Would that be Philharmoaners? They all moan when the conductor tries a joke but he has not a single funnybone in his body...

Sibelius "Lemminkainen Suite"...

Gustav Mahler--Symphony No.1 {"Titan"}, performed by the Utah Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maurice Abravanel.

Antonin Dvorak--Symphony No.9 in E moll, Op.95 {"From the New World"}, performed by the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by Christoph Von Dohnanyi. The first and last movements are glorious indeed!
Dmitri Shostakovich--Symphony No.7 in C moll, Op.60 {"Leningrad"}, performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Bernard Haitnik. Again, the first and last movements of this work are truly emotionally inspirational.

Jean Sibelius--Symphony No.2 in D, Op.43 and Symphony No.6 in D Moll, Op.104. Both works are performed by the LSO under the baton of Sir Colin Davis.
Antonin Dvorak--Symphony No.9 in E Moll, Op.95 {"From the New World"}, performed by the Cleveland Orchestra led by Christoph Von Dohnanyi.
Benjamin Britten--4 Sea Interludes
Ludwig Van Beethoven--Symphony No.7 in A, Op.92.
Both of these works are performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leonard Bernstein. They are from a Deutsche Grammophon cd entitled "Leonard Bernstein-The Final Concert". They were recorded in August 1990 at Tanglewood. The outpouring of the audience's affection and respect for Bernstein at the end of these performances is simply overwhelming, and gave me goosebumps after hearing their applause and cheering for this man.

Browsing through the Werner Icking archives for some baroque scores, listening to midi and MP3 samples, found some Corelli Sonatas and Maurice Greene voluntaries; downloaded the MIDI files which I can import to Finalé and arrange/edit then feed GrandOrgue.

CD, Thanks for the tip; I'll see if my father has this and borrow it, if not, I'll look to buy it from Amazon.

Got those three recorded by Berliners and Karajan as well. A treat, indeed.

I might try it again, I suppose - Berliner Philharmo****r. Damn it!

Mat, yes indeed, they are wonderful performances. I had to anglicize the spelling of the Berliner you know what to escape from those bloody asterisks! :shake:

Berliner P-h-i-l-h-a-r-m-o-n-i-k-e-r!!
OK! That's outa my system now... :p
Congrats! You did it without the appearance of those bloody asterisks! What's your secret then--the separation of the individual letters in Philharmo****r? Oh snap, it looks like I have done it as well sans the separation. What is going on? :confused: :grin:
