A fantastic new Tale by Julian Lloyd Webber!!!

[teamsaint]

well this is all going very well !!

Good Afternoon music lovers.

Cellos at dawn. Brilliant.

Er, if I may, the thread was about the new CD "A Tale of Two Cellos"...
Has anybody played it yet??? or extracts?? (see link to Piazzolla in my first post).
The Holst piece is the very first recording by former BBC Young Musician Laura van der Heijden!
Didn't know Saint Saens composed an Ave Maria (makes a good change from the Bach/Gounod, Caccini, Schubert..)
Any Monteverdians here?? Love "Interrotte Speranze"!
For those that took part in the Shostakovich thread the other day (and those that didn't), what do you think of the Prelude to the Gadfly?
For those that have (or will) listen to the CD, which ones are your top 5 tracks??

Mmmm. Haven't got round to that CD yet. In the meantime, for those who don't like Lachenmann, there's this - http://vimeo.com/38649952

The 'whistle' notwithstanding, how very patronising.

Of whom? The quote I replied to was from ferneyhoughgeliebte.

ferneyhoughgeliebte, I apologise if you found that that reply patronised you.

Unfortunately, the heavy 'pumping' during the opening applause leads me to mistrust the higher dynamic levels of that recording. Interesting interaction with the venue's acoustic properties though.

I am afraid it's not my cup of tea...but I respect the fact that some people like it and Lachenmann has gained a reputation (I did my homework and read about him on Wiki!).

Every thread goes off topic! :0 Part of the course! it may meander back or may not! :) Bit like discovering the source of the River Nile! :)

I think the "Patronising" bit is the "" around the word Music

Ha, yes. I will try be patient and await lots of comments about the CD.

I prefer to think of this thread as a stream of consciousness, BBM.

But nice analogy anyway.
