Here the musician control of his expression is exquisite and blossom in pure poetry...
Poetry grounded in the earth is sacred music... Especially in Japan...
Nanae Yoshimura is an accomplished musician in my book :
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

Quite a 40-year journey. I believe that music defined our species, Homos sapiens, along with other arts. If I remember correctly, @frogman cited a 60-thousand-year-old flute found among the Neanderthals. For now, I guess I will lump Homos sapiens and Neanderthals togeter since most of us have some Neanderthal DNA. I think in the beginning music was as @mahgister said, spiritual, whatever that meant to ancient humanity. Today I think music serves so many purposes. Beauty, nostalgia, sex, perhaps the gamut of human desires. It certainly is a big business, and most of what is purchased won't be around very long. As opposed to Beethoven's Violin Concerto, which I am now listening to, as I test out my new cartridge. Best of luck on your venture. I think it's a fascinating one. |
I just purchased a new phono cartridge I am trying to break in, so I'm not streaming for a while and can't listen to your suggestions. I thank you though for those that have gotten through to me. In a few weeks I'll be able to sample things again. But throw less at me. I can perhaps at most listen to one piece every few days. Thanks |
