Quiet One 15 Report post Posted October 19, 2007 I prefer the christmas song (went to the store and sat on santa's lap...asked him to bring my friends all kinds of crap...ect), that one about grandmas(now your mum and your dad said she moved to Peru...)and of course,little black curly hair! To both you and angie! I'm a huge "Friends" fan! The song about her grandma had me laughing for ages. And I keep somewhere between my mp3 collection the song to which Ross and Monica used to dance at the New Year's chapter, just because it reminded me of this scene.

Nevers 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2007 Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Sibelius- the best of the Romantics. Just discovered Mahler: the 5th symphony- awesome. But I don't know how well folks can actually enjoy without drifting, more than an hour of symphony. The Beethoven 9th is manageable though, with that chorus in the 4th movement.

Nevers 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2007 Yeah, Vivaldi's 4 seasons is great. For the Classical enthusiasts, which symphony(ies) or concertoes do it for you? I love the Brahms 2nd, 3rd and 4th symphonies, Tchaikovsky's 4th and 6th, and Beethoven's 6th best. The Brahms violin concerto and PC no.2 are my favourites. The Beethoven PCno.4 aswell and Tchaikovsky's awesome Sleeping Beauty score: nearly 3 hours of awesome work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Beethoven PCno.4 aswell and Tchaikovsky's awesome Sleeping Beauty score: nearly 3 hours of awesome work! Ah, finally a fellow classical music lover! Personally, I think there are two guy above everybody esle: Fernando Bachlonso and Lewis Van Beethoven. Bach: Brandenburg Concertoes. In case I can choose anything else besides conecrtoes, I prefer his works for organ and clavier. He had so much more freedom to express himself there. Perfection in every note. Peole says he had a kind of "mathematical" approach to music, yet it can be so moving it makes you cry. Nobody achieved to make such complex harmonies, while retaining such pure, raw beauty. Besides, he was a nice, simple and rather humble guy. Quite a weird personality among musicians which tend to be either tormented souls or primadonnas. Beethoven: Beethoven's 5th is usually known for its first movement. Few people pays attention to it's second movement ("adagio") which is even more beautiful A true jewel. Go ahead, go beyong the "DADADADOMMM". His chamber concerts are the heart of the Romanticism, even if he is, chronologically, earlier than the Romantic movement. Tchaikovsky: The 1812 Overture still fills me with some kind of derivative patriotism. It actually makes you want to grab a bayonet and go fight the napoleonic army! His Symphony Nr.6th is another proof that he is one of the greatest. You forgot about Mozart (hard to recommend anything, because everything is great, but you have his symphonies, the 40th and 41st being the most widely known. Others in my favorite list include Chopin, Haendel, Mendelsohnn, Lizst, Dvorak, and you definitely MUST have Smetana's "The Moldau". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm don't enjoy the early Classical masters as much as the late Romantics but Handel, Bach definately and Mozart (not so much) I like. In fact, I'm going to a concert of the Mozart Symphony no.41 and Tchaikovsky ViolinConcerto soon. THats my fave Mozart symphony. Mendelssohn and Dvorak are also among my favourites. So you like the '1812 overture' heh? I hate it ! No offense . How about 'March Solenelle', and the Strings Serenade? The height of Romantism- just ask Wikipedia, he he. The 6th Symphony is awesome- for want of a better word. Well, the 5th Symphony is great for patriotism too, it was very popular during the 2nd WorldWar. I know what you mean about the Beethoven 5th Adagio. Try the Tchaikovsky 5th's Andante- very romantic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2007 Really interesting article by the Guardian about modern pop music and how and why it is now dominated by Females instead of males... http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/story/0,,2195824,00.html Pretty much says that it all went downhill for the male boyband after 2002 in the UK thanks partly to Girls Aloud.

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted October 21, 2007 But the real culprits are probably youngsters. The rosy-cheeked masses who loved pop are fractured now. They are forming aesthetic judgments earlier than previous generations. Instead of being told what to like by Smash Hits and record companies, they are roaming the web, favouring outfits like the Kooks over cute boys with no guitars. Good article Ben. I think the above is very true. Who buys music in shops any more? Who watched top of the pops? Oh yeah, they cut it because the answer is no one. To some extent, boys will do this first I think. Probably boys used p2p technology first, but now girls have caught up and hopefully we will see the demise of girl bands shortly too. It's too much to hope for I know. Perhaps another factor is that even young boys, when given the choice will rebel and listen to rap, and now they are given the choice via the internet. Whereas girls will perhaps continue to like their pop bands until they grow up a bit more. Alternatively, older boys might be interested in the soft porn now offered by girl bands, whereas the reverse is unlikely to be the case when they can get cute guys with talent too. Who knows? And the girls will all tell me I'm sexist... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elgo 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 good!classical music! Of the above mentioned I specially like: Vivaldi's 4 seasons, Brandenburg Concertoes, The 1812 Overture, Mozart, Haendel, Peer gynt. I'd add Rossini's overtures,such as L'italiana in Algieri, La Gazza Ladra, El Barbero de Sevilla, William Tell. I also reccommend Saint-Saens: The Carnival of Animals is just awesome, and also the Sonata for clarinet op. 167. Wagner: Tanhauser obviously, but I like Rienzi more. Webber has some nice clarinet concertoes and the concertino. (No, not that Webber.) Hmmm...to mention another one Pachelbel's Canon. Good article Ben. I think the above is very true.

Argento Reloaded 1 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 I like very much spanish guitar music like "Concierto de Aranjuez" (I have a CD by Juliam Beam and english guitarrist...excellent!) Regarding the opera... my half italian heart beat "forte" with it. Personally i think "Carmen" is the best. Did you mention "Alzo spriech Zaratustra" from R. Wagner? I like too, clasical Jazz and Blues. Just to mention "Porgy and Bess" and all Gershwin works are faboulus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2007 Thing is Murray, bands like the Sugababes and Girls Aloud, artists like Madonna, Kylie and Britney etc will ALWAYS appeal to gay men, and they can all count on that market thus females in pop have it slightly easier as they appeal to a separate market. Boybands nowadays are either of the Mcfly or Westlife DNA, the latter appealing nowadays only to Mums and Grandmothers, and the first appealing only to pre-pubescent girls! The old boyband of 5 relatively attractive men singing and dancing is all but lost thankfully. Only because it's old and they lack the ability to adapt like Girls Aloud or similar girl bands can! Girls Aloud also have a whole production team behind them and thus they develop their sound rather than try out completely new ones, which is probably why they are very successful!
