i like listening to classical music when i study or need to concentrate (not influenced at all by the so called mozart efffect theory). its just that classical music makes me concentrate better on the work at hand rather than find myself humming or singing the lyrics had it been a pop song or something
Vivaldi with drums (lol wanted to post this anyway, fits nice to dbol's post) :
Just got this fantastic recording of Vivaldi's Stabat Mater RV 621.
For those, who are not familiar with baroque music: the drums are not in the partiture, they are voluntarily chosen by the performing orchstrea. The "backbone" of baroque music, the genreal bass / basso continuo was normally not specified by the composer, so it's different every time.
Here it is wonderfully surprising and natural and grounded, performed by a polish ensemble.

Oh, and to add that for those who are interested but don't know:
The general bass also can make you think of walking snooping cats probabaly
Pachebel - well known
Buxtehude, Bach went from one end of Germany to the other to meet and learn from him.
One of Bach's early cantatas and one of the longest and best.
Die Choral/Duet "Sei nun wieder zufrieden, meine Seele" is one of the greatest works Bach wrote. It's not yet as detailed as Bach's later works but somehow "simple" for his standards and remind of Buxtehude.
But that fits very well. The first part is dominated by the solists yearning "Sei nun wieder zufrieden, meine Seele" (Be now once more contented, O my spirit) till in the second part the choir takes over, repeats and concludes in the message "Denn der Herr tut dir gut!" (for the Lord serves thee well.).

Schubert in choral
For years, the only version of Gesang der Geister über den Wassern available was that of Wolfgang Sawallisch. Now there are tens of them. Here is a nice one by John Elliott Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir.
And as an extra, a curious mix of the words of Goethe's poem (in German) followed by a song of Canteloube!

anniversary of his death

anniversary of his death
(16 October 1679 – 23 December 1745)
Sonata V in Fa major ZWV 181/5, I Allegro
from his most astounding trio-sonatas ZWV 181
De Profundis in D minor - ZWV 50
a work of the early days of his late mastership.
Still my most beloved piece:
baroque, but already reaching out to the classical age yet to come.
Happy new year, you classic noses.
My fave Strauss waltz (well, one of them...) - Rosen aus dem Süden, streichquintettisized by Schönberg.
Bach for Neujahr/ the New Year
Koopman...
And don't forget: Alles was Hoden hat, lobet den Herrn.

Has been a while since I posted something here and thought
I take the opportunity to wish all a Happy New Year as well :cheers:
Today I wanna share a real candy that I came across some time ago.
In 2014 the world is celebrating the 150th birthday of Richard Strauss,
the composer with all sort of sound colours - love him so much!
Well and here is an arrangement of Karl Böhm, who was a very close friend of the composer.
He did an arrangement of waltzes from the opera "The Knight of the Rose" especially the 3rd Act and conducts it too :heart:
Happy New Year and Happy Birthday Richard Strauss :cheers:
