What Are You Listening To (Classical Version)?

[Agent327]

After watching the French movie Tous les matins du monde I found this, played by my fellow countryman Wieland Kuyken:

The movie is a ficticious story about the lifes of both Monsieur de Sainte Colombe and Marin Marais, two of the greatest French viola da gamba players from the baroque era. Clips from the movie can be found on youtube as well.

Very nice (but weird comment - with no subtitles). Made me listen to some more Marais, which I hadn´t done in a whiile.

Some terrific stuff by Bruckner (trombones!):

and I'm not sure if this belongs int he "classical music" thread, but imo it was the closest fit:

Extremely moving, brings tears to my eyes every time I here it again...
From the Swedish movie "As it is in Heaven"

Rossini Ouverture - Il Barbiere di Siviglia

It's bringing back a lot of memories from being in Vienna and seeing this opera performed live!

Hmm, sounds very familiar...

Not really classical but it doesn't really fit anywhere else:

Well, errr, it´s a march... (My dad used to have a record or 2 of those, but they´re all pretty much the same, aren´t they...)

fyi: he's playing a 4-valve flugelhorn here, not a trumpet as suggested in the title of the movie

Boccherini's Musica notturna delle strade di Madrid, Mvt. 5.

I'm a complete classical noob, can anyone recommend other Boccherini pieces or other composers who work in a similar vein?

Oh, and Vivaldi's Concerto for Four Violins in B-minor, Mvt. 3

The title says it all. This is a fairly simple peice, but under that hands of a master here, it is elevated to a higher level.

I kind of buried it between two videos above, but I had a question for you all:

I'm a complete classical noob, can anyone recommend pieces similar to Boccherini's Musica notturna delle strade di Madrid or Vivaldi's Concerto for Four Violins in B-minor, or other composers who work in a similar vein?

Thanks

I don't really have any great idea, but similar composers that you might want to check out include Paganini, Tartini and Corelli.

I love how he gets the bass notes to sustain through (and I love how we strikes them at the beginning with his right hand).
