YouTube: the thread for interesting video links

Well, there's this. It's perhaps not very pleasant to watch. But if, like me, you've had property vandalised, and found our august police worse than useless, it may strike a chord.

And there is more than a touch of Beefie's comment above.

It was all going so well

Go on punk, make my day

Awesome, how do we get the whole 24 hour thing?

Has the whole thing been done on a 24 hour sound installation?

I want more - and who's done a bit of Bruckner?

Many thanks

Listening as I type. Good job this stuff wasn't about in the 70s - don't think I'd have found the time to go to school!

Phoned the guy about the other movements of the stretched Bruckner - went to voicemail, but I couldn't make sense of it. Something about being too busy making Xmas penis-puddings to take calls. That can't be right!? Do let me know if you hear anything.

Feast your ears on this

Not sure if this is a youtube "gem", but I was interested to see this very young conductor, Edward Yudenich, conducting a fairly ambitious work, Liszt's symphonic poem Les Preludes. I have no idea about the quality of the performance, since I am not that keen on Liszt's music and don't know this work at all, but it seemed to me that Yudenich, conducting from memory, had an overall grasp of the work and the orchestral detail. Childhood prodigies on violin and keyboard are not that unusual these days, but it's quite rare to see a conductor at such a young age (8):

The orchestra is not the greatest (the National SO of Uzbekistan), having suffered from the country's drain of musical talent due to severe funding cuts, but Yudenich comes from a family of highly accomplished musicians. I think he could well have a future as a conductor - he is currently pursuing his studies in America.

Perhaps resident forum Lisztophile Jonathan could comment on the performance....

I know it's an old chestnut, but I have to play this:

not exactly a "gem" but I've just stumbled upon a Gerontius from 1968

not exactly a "gem" but I've just stumbled upon a Gerontius from 1968 - Canterbury Cathedral - Boult/Pears/Baker/Shirley-Quirk/LPO - ropey video quality especially at the beginning, sound not too bad, the camera spends most of the time looking at the building. Grindingly slow speeds, probably because of the acoustic. Historical interest.

Fantastic! Thanks mercia! I think it is a 'gem'...

[Radio64]

I presume this thread is (classical) music related, innit...?

Here's a seasonal offering from one of the greats of the 20th Century, Mel Blanc - he's doing the song - L. Rapchak's trying to keep up - I think it's wonderful.
