Classical Music, post it up


I dont think you'll hear a better vocal rendition of Samuel Barker's Angus Die. Considered by many to be the saddest composition ever. It was featured in the movie Platoon.
 
wow, how cool is it that your father played that part on his clarinet? :thumbup

"George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue features a famous opening with a virtuosic clarinet glissando (slide)."​

when I think of the clarinet, Rhapsody in Blue is what I think of. :laughing
 

This is Renaissance music, composed by Gregorio Allegri specifically to be performed in the Sistine Chapel. There is a famous recording of this piece that was recorded in the Sistine Chapel, but personally I find this recording much better.
 

Modern Chamber music from Cuba. This is Camerata Romeu. A well known all female chamber group led by Zenaida Romeu. They travel the world and have won Grammy's. The Conservatory of music in Havana pumps out amazing musicians. This piece is based on the Cuban Folkloric music called Guaguanco, which is traditionally played with drums, percussion and vocals only. It has a specific dance that accompanies it.
 

This is actually a pop song written by an Italian rock musician. Cant remember his name. It's a tribute to the great Italian tenor Enrico Caruso. I think Andrea Bocelli and this arrangement of the tune for orchestra is amazing though. Bocelli recorded this tune on his famous album Romanza, but this version is so much better.

"The song "Caruso," a tribute to legendary tenor Enrico Caruso, was written by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla in 1986, and later famously covered by artists like Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti, and Josh Groban. Dalla was inspired by the beauty and passion of Caruso's voice, composing the song to reflect themes of love, longing, and the pain of mortality."​

Mr Dalla was also a clarinet player. :rose :angel

Lucio Dalla.. That's right. No idea he played clarinet. He's known as a keyboard player and singer if I remember correctly. Caruso's life was a bit tragic, the song reflects that brilliantly.
 
Could anyone recommend someone in the Bay Area to evaluate and appraise a violin? I have written before about our violin, made by James Reynold Carlisle in 1930, number 446 that I had repaired locally a few years ago. I have an idea that this may have belonged to Peter Wilhousky, although I have not yet been able to substantiate this.

Sorry to invade. What about a guitar shop? I have a '74 Stratocaster that was lightly driven.
tzrider pointed me to a website that help define its status and the status is solid, but I don't have an amp to even see how it drives.
