nipper Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 last night I attended a performance of Matthew Hindson's 'Schubert-inspired' The Rave and the Nightingale. Performed by the Goldner String Quartet, with CSO, in the acoustically excellent Llewellan Hall in Canberra ÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ãƒâ€¦Ã‚¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚ as they say, a work of enormous energy and popular appeal. 'Twas superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falko Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Some "sophisticates" may think the harmonica is a a bit below them, all I can say is do yourself a favour. For those of you who do not know, the theme song from the Lone Ranger comes from the William Tell Overture. It took the Lone Ranger theme song to bring them to their feet. Click below !!

alonso Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 JoaquÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâ€Â â€â„¢ÃƒƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚ÂÂn Rodrigo's moving Concierto de Aranjuez. Yes geoq, that is brilliant. Haven't listened to it for ages, got it somewhere, but funny thing is as soon as you mentioned it the opening bars came into my mind. Stirring is what I'd call it.

geoq Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Core 'ngrato There are many versions of this classic written for Enrico Caruso by Salvatore Cardillo in 1911. I have chosen a 1961 version by Franco Corelli. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRsSiHUOmoM And a 1930's version by Tino Rossi Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoq Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 One of the best selling classical music recordings of all time and certainly the most successful recording of a new composition in the history of the classical record business - Henryk GÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâ€Â â€â„¢ÃƒƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚³recki - Symphony NÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒÂ¢Ãƒ¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡ÃƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚º3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVITZUQ_uIU A solo soprano sings a different Polish text in each of the three movements. The first is a 15th-century Polish lament of Mary, mother of Jesus, the second a message written by a 18 year old girl on the wall of a gestapo prison during World War II, and the third a Silesian folk song of a mother searching for her son killed in the Silesian uprising. The first and third movements are written from the perspective of a parent who has lost a child, and the second movement from that of a child separated from a parent.

arty Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 http://www.flixxy.com/trumpet-solo-melissa-venema.htm I don't give much for Andre Rieu's showmanship; but in this piece, he stays very much in the background and leaves the stage to a 13-year old girl. And does she ever deserve to be on centre stage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
