Good grief, this is weird. Former Maynoother here, currently sitting in the cyber cafe on Leinster Street.

ha!

But seriously, come drinking. We're all 22 and 23 [also old for our sins!] and actually have some interest in music. Furthermore, we can help with the old assignments

Shostakovich - Jazz Suite #2.

Always really loved this tune.

Check this very nice Vivaldi concerto:

The soloist is actually dancing. It's so cool.

More Vivaldi: This is a rather nice rendering of Vivaldi's choral masterpiece- Stabat Mater: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np3w-RalzuI

I have been listening to a lot of oboe lately and particularly the performances of Albrecht Mayer. I am impressed.
Check these performances out, I absolutely love the first one:

For those who can speak German (or not), this is a good documentary on Mayer and the Oboe:

I enjoyed it. I hope the rest of ye will.

One of my favourites at the moment.

Islamey: An Oriental Fantasy by Mily Balakirev, played here by the always wonderful Boris Berezovsky.

For me there can be a danger with super-technical pieces of music that the music gets lost, but this version is truly beautiful.:)

Forgive my editing please, but I was just fixing the youtube link. You only have to put in the bit after v=.

eg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vytosDX9dVM The bolded bit goes between the tags {youtube} {/youtube} (But with [ rather than {)

Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2

Such a beautiful piece it brings a tear to my eye each time I listen to it

Talliesin · 16-05-2008 08:48PM

John Cage's 4′33″. The three-movement composition from 1952 that decades later he still said he considers the most important of his own work.

Possibly the greatest performance of Mozart's Requiem:

You might be interested to know that the wonderful Turkish pianist Idil Biret has a full recording of that on her website, along with the rest of the concert from 21st October 1993, and various other albums. www.idilbiret.org and http://www.idilbiret.net/Archive/musicarchive01.htm

Anyways, another underestimated pianist: here's a video only of Tatyana Nikolayeva playing the allemande from Bach's French Suite No. 4. And, as a bonus, you get a comparison of Gould playing it as well. (In about a quarter of the time, mind.)

Rubinstein playing De Falla's Ritual Fire Dance. Amazing. Watch his hands at 47" and (especially) 2;26.

just wasted my day on this thread.

damn you all!
