Frederik.Sjölund · Aug-02-2006, 16:05

corno · Aug-05-2006, 00:10

How is listening to Hans Zimmer close to listening to Classical?

giovannimusica · Aug-05-2006, 02:23

Hi Corno,

Your reply to Fredrik Sjoelund reminded me of Victor Borge's humour - simple yet lusciously effective.

Cheers,

Giovanni

Today I listened to a CD entitled "Bouquet de France" performed by Bernhard Leonardy on the world's finest organ at St. Sulpice. A thoroughly delightful program adeptly interpreted on a ravishing instrument.

Today it's been Johann Hummel's Rondo "Retours a Londres"

Nice, Beethovenian music if a touch lightweight

Hi there JohnM,

You certainly have listed some interesting works there- from what you have mentioned, I only know the Beethoven (although not that transcription) and the Chopin, lol! Oh well, one can`t know every work...

Btw, feel free to introduce yourself on the intro. board; then we can give you a proper welcome!

Hi Rojo!

You should really try to have a listen to the transcription, it's beautiful and I'm firmly of the opinion that it's more effective than LvB's own transcription of the concerto for piano and orchestra. As far as I am aware there is only one commercially available recording, by Michael Collins on DG records c/w Mozart Clarinet Concerto (chestnut maybe, but still lovely)

JohnM · Aug-12-2006, 21:42

...While tonight's listening is Schubert's String Quartets Nos. 10 and 13!

rojo · Aug-27-2006, 07:19

Today it was Sviatoslav Richter playing Ravel`s Alborada del Grazioso, followed by Chopin`s Revolutionary Etude. Wow, very impressive. Great technique, flawless playing. I found these two pieces suited his playing style well. Or vice versa.

ParryHotter · Aug-28-2006, 07:52

Right now I'm making my way through Bach's Brandenburg Concerto's, after just finishing Beethoven's 7th and 8th symphonies.

traveller · Aug-29-2006, 00:51

I'm listening to Chabrier: Piano Works at the moment. The current track is Improvisation Andantino. It's excellent.

_music_4_ever_ · Aug-29-2006, 01:39

Today I listened some baroque music (J. Leclair, B. Ferrari), Renaissance music, romantic music (G. Merkel - 4 hands organ Sonata in C minor ) and classical music (Mozart - Requiem in D minor).

ParryHotter · Aug-29-2006, 03:14

Today is Beethoven Piano Sonata day, I started at the beginning and we'll see just how far I make it. Currently the 4th mvt. of his 4th Sonata in Eb.

rojo · Aug-30-2006, 06:56

So, you gonna tell us how far you got, Parry?

ParryHotter · Aug-30-2006, 17:14

Only through the Pathetique, so only 24 left to go!

rojo · Aug-31-2006, 01:48

Ok, good luck with that! (just kidding

; keep us posted

)

Love the Pathètique, btw.
