[Music] Classical music.

Mostly neo-classical chill, this is two hours of absolute bliss.

Love a bit of classical. Greatly enjoying Arvo Part’s Tabula Rasa at the moment:

Also really enjoying Bach’s Cello Suites:

I have a love/hate relationship with classical music radio. Some days I find it enjoyable, others I get annoyed by the ads (Classic FM) or there being more talking about the music than actual music (Radio 3)

Hania Rani, what a gem.

Hania Rani, what a gem.

I really enjoyed that, so I listened to the solo record. I really enjoyed that too, the solo record reminded me a bit of “Spaces” era Nils Frahm. Lovely stuff.

Steven's missus and one of the finest pieces ever written, what's not to like?

During my occasional remembering to search for any more releases of Georg Pelecis compositions, I found this fairly recent album:

Latvian Radio Archive: Georgs Pelēcis.

Take your pick really, the whole album is superb! Here's a flavour of the gorgeousness to be found within...

My Dad ran the Music Library in Church Street in the 70s-90s (Cote Brassiere last time I was in town), so I grew up with it. I used to babysit for next door from when I was about 12, mainly so I could listen to their Bowie collection!

Still enjoy it, but veer towards CDs and Radio 3 more then Classic FM, as the adverts drive me nuts, and the same pieces come round. But it's different music for different occasions, last week a Mahler symphony was an excellent accompaniment to a drive to work right through the heart of the Lake District, with Marconi Union on the way back.

I’m similar yet opposite. My Dad played and taught guitar, mainly classical but also flamenco, jazz and folk and my mum relentlessly had Radio 3 on round the house. It bored me silly and I still can’t abide it. It’s possible I’ll grow up at some point in my life but right now I’m in my late 40s and still mainly playing reggae, house, soul, indie and stuff like Idles and Fontaine’s DC.

What you need is the Radio 3 gateway drugs of Late Junction, Night Tracks, Unclassified, World Routes, Night Tracks mix.

You'll be hooked before you know it And still be young at heart.

A stunning new offering from soprano Anna Netrebko comes out on DG soon.

Featuring stuff from R. Strauss, Verdi, Wagner, Cilea, Tchaikovsky, Puccini and Purcell.

Niiice.

In the meantime.....the one some Bolsheviks tried to ban and controversial gem.

55, just bought their album, first time I've heard them. Can't take it out of the player!

Played on R6 of all places yesterday! Beautiful.

Get this in Hi Res on your home system, it doesn't get any better.... honestly.

I was watching Venice; a concert for our climate, from The Teatro de Fenice on Sky Arts yesterday and this was the last classical piece of the evening.
A piece that I have heard many time before but not for a long time.
Anyway I found it on YouTube the perfect antidote to a poor Albion performance.
The composer like Beethoven was stone deaf.
Enjoy.

That's stunning. Despite my normal pompous and hoity toity demeanour, 'classical' music has passed me by, and my musical preferences (as with literature) are idiosyncratic. I have 20 odd classical CDs (lots of Beethoven) but nothing on the iPod and almost a fear of engaging properly with it. Weird. Anyway

Spine tingling duet from Anna Netrebko & Elīna Garanča

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Quite by accident whilst listening to The Planets...

Rather like the time years ago when I watched A Streetcar Named Desire and thought to myself "Ahhh, that's why Marlon Brando is so famous", I listened to The Planets all the way through for the first time last year to see what all the 'fuss' is about. Wow, it's ruddy good. And if it wasn't for his Mars, John Williams wouldn't have had a career!!

Seasonal loveliness from a truly beautiful album.

Try the whole piece (or collection of poems) - it's great.
