    Why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens?














    All they said was, "BACH, BACH, BACH..."

    Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninov.

    It's an extraordinarily complex piece that moves effortlessly between the mischievous and the mysterious. Previn conducting the London Symphony Orchestra is a particularly fine interpretation.

    You can never bate the original 1975 version.
    Freddie Mercury's lyrics and play with words was simply something to behold.

    I do like that AH has a bit of grá for Rachmaninov. Just goes to show how cultured we are.

    The Bach Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major.

    But it does induce PTSD flashbacks of Josh being shot.

    Cert TBM's inspiration for this thread was a particularly musical fart after going all out on the grapes while visiting the fancy (protestant) neighbours.

    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    He was in love with an Irish woman and he wrote it for her :)

    My Favourite Cornetto is the last one in the freezer..the one that nobody in the family knows was there.The long forgotten Cornetto,thought to have been eaten already ,because it was placed in the wrong drawer!

    Then , the only sound in this life that can add to such an experience is...

    Mozart, Eine Kleine Nacthmusik!

    When ever life gives you one of it's unexpected bonuses, enhance and draw out the experience by listening to this sound.

    Whenever life,converesly, seems to be a bit dull, or leaves you in the ha'penny place, .......well...

    Go listen to that sound !

    Father Ted's shaft scene is but a shadow to the uplifting glory of this sound.

    Unwrap a Cornetto and dive in.


    If you haven't got a Cornetto,

    A ha'penny place will do,

    If you haven't got a ha'penny place,

    God bless you!
