What Are You Listening To (Classical Version)?

[Mirc]

Nah, that's a different one, it actually says so in the beginning of the video (BWV 578). My guess was just based on the fact that the particular fugue I meant is very well-known (even more so in the guitar world, which is why it was more of a hopeful guess rather than one based on an actual reason ).

Here's the one I meant:

(played by a very good friend of mine, actually)
The original for violin is in G minor, although most of the guitar versions are in A minor.

Ah. Excuse my laziness. That's a very beautiful piece (as I would expect of any Bach fugue). Thanks for sharing.

I'm pretty sure the name of the thread refers to classical music in general, not just the time known as the classical period.

As the threadstarter I'm pretty sure as well.

György Ligeti, Articulation

I like it

Here's another one: Rhapsodie in Blue, with Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang as soloists

I'm not sure, but I think it's a shortened version? Anyway, excellent piano playing

Chopin's 11th Etude Op 10

Listening from a CD, but here's a randomly found and not really listened to youtube version:

I like it

Thank you. (I now went out and borrowed Ligeti's Continuum CD from the public library - it was the only one they had...) Actually I also was listening to some pieces by Otto Ketting, but couldn't find a video for any of them.

 

[Jan H]

The only Otto Ketting piece I know (and even attempted to play myself...):

Link to video.
The piece is often played on French horn as well. I have a live recording somewhere, played by Jacob Slagter, the solo hornist of the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

 

[Agent327]

You play? I have Ketting's Early Orchestral Works (1957-63) on loan, but no luck finding anything from it online.

Behold the epicness of LvB.

[Agent327]

Yes, the epicness of Ludwig Van is very beholdworthy indeed.

In this movie, I'm on the third row on the left, playing flugel horn:

[Agent327]

I did (though I've no idea what a flugelhorn is... ). I like that name "Kempenbloei Achel", don't know why...

Stravinsky, Apolloon musagète (never fails to move me). Opening score:

I did (though I've no idea what a flugelhorn is... ). I like that name "Kempenbloei Achel", don't know why...

It's called "bugel" in Dutch. It's a brass instrument with he same range as a trumpet, but a much more mellow tone. Besides in "fanfare orchestras" (form of amateur orchestra typical for The Netherlands and Belgium, like a wind band in the US), it is also used in jazz music as a solo instrument. look for "Chuck Mangione" on youtube (I can't, because Youtube is blocked at work ). Russian classical trumpet star Sergei Nakariakov has also made some excellent CD recordings on the flugelhorn.

 

[Agent327]

Thanks. Totally off topic here, but I noticed this is also Achel: http://images.google.nl/imgres?imgu...=nl&sa=X&tbs=isch:1&ei=wzaRS53OEtX6-Qbtg_CaBg

I can never get tired of Shostakovich'. His music is just so emotive, so passionate.

Langgaard - Music of the Spheres

This is a wonderful work, way ahead of its time and tremendously springlike (as I think you'll agree from the opening).
