This has be in my head a lot lately due to hearing it in a TV show/movie. Can't remember what it was though.

Stumbled across NYOGB's official channel and some other videos with their work a while back. :cool: Must be great to be involved in something like this.

To come back to the OP, has Yo Yo Ma ever played Ireland? I've searched the odd time, but never found anything, or perhaps just missed it.

I went to see John O' Connor in the NCH last year and he was great.

Recent purchase: some Alison Balsom tunes.

Yeah Yo Yo Ma has been in the NCH several times. Never caught him there myself but he does come round alright.

The Black Oil · 20-02-2016 1:10pm

Listening to anything yourself?

Gheadphone · 11-03-2016 1:28pm

Bartok, Shostakovich and Mahler at the moment, particularly Bartoks Concerto for orchestra and Mahlers 5th and 9th.

I always find time for some Beethoven and Schubert among everything else i have on rotation.

Anybody up for a listening party were we could meet up and share some music somewhere?

One of my favourites

Sibelius - Etude in A Minor

Cesar Franck's choral music is incredible!

Sheet music on a tablet, first time seeing that.

This version of Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto for Lute and 2 Violins in D Major RV93 - Largo:

I first heard it in my early teens as part of the soundtrack to 'A little romance' and I've loved it ever since.

Earlier on I was listening to some of the Twelve Concerti Grossi Op. VI by Arcangelo Corelli. Wow.

YattaYenta · 17-04-2017 5:19pm

it's on the modern classical side of things but strumming music by charlemagne palestine is absolutely stunning. probably the most emotive work of minimalism you'll find anywhere

Harry Angstrom · 29-05-2017 1:20am

Not necessarily Classical but the Jazz section isn't hugely popular, and Brubeck has always struck me as a classical musician trapped in the body of a jazzman.

Heard good things about a podcast called Classical Classroom. Will check it out when I get a chance.

The Black Oil · 15-06-2017 8:22am

Thought Classical Classroom was very good, would recommend. Felt like an open conversation, not technical or stuffy.

Sephiroth_dude · 03-08-2017 4:17pm

I quite like these two pieces

Just finished viewing the film, The Death of Stalin, and whatever else you can say about him he had good musical taste as Mozart's Concerto No. 23 seemed to has been his favourite.

There was an iTunes album sale and picked up "Pure Maria Callas". This will be my track on the commute.

The Black Oil · 13-01-2019 4:34pm

Anyone else watch Brendan Kavanagh on Youtube?

The Black Oil · 27-01-2019 7:55pm

Well, of course Einaudi was in the Arctic.

Apple could do better with classical, it seems. https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/15/classical-music-apple-music/

Alexis Ffrench. I’m not sure if this really fits under classical but I absolutely adore this guy. His music is beautiful.

If I ever get married, I want to walk down the aisle/have the first dance to this song, I just think it’s a stunning piece of music.
