    NP: Magic Fire-Richard Wagner/Korngold

    This is strictly a collector item piece. There is nothing original, its in mono, the sound and editing are below average but it is Korngold's last work so the collector would want that. But I'd say $25.00 should be pocket change for you.
    listen to more classical music!

    "Lyra" is the song from Golden Compass sung by Kate Bush (?). It is likely to be a hit as it has already been nominated for a Golden Globe. Just not my kind of music.


    I haven't heard it?

    Kate Bush is one of the most inventive and innovative female pop singers of all time.

    I'm a big fan cool

    Tom, Kate also did vocals on Kamen's Brazil score.

    NP: TALK (Yes)

    Trevor Rabin is real creative force behind this 1994 album, so it's kinda film music-related. But I bought it because of the song "Walls" that he co-wrote with one my big heroes, ex-Supertramp lead singer Roger Hodgson.
    I am extremely serious.

    Like I said Tom, I can't comment till I've heard it?

    Is it based on Desplat's score?

    It is a song Timmer written for the exit credits for the film. I would have much rather heard the main theme/secondary themes.

    NP: The Firebird Suite-Stravinsky

    This is part of this huge (22) CD set I got such a good price on. And it is Stravinsky conducting the Columbia Symphony Orchestra from 1960. The Firebird is probably the most accessible piece that Igor wrote. If you want to start with something, this is it.

    NP: The Planets-Holst

    This is a London Phase Four Stereo recording with Herrmann conducting. Its an LP I'm transferring for a friend. I have far better recordings in my collection. A lot more excitement and vibrancy. Herrmann must be tired.

    I haven't heard the Herrmann recording for a very long time Tom, as I remember his Neptune is very good but his Mars is too slow, one of the worst, if not The worst version I've heard?!

    My favourites are Dutoit and Karajan.

    NP: Theme and Variations for Two Pianos and Orchestra from the Go-Between-Legrand

    I really think this was the place to post this even though it came from a movie. It is a concert work that adapted the theme into 10 variations. While my classical friends refer to it as an exercise for an 8 year old piano student I find it most rewarding to listen to.

    Legrand is a superb jazz pianist who is more than capable of complexity.

    It's the wonderful simplicity of the Go-Between that makes it so good, a gorgeous listen that I'd recommend to everyone. cool

    Lower the expectations. 'Lyra' is not a very good song. Particularly coming after such a good score.

    NP: Antar Suite-Rimsky-Korsakov

    This is a historical recording on the old Richmond/London label (#R23203). Sometimes known as his second symphony (incorrectly) it is yet another wonderful tone poem from the master of the orchestra.

    It's the first of a set called 'Three Songs' that Golijov did with Dawn Upshaw. It was released on his album 'Oceana'. The piece starts with Upshaw singing against gentle strings for three minutes, then the pace starts to pick up...

    What I really like about this music is the sound production- quite amazing. My favorite piece is the 15 minutes opus one. Like in the good old days of Yes!

    "Blue in Green" is one of my favorite tracks. The unbeatable combination of Coltrane, Davis, and Evans was really special.

    Probably her best album ever. If you never heard stuff from her, do it, and find out what was missing in your life. biggrin

    Just Played: The Christmas Album - Jimmy Smith

    Jazz virtuoso Jimmy "The Cat" Smith takes his hammond and big band to re-interpret some Christmas goodies (and create some new ones) to great effect. Fantastic Cool Jazz versions with a swing that really rocks the old Christmas tree. Heartily recommended to jazz fans in any season|!

    NP: Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, Op. 64-Tchaikovsky

    This is the symphony with the famous horn solo in the second movement an an andante cantabile. The cantabile came from one of his string quartets and is widely popular in classical music circles.

  28. NP: Within Temptation - The Silent Force

    I like the ballads most, due to the fantastic orchestrations... Pale, Somewhere and The Swan Song are absolutely breathtaking
