Classical Music Thread
Discuss the classics...........
All genres, eras, and periods, like.......
Medieval
Renaissance
Baroque
Classical
Romantic
Styles of Music - both secular and non-secular
Opera both Seria and Buffa (Arias, Preludes, Overtures, favourite Canzone, etc.)
Symphonies
Chamber Music
Gregorian Chant....... those monks, lol.
No military music, lol. Although 1812 is kind of........... okay, not.
Your favourite composers........
Haydn, Vivaldi, Shostakovich, Mozart, Orff, even modern/contemporary classic composers, like Gershwin and Stravinski.
Oh, and favourite artists who bring the music alive. One of my favourites, Kiri Te Kanawa - funny how most people cannot pronounce it properly.
When I was studying music at UBC, I spent countless hours locked up in Sedgwick Library's listening room. Do they even have it anymore? Lol. The name Wilson rings a bell.
Anyway............ gear heads can appreciate the arts, right?

Browsing through Burnaby Public Library's music stacks, I came across this "Vivaldi Opera Arias," CD. I took it out and damn. The best cut in this album is not on youtube, but the following is from one of the other arias on the CD.
One of the better recordings of Rimsky-Korsakoff's Scheherazade. Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony. I just received an SACD of this timeless recording.
Background of what the music is based on..........
For those who just can't wait for the recognizeable passage/movement, skip to 20:44 on.
I guess most people couldn't listen to the whole thing without pulling their hair out, but everything has its place and the build up is awesome. A story told through music.
I'm no afficianado, but I do listen to some classical music on occasion. I went through a period where I tried to discover it more, and it turned out that I really enjoyed Baroque music the most - Bach, Vivaldi, Handel mostly.
I especially enjoy harpsichord, it just does it for me.

Some Canadian content (Canadian Brass).
Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor. I remember doing an analysis of this piece by Bach in my Music Composition class at UBC. Yes, I studied music at UBC.

Another great Canadian artist.........
Gould starts at around 18:02. However, listen to the young Bernstein before that. Explains so much. What greats like Fritz Reiner, Seiji Ozawa, Herbert von Karajan, Arturo Toscanini and the like are all about. Interpretations and bringing to life, the scribblings on a sheet of paper.
Feeling a little nervous and unprepared... but also really excited for a competition this weekend.
Decided to pick up piano again after a few years of hiatus since any finalists get to perform with the orchestra here at school.. would be a really cool way to cap off my degree.
Despite the #YOLO attitude when entering, I'm still feeling stagefright?
That said, I keep coming back to the Grieg Concerto. I like the way it makes me feel.
One of those amazing performances. I would love to take in a performance at this venue.

Xaver Varnus plays Toccata and Fugue in D minor on the great Sauer Organ of the Berliner Dom. Recorded live on the Opening Night of the "Berliner Internationaler Orgelsommer 2013". At the time of its dedication in 1905, the great Sauer Organ of the Berliner Dom was the largest in Germany, with its 7269 pipes and 113 registers, distributed across four manuals and pedals.
Hory jumpin' Jiminy Crickets........... Fugue this shit!

Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni.

Puccini's Madamme Butterfly
Operas are definitely classical music, but I really love Broadway Musicals (musical theatre). If I had money, I would travel the world to the great halls to watch broadway musicals. Hell, even high school musicals are great. I remember John Oliver used to produce some good musicals way, way back. I can't imagine high school musicals with cutbacks to the arts is even a thing these days. Mind you, I am totally out of touch.

The Swan from Camille Saint-Saens' Carnival of Animals. This one makes me tear up for some reason.
Definitely want this played at my funeral. It is said that swans sing just before they die. Must be listened to in complete isolation. Music............ so damn powerful.
