Xann Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 That's on Deja Vu, a rather lacklustre (shite) label. The next step up are the albums on Capitol and BMG. If you really love them there's the GDM reissues. Expensive, but the best reproductions available. They're usually listed under the films' Italian titles. I was going to link the cheapest GDM I'd ever seen, but I bought it instead, sorry. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The second piece is Waltz II from the Shostakovich Jazz Suite. A FANTASTIC piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Since we seem to have lots of Shostakovich fans. Yevgeny Mravinsky did many of the benchmark Russki recordings for the state label, Melodiya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just love the theme music to the film "Dances with Wolves" - so haunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Rossini - LLate, but the whole of that piece is brilliant. Though everyone will of course recognise the famous couple of minutes of it.... and imagine riding a horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though everyone will of course recognise the famous couple of minutes of it.... and imagine riding a horse. I'd have thought that that famous truism ("An intellectual is someone who can hear 'The William Tell Overture' without thinking of 'The Lone Ranger') no longer applies to most people. The Lone Ranger TV series stopped being shown when even I was a small boy. Who has seen it these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I haven't seen it. But the music is the closest imitation a horse galloping has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Something from the under appreciated Johann Nepomuk Hummel. The pianist is Stephen Hough, one of our best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Maybe it's a sign that you're truly turning into a boring old fart.... or it might be the fact that the mere mention of the word football regurgitates unhappy recollections of this season's never ending collapses.........but I find myself tuning more and more to Classic FM in the car these days. I've also discovered that classical music instantly shuts up a certain 9mnth old in the back of the vehicle as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Danke schon M. Mooney, I shall check it out when next on my laptop. I've just started having a gander at Grade 6 pieces to attempt to rachet up my musical skill another level. There is a piece for lute (adapted for guitar) by none other than Johann Sebastian Bach. He really does not make allowances for different instruments, as soon as I heard a recording played you could tell it was the father. I'll see if I can find a clip for on here.

Xann Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Another under appreciated composer The string chops at 0.57 could almost be from a 20th century piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
