good evening Sunday nighters.
Nostalgia eh?
Mancunian punk rockers understood all about that.
they had Nostalgia for an age yet to come..........
Warning: LOUD:
Interesting idea though............
day off for me tomorrow . Hurrah.
"Manfred" and the Stravinsky Violin Concerto high on my playlist in anticipation of a trip to the RFH on Thursday, hopefully.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.Comment

I'm not usually around for Sunday Night chat but thinking of Sunday nights of my childhood, wasn't there a performance programme that used to be presented Stuart Hughes. I see to remember that the opening theme was Yours Is My Heart Alone (aka. Dans Ist Mein Ganzes Hirst).
It alternated with another sequence of orchestral favourites conducted by Owain Arwell Hughes.
Anyway, they were filled with lots of lush melodies.
Sadly, You just won't find anything like that these days.Comment

Perfect summary, CaliOriginally posted by Caliban View Post[COLOR="#0000FF"]The first 2'30" are mega schmaltzy...
... but then, just after that point, following a little piano cadenza, starts one of THE most addictive minutes of music I know....
Perfect tempo, delectable swing, classy cornet playing.... I find it utterly irresistible.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Ravel probably had a better feel for jazz than Whiteman: listen to the slow "Blues" movement of the violin sonata; it ain't blues, as its composer admitted, but it ain't half got a strong feeling of the blues in it.Originally posted by Caliban View Post
