Glen Ross.

But I do like listening to all sorts of music with an open mind. That’s a plus, right?

 

[Insidious Von]

Of course it is.

An open mind is important. In French a bassoon is called a faggot, imho the king of instruments.

The violin nerds are going back on tour and they are bringing gorgeous Sophie Druml with them. I still think she'd kill touring solo, she's too modest.

 

[Vinson]

Here's a wonderful piece

Everything in my classical collection is done by cover or tribute bands. Sadly, I have nothing that's original.

Glengarry Glen Ross has WAY more swearing.

No song is better at inspiring crowds.
Folk songs like Danny Boy are as inspiring but they are cultural, Pomp and Circumstance is universal

Pomp and Circumstance is a series of five marches for orchestra composed by Sir Edward Elgar. The first march, in D major, is the most famous of the series and is often played at graduation ceremonies . The title Pomp and Circumstance comes from a phrase in Shakespeare's Othello that refers to triumph in battle.

A treasured item in my musical collection, Schubert liked to take his time. He was more interested in atmosphere than virtuosity.

 

[Insidious Von]

Every once in awhile i'll get a recommendation from Dave Hurwitz that hits instantly.

 

[Vinson]

This is a wonderful piece. Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca look beautiful. Their dress and jewelry look very elegant. Those who saw Shawshank redemption will remember this song.

I love it; never would have thought. But it helps me focus when I'm studying; it creates the perfect atmosphere for a great study session. It also has a calming effect when I'm feeling anxious and soothes my anxiety by keeping me grounded and staying present. My Classical Bangerz playlist is just that-- bangerz

When I was getting my CAD certificate I listened to Haydn.

One of the most beautiful delicate pieces, requires silence in the room

 

[Ponderling]

I like old school recorded classical music.
LP's - RCA with their Red Seal, and London/Decca with their ffrr line of LP's.
Angel, Deutch Grammofon as well.

ffrr is nice because they were often just a two mic affair hung in the mddle of the studio and a lot of them are small groups recorded in a single take,
And if the muscians were not photogenic, who cares.

Hearing it on a good old stereo driving full range speakers does it for me way more over ear buds with Youtube as a source.

I wonder if I could learn to play that piece even though i cannot play? Why not?

Learn the right hand by itself then the left hand by itself then combine them ???????

Any need to learn years of music theory first ?

That you have to learn years of music theory first seems like BS

You can do it , take lessons.

Any reason to take lessons to learn a few notes and chords?

If you know how to read music notation you're ahead of the game.

Gorgeous Sophie Druml plays Chopin's slow burn Polonaise-Fantaisie.

TwoSetViolin will be back in Toronto on Nov 5th. As a Patronato of the Arts, I get ticket options for incoming concerts. I'll probably get to meet Eddy and Brett, I'll resist the urge to give Sophie a big sloppy kiss.

Amazing audience sounds like a choir
