Classical Music for Aficionados
I would like to start a thread, similar to Orpheus’ jazz site, for lovers of classical music.
I will list some of my favorite recordings, CDs as well as LP’s. While good sound is not a prime requisite, it will be a consideration.
Classical music lovers please feel free to add to my lists.
Discussion of musical and recording issues will be welcome.
I’ll start with a list of CDs. Records to follow in a later post.
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Vanguard Classics — Vienna Festival Orch. Prohaska, conductor.
Prokofiev: Scythian Suite et. al. DG — Chicago Symphony Abbado, conductor.
Brahms: Symphony #1. Chesky — London Symph. Orch. Horenstein, conductor.
Stravinsky: L’Histoire du Soldat. HDTT — Ars Nova. Mandell, conductor.
Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Analogue Productions. — Dallas Symph Orch. Johanos, cond.
Respighi: Roman Festivals et. al. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
All of the above happen to be great sounding recordings, but, as I said, sonics is not a prerequisite.

Well jim, not a few were Scottish immigrants , If you ever see the films showing the British troops getting readily off the landing boots on D -DAY ( I think every American has)got news for you, they were Canadian and they got miles ahead of Brits and Americans that grim day. But must be said the Americans did have by far the worst beach . In any event , perhaps the truest thing old Nappy ever said was " There are no bad soldiers, just bad Generals " . General Currie proved that ! In spades . |
Wee snip for Jim. For many years and still I always watch to see if the players sing the National Anthem . Seldom not haft do. This is THE only one of many hundreds that ever all did ! https://youtu.be/DtnZxso4V3Y P.S. have you had your needles yet ? Had my 2nd three days ago , all seems well . UK seems to be ahead . |
Len have you ever heard The Corries sing Flower of Scotland ?. Roy Williamson wrote the song and before it became our second national anthem when he and Ronnie were doing a concert anywhere the crowd would not let them leave the stage until they sang it and sometimes twice. A wee poser for you what's our first anthem, I say that because I haven't came across someone born after 2000 who could tell me our official anthem was. I'm glad you have had you second jag as I have had my first and don't know when I get my second as it could be up to twelve weeks. You take care Len. |
