What Are You Listening To (Classical Version)?

[Agent327]

Never heard of it...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

It's the Canadian National Anthem.

 

[classical_hero]

I would not call a National Anthem as classical music.

 

[Agent327]

Actually, our "radio 4" had (has?) as closing theme a symphonic rendition of the Dutch national anthem, which was a significant improvement on the vocal version.

 

[Agent327]

If anybody can provide a link to a full rendition of Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring I'd greatly appreciate it.

Gershwin - Piano Concerto 1st movement.

 

[Imcalfin]

Händel - Dixit Dominus (the 3rd movement:"Tecum principium in die virtutis")

About Beethoven, Napoleon and all that: "Emperor" is the 5th Piano concerto and "Eroica" the 3rd Symphony. Both great music, even if I like the concerto better.

Thx! That's just what I meant. (Found several versions, also for chamber orch., but didn't know that was the origina version; this one has rather poor sound quality, though.)

The Cinderella Waltz, Alan Perry -- via Pandora.

Don't know that one either...

This is the final movement.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VJpciouQdg - Piano Concerto in A minor By Evard Grieg.

Reminds me of traveling. On a Bike. In a Danish Field. In Sjælland. With the wind blowing. With German Ships traveling by.
