I am listening to the first time I heard my wife's voice, in January, 1977. She and her sister recorded the Pangasinan love song outside their house in Pantal District, Dagupan City. I still find it one of the most attractive of Philippine traditional songs.

Artur Rubinstein - Beethoven Concerto 4.

"King Artur" at his best in all respects. Good camera work too that highlights the beautiful choreography of Rubinstein's movements.

[rachmaninoff_forever]

I love Carl Vine...

EDIT: For those who want to know: the first piece is Bach/Kempff - Siciliana from BWV 1031.

Sorry wrong thread...

[m1469]

Mozart Sonatas, played by Schiff.  I like!  He's got some fiery and fun stuff going on, and some interesting ideas.

*continues cleaning household*

[patrickd]

I'm listening to Beethoven's Eroica Variations played by Gould

   Anyone know what they're saying?  


Now I'm getting ads in an language with strange looking characters.  (not alligators)


Hm... *Bob surveys that guy's Youtube channel and begins worrying that the Middle East will enter the 21st century, start developing media, but all we'll end up with is is another Telemundo-like product.*    First World problems....

If you watch it on Youtube, there are closed captions but I doubt they're accurate.  There's something about selling your daughter for a car though.  *Bob pictures a new Arabic Youtuber declaring jihad after deciphering the comments on his online videos.*

Right now I am listening to Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis.

[m1469]

Listening, by surprise, to Appassionata 2nd movement.  Didn't even remotely suspect to hear it on this CD.  I was completely in my own world, sorting through papers and clutter, and I suddenly have to stop and listen.  It's a very nourishing music with a lot a beautiful memories for me, and puts my being on track with itself.  Wow!  Hi

[chopin2015]

Hey, m1469  

 Last, I listened to the Valse nobles et sentementales/Richter

I love every single one of those little pieces! I just wish I could watch him play these...

[Bob]

Amusing.

[Bob]

Earworm...

Sad.

I don't normally stop recordings midway through....  but when I do, it's one like that. (Is she going to finish?  Is her voice going to break?  God, that sounds horrible.  What happened to her voice?  Not that it was great before.  Did she practice too much beforehand?  Oh geez, she's still singing.  She's probably getting paid and that's why she's putting herself, and us, through that.  Ouch.  Ouch!  Dang.  Why is she still singing?  She's going to crash soon.  Let's look on the positive side -- 80s singer, but she's still alive.  That's pretty good, right?  On and on....)

[williampiano]

I just started learning to play classical guitar, so I am trying to listen to a wide array of guitar music in order to further educate myself of that world of music. This is a favorite of mine that I am listening to at the moment.

The Russian heaviness treatment is amusing.  But this is the not the Cold War USSR.

The more Ustvolskaya I hear, the more profound I find her music to be. Quite extraordinary.

I'm not sure whether there are any other Jay Chou fans over here... but I am a big fan of him!

He just uploaded this on his channel last night and I've been hooked on it ever since. Been singing this while walking back home (while looking lovesick!) and there were lots of strangers giving me smiles and laughs all around! haha... so fun!

This has to be the most Chopin-like song I have ever heard, so unashamedly romantic (including the MV!) and yet so beautiful!

Leo Ornstein is a beast!! i'm gonna learn this monstrosity when i get the time.

I've been a fan of Chou since I saw "Secret" a few years ago. I enjoyed the soundtrack of that movie immensely, and this song was enjoyable to, though I don't think Chou writes all the material himself. I wonder how much of the writing he does, but can't find any information on that because it's mostly in Chinese. Do you know? I hope he writes his material but I have a feeling he's a pop icon, like Lady Gaga for the Chinese folk.

Have you seen his improvisations? i'm sure he writes and produces all his songs by himself, but i don't think he composes the film scores though, lol.
