Favourite CLASSICAL MUSIC Thread

3 clues fer ya:

#1 - Directed by an American expatriate (like Yours Truly) who was JUST RECENTLY MENTIONED in another one of my RECENT posts..

#2 - It was (IMHO) an idealistic look at what the FIRST OFFICIAL YEAR of the 21st Century -- and all its technological & astrological achievements therein -- were envisioned to be like..

#3 - The special effects were WAY ahead of their time. Preceding the works of George Lucas by about....9 years or so..





TOO easy, m8's.....

Chopin, definitely. My favorite. Though I enjoy pretty much anything mellow involving piano, violin, or cello. I likes strings.

When it's time for something epic I quite enjoy Nobuo Uematsu's music, though that would be considered a bit nerdy I suppose since he's most famous for his work with the Final Fantasy game series. Absolutely amazing composer, though, regardless of where his music is showcased.

Both rather superb tunes, I must say...


An interesting anecdote, now, about Conductor DANIEL BARENBOIM

Brilliant conductor...equally brill pianist..

Though his social mores have much to be desired, IMO..



Some Time Back, he & his orchestral entourage made a Concert Tour of Israel.



Unfortunately, he took it upon himself....with no malice aforethought, I am sure....just unwittingly did what he did....to present to the audience performances of compositions by RICHARD WAGNER...An AVOWED ANTI-SEMITE!



One word & one word only on that, m8's:


OUCH!:smt018
