Classical music [Youtube Clips]

The whole Brahms symphony-cycle of Bychkov is one of my favourites!

Thanks for sharing this one :heart: :heart:

I tried to find the best I could on youtube and am glad you like it. Yes, it's a beautiful interpretation, I agree.

It's really a challenge sometimes and some piece are still "unpresentable" in my eyes because there are just horrible interpretations on youtube.

At home I have Bernstein/VPO, Gardiner and Norrington (and the marvellous Naxos Piano Version of Matthies/Koehn. ).

I am into a Mozart mood this evening so I decided to post these two little pearls, Die Zauberflöte ouverture and Le nozze di Figaro ouverture, both directed by Riccardo Muti, authoritative as usual.

So difficult to find a decent sound on youtube! ~X(

I have no idea why this strange bald man is constantly talking into the music but the music is nice.

Bach Fanatic

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've been a Bach fanatic since the age of 13. Studied Music at university, specialising in late renaissance/early baroque. Now I'm in the IT business . . . .

One of the BEST moments in Bach is the change to D Major in "Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum" when the trumpets and timpani enter. I LOVE it!!!

Welcome to the forum. I guess you mean the mass in b-minor. Isn't d-major that oversexual obscene scale?

Did you mean to say this?

Guys, I am so delighted to share the following little treasure.

My day started with very fresh and light music and I listened to several pieces of Mozart already.

The following performance of the "Haffner" Symphony took place 2011 in Lucerne
and Claudio Abbado is conducting "his" Lucerne Festival Orchestra.

I think there is not much to say about this beautiful little symphony.
It is just always like a fresh breeze, especially the 2 fast movements
well and the slow movement is just like a bit of relaxation in between.

I just love this piece and in case of Abbado, I wish him a successful tour with the orchestra
as they started to travel around to Vienna and many other beautiful places.

The following piece I want to dedicate especially to bafm

As I know you also really like Ferruccio Furlanetto and I'm sure
you will have a little smile when you listen to him.

He sings the famous "catalogue" aria in one of his most popular roles - Leporello - from "Don Giovanni"
and he does this as usual with so much passion and success.

The music is sparkling like champagne and it is so funny as well, as you will see on stage
and the audience reacts so lovely with their sweet giggles etc.

And James Levine's conduct.........awww

Have all a wonderful Saturday & weekend :heart:



P.S. Furlanetto is really a true Leporello

Another great Bach masterpiece

Bach: Magnificat - Et Misericordia

Abbado

p

I haven't kept track with Abbado for some years. Now he reminds me a bit of Karl Böhm with the "not so many hairs any more". A very nice interpretation and it's interesting how the "historically informed" interpretations inspire the "traditional" orchestras.

The Haffner symphony's first mov always reminds me of a starting Concorde (yes, I'm not 20 any more).

DON'T BLINK (... a little reference to some tv show...)

 

[BigBenni]

I LOVE Karl Böhm :heart: :heart:

I guess he was responsible that I got this huge insight to Mozart because many people think his music sounds so light etc. Well that's very right but it has also a huge deep expression and Böhm brought that to me in an amazing way!

Here is an example and even a magnificent one of Mozart's 1st symphony.

The slow movement here shows already partly the depth and darkness
of Don Giovanni or the slow movement of my beloved piano concerto No. 22



P.S. I guess Böhm was probably more grumpy than Abbado

Thank you very much for this wonderful piece! :heart:

I couldn't agree more, he is a true Leporello, and a true basso, isn't he?

And to return your amazing favour here you have Ferruccio as Filippo II - Elle ne m'aime pas! - Don Carlos.

Last but not least, Herbert Von Karajan's conduct.

Aww thank you so much for this piece :big hug:
It means a lot to me because this was my first ever Verdi DVD in my personal collection
and from this moment on I fell in love with Ferruccio :heart:

You mentioned even the French title for this aria and I even heard Ferruccio with this one. I will try to find it for you

Thank you for making my evening start so well!

Btw, you are so very right, Ferruccio is definitely a true basso and I think he gets even better and better the older he gets.

With affection,
Ben
