Classical Music Association Thread

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Gounod - Funeral March of a Marionette

bbm - Any chance of editing the typo in the thread title?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Delibes - Coppelia

[Flosshilde]

Tchaikovsky - Nutcracker

[Mahlerei]

Adam - La Poupée de Nuremberg

[Flosshilde]

Wagner - Meistersinger von Nurnberg

which is just too easy - so I'll leave it open for someone else to come up with a cleverer response to Mahlerei's suggestion.

[Mahlerei]

Okay. Is this too tangential?

Spontini - Olympia

[Flosshilde]

Is that the same Olympia as in The Tales of Hoffmann? - ie a mechanical doll.

Let's see - something that's connected but moves us on from puppets;

Orpheus in the Underworld - offenbach

[MrGongGong]

Tangental ?
how about
Kunst Der Fuge : Laibach version (its not often that Bach .....blah blah sorry !)

[Norfolk Born]

Leonard Bernstein - Preludes Fugues and Riffs

[Mahlerei]

Floss

No, I was thinking of Nuremberg. Leni Riefenstahl filmed Hitler's rallies there; she also glorified the Aryan form in Olympia.

Back to the game:

Bernstein - Prelude, Fugue and Riffs

[Roehre]

Toch: Geographische Fuge (recently on TtN)

[Flosshilde]

Bernstein - Prelude, Fugue and Riffs

Goodness, far too clever for me, Mahlerei :)

Perhaps it would be useful & add to the entertainment if we explained our choices? Rather like listening to the teams on 'Round Britain Quiz' arrive at their answers. The connection I made between Henry V & Gotterdammerung was horses (perhaps that was less subtle than I thought & everyone realised that)

I shall retire (temporarily) & return tomorow, hopefully refreshed.

Prelude a l'apres-midi d'une faune - Debussy - or is "faune" masculine?

[Mahlerei]

Suppé - Morgen, Mittag, und Abend in Wien

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

J. Strauss II - Morgenblatter
