What classical music did you listen to today?

[Fretless]

Richard Strauss--Ariadne auf Naxos

 

[Udyret]

Lots of organ music: Oliver Messiaen "Apparation de l'Eglise éternelle" and "L'Ascension",

Johann Pachelbel "Ricercare in c-minor," J.S. Bach "Prelude and fugue in B-major", and

Marcel Dupre "Prelude and fugue in g-minor". The reason for the quantity is, that I was

the page turner at a concert performed by my teacher. Great stuff and performance!

 

[Contratrombone64]

Udyret - wow - I've heard a lot of Paul Hindemith's music, play a lot of his viola music myself (difficult stuff) but I've never actually heard that piece with the bass oboe.

 

[Corno Dolce]

Tournemire's "Sept Chorales-Poemes Sur Les Sept Paroles Du Xrist" played by George Delvallee at St. Sulpice in Paris.

 

[Corno Dolce]

Schönbergs *Verklärte Nacht* - I always get icy chills running up and down my spine whilst listening to this music.

Here is a three-part video of the piece:

R. Schumann - Piano concert in a minor

 

[Kromme]

Mahler - Symphony No.8

 

[Corno Dolce]

[Udyret]

Olivier Messiaen; "Messe de la pentecôte"

 

[Corno Dolce]

Messiaen's "La Nativite Du Seigneur".

 

[Kromme]

Shostakovich - Symphony No.11 "The Year 1905"

 

[Corno Dolce]

Messiaen's "Quatour Sur La Fin Du Temps".

 

[Udyret]

J.S. Bach: "orchestral suite no. 3 in d-major BWV 1068." The one featuring one of the

most beautiful classical pieces ever; the air. It destroys me everytime I hear it.

 

[Kromme]

Corno Dolce may i ask what is the reason for your special affection for Messiaen's music?

 

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Udyret,

JSBach's music destroys you? I find his music upbuilding like a good dialogue.

Cheers,
