adsii1970 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 all I can say is SirriusXM in the car, the "Classic Vinyl" channel, and just the last half of this song as I turned the key in my Santa Fe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sort of astounded that I have liked virtually every classical piece you have posted. Not just , "nice," but I've gone and purchased several right after clicking them in this thread. I tend to have a thing for the baroque, and I love smaller arrangements (though symphonies are also nice). The lute pieces (or classical guitar) are a fave of mine. A cup of coffee (or wine), with that playing, looking out at the mountains, or over the city is about as good as it gets. We actually had a classical guitarist play our wedding (his family makes excellent guitars here in town), out under a tree, with the mountains in the background. Here's an all time favorite piece of mine (certainly not obscure, lol): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've heard Hahn before (I believe I heard the mentioned NPR interview with her at some point), this particular piece was new for me. The only thing I disagree with in her playing is her continuous vibrato, which in this piece was not as evident. That is a long and ongoing debate, the use of vibrato in Baroque music. Likewise the debate of using period vs modern instruments. Otherwise, I think her technical ability is phenomenal and I like that her interpretations are clear and not off in the realm of experimental. Thanks! M'Lady liked it too, I put it on during dinner.

I liked that one I posted that was on youtube (Hahn), but I own Milstein (now digital, but back in the day, vinyl) : A friend's dad (and now brother) was (is) music faculty at UNM. My friend is a cellist (when not being a doc), and he, his brother, and his dad played in another friend's living room one night (with a 4th guy, another doc my wife went to med school with)... his dad even has a strad. Felt pretty old-school to sit in the drawing room with port listening to a quartet. Edited May 4, 2018 by tater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt pretty old-school to sit in the drawing room with port listening to a quartet. I like this by Milstein better than Hahn's. A pair of headphones, listening to the two, will define what I was describing about her use of vibrato. I can relate. My grandfather was a violinist (also an engineer). He used to play at the Newark Symphony Hall back in the late 20's and early 30's. We thought he owned a Stradivarius (ha, they're worth millions), but his violin, now in my cousin's possession, was appraised in NYC and turned out to be a Vuillaume copy... still a nice piece. As a child, studying violin for 3 years, I took my lessons on it. What I remember most of my grandfather with regard to music, was that even after suffering from a serious stroke (late 60's), he could still stand there and play Rimsky Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee for me. So, for grandpa... note the conductor, this guy is a hoot. Moving on... Nothing obscure, quite known, I think I've posted works of his here before (hope I'm not repeating myself). John Dowland... M'Lady loves this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsii1970 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) It has been a classical music day all day... And I know @LordFerret would appreciate what's been played in my playlist every three hours... and I never get tired of it... Second Suite for Military Band Op.28/No.2 1. March 0:00 2. Song Without Words 4:46 3. Song of the Blacksmith 7:14 4. Fantasia on the Dargason 8:31 I know everyone always goes nuts over his The Planets suite, but to me, this is probably one of my favorite Holst pieces. And as a side note, when I played with the USM orchestra in 1988, I played this as the second chair first part French horn player. the 3rd movement was sheer hell. It's written off-beat and the Picardy third at the end... ugh, as a music theory and comp major, it is ingenious but demands resolution at the same time...

Trust me when I tell you, he's so unbelievably overplayed 'down here at the shore'. 6 hours ago, adsii1970 said: -snip- Interesting pick. Every 3 hours?!?!! Careful, I'll be pulling out Wagner... or better yet, the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Holst is ok, and you're right about his The Planets works, popular. To me however, considering all his other works, The Planets are overplayed. Something a little different, Giulio Romolo Caccini. Late Renaissance / early Baroque, 1601.
