What are you listening to?

[hermes2015]

This is how one usually hears it, with cellos and orchestra.

Yes, The Asmo listens to Melanie C. Spice Girls or no, she's good. Come at Him, bro!

[Magdalena]

One for PB.

No, not ABBA, her name is Debbii Dawson.

Natalie Dessay sings the Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 composed by Heitor Villa-Lobos.

my sister in law was a soprano and would sing like this in the car warming up on the way to performances

and vibrate the windows

i love this guy

he's abstract, like mozart, but he's not so  . . . intense, maybe?

mozart always sounds to me like he's chainsmoking while he plays, and this guy is more of a sit-down-and-enjoy-this sound.

maybe not. i feel pretty pretentious trying to categorize this stuff. but i'm rebuilding 50-year-old carburetters today, and vivaldi suits it better than mozart.

[hermes2015]

Vivaldi is excellent music to listen to when one rebuilds carburettors.

[Tom62]

Just bought their greatest hits album and I'm now (trying to) listen to it

[Asmodean]

The Asmo is all electronic-ish this morning, what with them electrons getting ever-more precious.

[hermes2015]

I love watching rehearsals. In this case one of the great pianists, Martha Argerich, with conductor Charles Dutoit, rehearses the Ravel Piano Concerto in G major.

I forgot to mention that Charles is her ex husband.

[hermes2015]

Here she is playing the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 1, again without the aid of a score.
