Hurrah. I prefer the Bonzos though.

I adore Mahler though His music could never depress me!

A string quartet composed by one of my professors. I was curious and got the CD out of the music department's library and I am in LOVE with it It's very intense. I like.

You Belong to Me - Carla Bruni

Movement 2 of Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor

Trying to listen to the radio, but it's all crackly

Shostakovich's Symphony no. 10, second movement

Dmitri's getting a bit of hammer then eh?

Have a go at the viola sonata (you'll recognise some themes) and the "Two Pieces for String Octet".

Just a little bit, haha I was actually listening to the viola sonata while I was getting ready for my lecture this morning, but I don't think I've heard the "Two Pieces for String Octet"! I'm listening to it now

Handel Lascia ch'io pianga

The full version of 'Asteroid', by Pete Moore.

Medal to the person who can work out where this music is usually used

I Googled it

I'm listening to What Can You Tell Me by Anthony Head. I LOVE that man.

That's cheating

Ah, but I'm the only one who bothered - surely I deserve a medal solely for that reason?

OK then...

Hooray!

No you're not

Did you Google it too?

I bet pushpull knew without Googling

Oh shush, I'm just not as... knowledgeable as you both

I know what you really mean instead of knowledgeable, Stephie

You know I'm only joking

pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa

Er, no. I cheated too.

*high five*

Barry, I think pushpull deserves a medal for cheating too.

yep!

pushpull....awwwww, I'm disappointed





There you go

Wow. I have got an award this year after all. For cheating.

Now what should I take away from this?

Anything that isn't nailed down?


(just kidding.....)

Oh, and back on topic, Maria Callas singing "Tu che la vanita" from "Don Carlo"

That cheats get a slightly odd looking Mr. Happy medal?

Back on topic : I'm in an 80s mood - listening to Nik Kershaw at the moment. Very 80s haircut...

I'm listening to Charles Lloyd Quartet "Mirror", most specifically the track "The Water is Wide". I've got a minor obsession over this at the moment. I was listening to some piano trio stuff earlier (Phronesis, and Kit Downes) much as I enjoyed them I couldn't help missing a horn player.

At the weekend I was listening to Michelle Shocked "Deep Natural", even though my musical taste has moved quite a lot since I bought that CD, I really enjoyed it.

End Game by Anthony Head. Yes, Tony again

Steve Reich's Eight Lines.

We Can Work It Out, by - you guessed it - Anthony Head.

Sparky's Magic Piano

Belouis Some, Imagination

The radio : that's currently informing me that my train service is up the creek

Another one of my prof's string quartet works - I love it!

The beautiful silence that comes from being At Home Alone..



(Actually, it's not quite silence as the clock is ticking, the dishwasher quietly whirring and a distant plane has just gone over ).

Stanford in G, as I'm bass soloing it in a few hours.

Oh good luck! I performed that a few years ago and my friend was doing the bass solo. Such a beautiful piece!

Mahler's Seventh Symphony, courtesy of my all-time favourite conductor, Simon Rattle. The timpani part at the start of the last movement gets me every time!

Darth Vader's Theme from Star Wars played in the style of Beethoven.

Sheer genius

That's brilliant! Looking through that man's other stuff, a lot of his pieces are genius!

I love it! It's actually really nice And since I'm listening to that right now, that's my answer to the thread

Me too! Thanks for showing that katyjay!
