Sublime music Nick. :y
I wish I had taken more of an interest and learned more about classical music when I was younger. ;)

Ah, yes! :y :y
Who could fail to like, especially the familiar theme which kicks in around three and half minutes in?
-
I have to post this one too.
My Mum plays the piano and so as a kid I listened to her playing various pieces of music. She loves Rachmaninoff which I suppose rubbed of on me.

Good stuff, Darth. :y
If your mum likes the piano, I highly recommend Simon Trpceski and his rendition of Debussy's Arabesque. So good, I bought it on iTunes! :y

My Mum's cousin is a Music Master and plays the Organ at St. Pauls. He came up from Poole in Dorset a few weeks back for my Nanna's 90th Birthday. Anyway My Mum and he were on the piano making it talk, we all sat there in awe of them both.
A few of what they played..
I can play part of this myself but can't read music so forget :'(

You can't beat the Moonlight Sonata. And, don't tell the others, I do like the organ - the king of which is this:

I have just had a quick look on you tube for my Mum's first exam piece. How she plays it fills you up as it feels emotional if that makes sense. This guy starts off playing it how my mum does, but for me then goes off to fast by far... Need to record my Mum and then post it up to see what you think.

Wish I could find a better quality sounding recording of this tune :'(
Love it though all the same.

Cheers NIck. :-*
Say what you like about the Europeans - and I do from time to time - but there's an openness of culture there which puts much of this country to shame. That location in Holland has been the venue for many such gatherings in celebration of such great music.
I'm quite fond of Handel and that piece, composed around 1710, is typical is the richness of early 18th Century opera. Needless to say, I enjoyed that immensely -especially with Ms De Niese (Christie) singing; it was, to my mind, a consummate piece of musical prowess so typical of that great composer.
The divine Cecilia Bartoli gives this same piece additional gravitas by delivering much more measure - it's also an interesting comparison of not only the difference in musical style of each artist but also between the differing register of each voice, Soprano -v- Mezzo Soprano.

Thanks, Den. I like both ladies' renditions. There is certainly a marked difference between a soprano and a mezzo soprano. All down to personal taste, really. Like comparing vintage champagnes. ;)

Thinking as I do (from time to time) of how this once great country occupied a well deserved place in the world ranking of nations that displayed substance and merit, qualities evident as a result of their heritage and the endeavours of their peoples - and contrasting those thoughts with the sad realisation that we now have fallen to a point of near insignificance, I often take solace in listening to our great composers who, through their music allows the spirit to be consoled.
This reminds me that while we were indeed one such nation of merit – no longer, sadly - we have every opportunity to be so once more – we only have to remind ourselves of who we really are.
Gerald Finzi affords us the means to rekindle the esteem and regard we should all have for this nation and, in the following piece, lays bare the stout framework of just exactly what we do have within this country and why we must fight to preserve it.
The beautiful photography coupled with the piece displays parts of Derbyshire’s Peak District to their finest.
