CCS - Whole Lotta Love

Extra marks for knowing which programme this music was used on!

Yep... The Victory for The Comic Muse album is a good one

Ginette Neveu playing 'Melodie' from Orpheus and Eurydice by Gluck/ arr.Sgambati. Beautiful, mesmerising playing....

There's nothing in the woodshed.......except maybe some wood...

Seth Lakeman

I'm really happy, I've found in him a common interest with a friend I thought I had nothing in common with and we're hopefully going to a gig together in a couple of months

Well, i'm watching Shine, but i guess that involves listening (rachmaninov's 3rd piano concerto at the moment)

Just been listening to new purchase - William Alwyn chamber music. Interesting...

Some 'on-hold' music for a US teleconference where the leader hasn't dialed in yet.
For the UK ones the on-hold music is something classical, but for the US ones it's a sort of guitar, piano thing that to me sounds like they couldn't quite afford to get Bruce Hornsby...

Stanford - Songs of the Fleet

WOW!! What a combination

Sting and Jools Holland - Seventh Son

The school band practising for Music For Youth... I'm not allowed to play with them, being a teacher, so I'm... catching up on some work... or looking at the AB forums... I forget which!

I've just listed to Elly Amerling sing Der Hirt Auf Der Felsen.

On the headphones: Mitsuko Uchida playing Mozart K330 - while trawling Viva Piano looking for people to disagree with.

<--- For once not playing the piano

Good choice Tom that's a beautiful sonata.

Cancer - My Chemical Romance

She Just Wants to Be- R.E.M.

I'm listening to Weber's Clarinet Concerto Number 2 - It's been ages since I heard that!

James Bond - Scouting For Girls xxx

Beethovens' Piano Cocerto No 3 in C minor. Probably my favourite after the Emperor.

That is one of my set works in music

I'm listening to my cat snoring

I hope you're enjoying it Soph!

Simon and Garfunkel 'Homeward Bound', though sadly not for much longer - I have to go to work

Bb Clarinet - that piece is great!!

Morning Passages - The Hours - Philip Glass



Woohoo!!!!

Defying Gravity - ACOUSTICC (AMAZING ) By Idina Menzell
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The sound of my grandmother's tv downstairs.

...

Some stuff from Sweeney Todd

'...(magical?) elixir - that'll do the trick, Sir!'

'True, sir, true.' Well that and 'A Little Priest'.

ooh! haven't watched sweeny todd. i'm a Johnney Depp fan (who isn't?) but im a bit scared, to be honest. i don't like gory stuff! i couldn't even sit through Final Destination!

Mozart piano sonatas.

Wow, they are so good.

If all he had ever written was one of these he'd be thought a genius and his name would still be remembered for it.

Can anyone imagine what Mozart would have achieved if he had lived longer? He not yet 35 when he died. With a full lifespan he could have been composing for another 30 or 40 or even 50 years.

Then there would have been no doubt who was the "greatest" composer of all time.

'The Fruity Flute' by Reg Wale.

Probably better known as the theme tune to 70s/80s cookery programme 'Farmhouse Kitchen'. It's a very good jazzy little flute piece!

Ruarri Joseph

I do like myspace for being able to listen to new music without having to buy it or whatever

Angela Hewitt (piano Goddess) playing Chabrier (musical God)

Mozarts 17th piano concerto, 3rd movement!

I agree with Mad Tom, the mozart piano sonatas are fantastic! (but some of them are annoyingly hard to play!)

Jacob.

Despite myself, 'In Paradisum' by Karl Jenkins:

http://video.aol.com/video-detail/in-parad...kins/1568426027

Trite moments there may be but some of it is sublime - listen to the flute solo! In small doses though - I imagine too much Karl Jenkins would give you nausea in the end - like the chocolate truffle I just ate - one is quite enough!

6 different versions of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata by six very famous pianists and they all have weird ideas somewhere along the way and do not play what Beethoven very clearly asked for in the score.

Are Daniel Barenboim and I the only people on the planet that know the difference between a turn and a triplet, and how it affects the accentuation?

... and why do people that think p means ff , and that it is OK to pedal through staccato have international careers while I play what Beethoven actually wrote ... in libraries at lunchtime concerts and old folks homes at weekends?

Come on Deutsche Gramophone, Hyperion, Naxos - I'll do you the definitive version.

Jeff Healey's 'See the light.' Jeff was an excellent rock guitarist and singer who has just recently passed away after suffering some form of cancer since he was one - he was blind from that age and used to play his guitar on his lap. He will be sadly missed.

Classic FM
An excerpt from 'Turandot' and I think it's the incomparable Callas....

Dance stuff

Basshunter - Now you're gone

Chopin's Military Polonaise on Youtube

Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre

I'm listening to Gershwin's Concerto for Piano. Just lovely!

Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no. 4, again. And again, and again, and again. Three different versions, two from CDs, including Trevor Pinnock's new recording, one YouTube (Freiburg Baroque, not Michala Petri ).
Argh.
I'm never going to be able to play it that neatly.

Alexander Gavrylyuk

Is he the best pianist ever? I've never heard anyone else that comes close - either live or on record - and I've listeded to every great pianist you can think of.

2nd movement of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto on Youtube.

I want to buy a recording but iTunes has loads...Hilary Hahn, Itzhak Perlman, Nicola Benedetti, Heifetz, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Akiko Suwanai....does anyone have an opinion on which are good?

Peter Gabriel - 'Big Time'

John Cage's 4'33''



I'll grab my coat...(after putting on Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite)

Birdsong outside my open window!
