What's that piece...?

Need this..

I have just heard it from my friend, its amazing. It is called Yolana/Joana's eye. I have failed to find it on net.. Wondering is that the correct spelling? Sorry not much to go on. If I must I will get a recording..

Thanks

The piece most associated with Raging Bull is the Intermezzo from Cavalaria Rusticana.
Absolutely amazing and moving!!

Does anyone know the name of the piano piece being played at the start of this Christian Bale movie, while he's doing a voiceover introducing himself as he goes through his daily ritual.

It's possible it's from Les Miserables as there is a poster for the play in his bathroom.

Thanks,

Hey can anybody recommend me with a good Japanese classical composer? I'd like to listen to one that uses elements/ instrumentation of traditional japanese music in their pieces. Is Osaka a composer? I could be very wrong indeed though.

What's the music in this ad anyone?

I'm certainly no expert (I wouldn't be posting this if I was ) but it sounds like it's by one of those 19th century French lads, Offenbach, Gounod, Delibes maybe?

If you scroll down a little on your link you will see that the music is by Verdi

About half way through the add for Munich a song by John williams(I think) is played. I bought the soundtrack but its not on it.

very good - I'm sure that info wasn't there last week!

sounded like it was sung in French not Italian but as I said I'm no expert

Just had to find out what that piece was because like the piece used on the Volkswagen Jetta ad (which a bit of searching revealed to be "Songs without Words" (6) Op. 67 No.2 in F minor by Mendelssohn) they stand out like jewels in the sea of dreck which most of the music used in advertising is.

But I find as I enter middle age two things happening*

1) My political opinions move to the right

2) I start listening to more classical music

I wonder is there a link?

Re 1 You have just realised that all political parties are the same,so you might well starting looking after yourself because when you get past middle age, no one will want to know you.
re 2 you have starting listening to clasical music because you can no longer hear or remember those charming lyrics by that talentless young man emmin (or is that M & M):D

Can't argue with that - you've hit the old nail on the head there (twice)

As Armando Iannucci said a few years ago you get to that age where "Smash Hits" (even that's gone now!) looks like it's written in some bizarre foreign language...

Kieran, follwing enquirys to RTE, I have found out the name of the piece you (and me too) are looking for:

The Pilgrims Chorus from Wagner's Opera Tannhouser

The best way of getting this theme is yadda yadda like the way I editted the last one.

Better still, why don't you buy it on CD ! Naxos Classical label has it on their "Best of Opera Vol.1" along with Nessun dorma (the last World Cup's theme?) and a lot of other good familiar songs. It will only cost you about 8 euro and it is legal!:D

Heya!
Did anyone here watch the BBC2 programme "Auchswitz"? It was on during their Holocaust Memorial series. Anyway there was a piece of classical music playing throughout the programme, violin and piano. It was amazingly good, so if anyne knows what it was, it would be VERY helpful if yu let me know!
Thanks!

Um. I know it's a bit late answering this one, but I belive the piece you're looking for was Gorecki's Synphony No.3 (Synphony of Sorrowful Songs). I think they repeated a part of the piece over and over, rather than that being the complete piece. It was very effective though.
