My latest 'find'

I have been listening to a lot of Cipriano de Rore lately. What an amazing composer! Not so much his madrigals (which are more well-known) but his stunning sacred music. My CD contains gorgeous recordings by the Huelgas Ensemble - inspiring! I am going to get my choir Lumina to sing some very soon...

I have also been enjoying hearing my daughter playing Bach on the cello - with musical expression! All those years of hard work all seem so worth while

 

[Montefalco]

Sculthorpe's Piano Concerto

 

[Corno Dolce]

"Art of Fugue"

 

[Soubasse]

Earlier today: Holst "Venus, The Bringer of Peace" with my Yr 8 class, then on the way home, a very enjoyable Guitar Concerto on the radio (not the Rodrigo) which they didn't back-announce and I wish they did!

 

[Montefalco]

The Rite of Spring, by Stravinsky - stirring stuff.

 

[Contratrombone64]

@ Montefalco: yes, but which version? I own about 12 (my favourite Rite recording is Czech Philharmonic with Neumann).

I've been wading my way through The Ring of the Nibelung, English National Opera, in English. Rita Hunter as Broom-holder, Alberto Ramadios as Siegfried and Reginald Goodall at the helm. One of my favourite recordings (despite Goodall's very slow tempi).

 

[wljmrbill]

Verdi Favorites.. a Kultur DVD production..excerpts from: Ernani,Aida,Nabuco,I Lombardi,Falstaff and Othello. Very good and well done.. can get from Blockbusters

 

[Montefalco]

@ David - Mariss Jansons, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. The only other recording I have is with Stravinsky conducting the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, which I don't like as much, although the opening bassoon solo is done extremely well.

Today, listened to Scelsi's Quattro Pezzi (su una nota sola)

 

[Corno Dolce]

Musikalisches Opfer by JSBach.

 

[Montefalco]

'La Nascita del Verbo' by Scelsi

Hi Guys,
i love classic music and listen classic music

I listen to it from time to time​

classical music is perfectly fine while doing homework/studying…my friend did a science fair experiment on that and it showed that classical music helps​

I have the impression that more and more except in upper class families people and their children don't seem to appreciate classical music. That's a pity I think.​

 

[Corno Dolce]
