Music-first things first

[dun]

I have always been into country and even country rock. Not rock or classical. There is one piece of classical music I heard as a little kid that has always stuck in my head. I will also say that it is the only classical piece I can ever recall enjoying. That said, the link is to that "ONE" piece. It is long, but I think worth it. I listen to it several times a day. This is the best version of it I have heard and I have listened to dozens of attempts to do it.
With all that, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KgpEru9lhw

I've always liked it too. Suppose to be one of the most sensual songs ever written. (Does it turn you on?) :lol2: :lol2: :hide:

Good stuff Dun. It doesn't hurt for a farm boy to have a little so called culture.

It's to long for that.

It's one of those deal where I don;t know anything about music. I just know what I like.

I like a pretty wide variety of music, classical, country, rock, opera, I do not like or consider rap to be music and screaming into a mic is not singing it's a message to turn off the radio. Here's one that does it for me when I hear it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g3ENX3aHlqU

My hearing is a bit screwed up, most women (hers included) sounds flat and some parts I don;t hear at all. For women vocals I prefer ones like Reba Mcintyre and Ann Murray. That bit deeper voice I can hear it all. Too many years of working around real high pitched high speed chain printers did the job on my hearing.

"Ravel's Balero" has always been my favorite piece of music. Number two is "Schubert's symphony #8" (Unfinished Symphony) and third is "Clare de Lune". Only three "classical" pieces I like.

Heh,I'm new-ish here so y'all don't know hardly nothin' about me,but I play cello and classical is basically all I play :lol2: Wanted to start up in banjo but with the folks I've got it's not smiled upon. Have an uncle who plays 4 different bluegrass instruments and is in a bluegrass band,though! Oh,and I also play harmonica

Andrea Bocelli is actually blind,but has an amazing voice. When I watch that video I just think, "Wow,that must be annoying,singing with some lady hugging my shoulder." :lol2:

 

[Workinonit Farm]

I love Bolero. That's a good rendition of it. Andrea Bocelli is no slouch either.

This piece of music always gives me goose bumps one of my all time favourites. and the Bolero always reminds me of the English Ice Skaters Torvil and Dean when they got the perfect 10 at the olympics, what a duo they were.

I likes lots of different kinds of music, I'm not big on classical, but there are a few pieces I really like at this time of year.. I'd MUCH rather listen to Handel's Messiah than any rendition of Jingle Bells and all the new garbage thrown at your ears in every shopping mall from halloween to valentines.

I have 2 recordings of the London Philharmonic performing the Messiah, the CD version was recorded in 1958, the LP a few years later (1962?).. Some common names are Frederick Jackson (director), Helen Watts (Soprano) and Roger Stalman (Bass).. some absolutely phenomenal voices.
Listening to this music it is important (nearly critical) to have a good stereo system to get full effect, and reproduce as closely as possible what it would sound like in a theater (I did see it live once too).

this is the cd version I have... darned cheap, no regrets about getting it http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004 ... B00004U1DN

A friend of mine used to be a DJ at the biggest CW station in Springfield. We got to BSing one day about what type of music we liked. It blew his mind when I sent him a CD I had made of my favorite songs/tunes/music. The original Jimmy Rodgers, Belero, Danny Okeefe, Elton Britt, a song from the life of brian, Anne Murray, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Webb Pierce, Whitney Houston, etc. A lot of those were just a single song by someone, but the variety was what he couldn;t fathom.

Thought people might get a kick out of this version of Bolero:

My father was a music professor, so I grew up in a pretty cultured household. However, I can also remember listening to 'Hot for Teacher' on LP when I was about 5 just being blown away. It didn't matter what kind of music it was, as long as it was done well. That was my dad's rule.
This is my all time favorite classical piece. What I like is that it starts out so simple and then it just explodes. There is no one better than Mozart. It's a shame he died so young. Who knows what he would have come up with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOXdAa-G4bo
