Always worth watching this.

And here's the tune.

There are a bunch of gifted people in my family, but this girl may be even more talented than me.

Does a Klein (with a K) count among your brilliant clan?

The only time I've been to a proper, grown-up classical concert (indoors, no fireworks or lasers) was at the Liverpool Phil. It was Shostakovich 4th Symphony. I was literally on the edge of my seat with some of the most exciting, unpredictable, captivating music I've ever heard.

 

The bloke next to me fell asleep.

 

Each to their own, I suppose.

Probably not. That's the much more common spelling *sniffs the air haughtily*.

Let's just assume that the BBC have mis-spelled her name, because she is wonderful.

I loved this from childhood and in all honesty it's still the greatest piece of music, in any form, ever written

I've been to one of his concerts mate a couple of years ago. It was brilliant and the 3 hours flew by. Didn't want it to end. He's one seriously charismatic dude as well.

Sibelius was dark. The start of this scared the shit out of me when I heard it first as a kid. 

[Total Longo]

In terms of "modern" classics, this is absolutely beautiful.

Celebration of John Williams on BBC4 at the moment. The man is a genius.

To console myself for losing out on a 1967 dior suit off ebay I am hunting for choons and came across the classic section on play.

 

Ive listened to radio 3 and classic fm a teeny bit. Some of it is boss, but there is lots that is dull and boring and crap.

 

Anyone got any hints on stuff I should try out? I like violins and pianos and big bass drums!

 

There are so many CDs that exisit in the bargain bins at Home Bargains that I feel I am missing out. I trust you lot more than Id trust some cravat wearing posho.

 

Much love and high fives

Stu.
