Major Isewater Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Jaroussky is the best ever contre tenor. His part would have been sung by a castra when Pergolesi wrote the piece. This is music which is so beautiful it makes me well up each time I hear it. The combination of the voices is sublime and for me is the best recording of this Stabat Mater. Stick with it if you’re not used to baroque music and you will be rewarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Classical music just makes me think of old aftershave adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I do like a bit of Wagner but you have to try and forget the politics and philosophy behind a lot of it which isn`t always easy. I love old church and devotional music too, Gregorian plainsong for instance is beautiful to listen to and so relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 What about classical music "sampled"in pop songs. Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto/ Eric Carmen's All By Myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 There's a whole separate thread to be done about classical music used in adverts. Many people will say they don't know many pieces but will not realise so many are in them. I'm sure there are loads of stuff on the internet that will link up well. As an old duffer I can remember things like British Airways using Delibes' Flower Duet, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker making Fruit and Nut bars more memorable and the odd sight of a well-groomed sheep wandering around a room with Pachelbel’s Canon in D wafting in the audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVi6GgQBkwE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ4Cktg4fFY Personally I do enjoy a bit of classical and I'd put Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor (BWV 565) at the top.

slartibartfast Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Anything by Holst, Ravel, Bizet and Beethoven. I have Classic FM on all the time as background, though some of the presenters do my crust in. When they say things like "I've chosen this for you " etc No you haven't, it's a playlist put together by the producer, don't over egg your part ( as I often shout at them) !

Med/MadHatter Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 This piece is a personal favourite of mine for personal reasons, my mother used to play this on her piano when i was a nipper, unfortunately she ran off with the neighbour before she could teach me how to play! There was also a great movie called Liebestraum, came out in the 80s I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
