I could get lost in this piece for hours. I actually did once; I had to do an analysis of it in college. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVoFLM_BDgs

ferroque posted:doing Sibelius 1 in my orchestra next month. anyone know this one? Sebelius is pretty fun in general. I seem to remember enjoying it. It starts off slow and quiet, but it has a grand finnish.

I used to have this album a long time ago but sadly misplaced it. Been trying to find it online for ages but couldn't remember the artist or title. Finally found it, and it's just as good as I remember. Amazing voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xtY6M_umHc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh5ihriAjuU

This is a fun piece. Those sideburns are actually a listed requirement in the score. It's part of the music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VqMyqGNrNw

I feel a pining for some Slavonic Dances. One of the things I love about them is the rhythms are deceptively complex. You think something is just a simple 3/4, but then you look at the score and it's in 3/4 but still a hemiola somehow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z592H6t0q8

I never got to be in the choir, but there were a handful of pieces where the orchestra got to sing along. Lets see, there's Mambo from West Side Story, Ketelby's In a Persian Market, and ..... uh, Carmina Burana if the conductor doesn't notice.

Went to a bang-up performance of Rigoletto this week. Excellent soloists. Unfortunately, some jackass got it into their head that they absolutely had to visually represent the lightning for the storm that happens in Act 3, which isn't even really a plot point. They did this by putting two strobe lights in the front corners of the stage at ground level and pointed directly at front center stage, so the audience was getting the full intensity of the lights right in our eyeballs. This went on for nearly the whole third act. It was so loving distracting. Would it have been so difficult to put the lights above the stage, which is not only where stage lights usually go, but also a better representation of a storm in the sky? Someone please give me a certificate in theatercraft, thanks.

This would have been amazing to experience in person. I love it when a performance gets creative with the performance space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2mxLAG4DSo

Here's a nice Japanese production of Hansel & Gretel. No subtitles, but you know the story. You know it. I'm a bit disappointed there wasn't a guest appearance by Gamera at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O0pwUb9yKw

I heard a great performance of Mahler 5 recently. I enjoy listening to Mahler, but it just goes in one ear and out the other. I can't remember a thing about the piece other than I liked it. I couldn't hum a single melody from it to save my life. I'm not even sure Mahler wrote melodies.

I know there are some differences between the Disney version and the original Russian, but I did not expect to see King Kong in a ballet production of Cinderella. Yes, it moves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6G0WG6YwBo&t=2957s

Mederlock posted:This live rendition of the Schubert String Quintet at the '09 Aldeburgh Festival by the Arcanto Quartet with Marron(2nd Cello) is my favourite performance of the piece, and I think you'd like it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ldtgd . You can't actually buy this recording anywhere so this shouldn't be considered Years ago I read a book called Ensemble that is a bunch of essays about various chamber music works, and one of the chapters was about that Schubert quintet. I was pleased to discover it's still available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Ensemble-Rehearsal-Guide-Thirty-Chamber/dp/0931340454

, so here's a link to it I found online from someone who captured it live off the BBC radio performance when it was aired back in the day

That's a bummer. I enjoyed a lot his non-PDQ stuff too. I used to record episodes of Schickele Mix while it was still on the air. Looks like most of it's on google podcast and podcast addict now.

That reminds me a story I heard about a youth choir that wanted to commission a chorale from Arvo Pärt. They got in touch with him and Mr. Pärt asked how long they need it to be. The director asked what his rates for commissions are and he said £1,000/minute. So the director said, "Great, we'd like a 1-minute chorale."
