The Classical Music Corner
I've spent a long time trying to suppress my classical urges on here but... well, it's difficult to be who you are not, and who I am is a classical music person.
I dedicate this first post to PR, whose recent submission to Party Time was sweeter than white chocolate, and who, as I recall, loves the second movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. It's actually been a particular favourite with me for many years, ever since I played Beethoven #7 on a European tour with orchestra in 2009. To me this movement is divine ecstasy. Of all the composers I love, Beethoven has always been one of the giants of my heart and has helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life.

An old tradition of mine was to watch the final fight and explosion in V For Vendetta every Friday evening just to celebrate my temporary freedom from a week of school.

Re: The Classical Music Corner
Thank you Nighty for your lovely additions. Celtic Woman isn't strictly speaking classical music, but definitely less "poppy" than most. And don't ask if things are okay to post, this is everyone's thread....
Actually I've been meaning to say (just as I've been meaning to do and write a trillion other things on here...), I haven't seen V for Vendetta, PR, but it has special memories of a special person and... the music in that scene...
It's Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, which I love (Tchaikovsky was my favourite composer when I was three ). Real cannon fire! Not often you get cannons in the instrumentation of classical music. Or any music I suppose.
Thanks for posting more classical music in the movies (and video games) for us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like Nighty, I have something for Lotus :
*
By Scriabin, a Russian composer who was also a theosophist; his mystical visions profoundly influenced his music.
(He was also very interested in Nietzsche, but I guess I won't mention that. )
He wrote some extremely esoteric music, he even colour-coded his circle of fifths (he had synesthesia), and sought to create mystical experiences in his listeners.
*I've actually never been incredibly keen on Scriabin, but he is definitely fascinating... and one of many composers who worked with esoteric themes

I have played this at many many weddings and unlike my friends (most classical musicians can't stand "Pacca's" )...I never ever tire of it
Thank you dear lovely Lunar.

Re: The Classical Music Corner
Aww I love this Gustavo Montesano version, I think I played his cd so much it had holes in it lol.
But oh-oh Selina, remember that Classical Spectacular event I told you about- they always finish with Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture and yes they use REAL cannons and REAL fireworks INDOORS in Royal Albert Hall! It's so loud, so colorful, the lights, the surroundings, the people- it truly is an experience of a life time. You should definitely get on one next time. I believe they only do it twice a year- March and November.

Re: The Classical Music Corner
I went to an outdoors fireworks (and of course, cannons - wouldn't be a real performance without ) performance of 1812 in Sydney once... it was a while back... it was lots of fun, it was Classical in the Domain and of course I had friends in the orchestra...
...but in Royal Albert Hall?! Oh my goodness that must have been an experience... I went to a Prom at RAH once and absolutely loved it (Pinchas Zukerman conducting Beethoven... Symphony No 4? I think?)...but haven't been since. Will definitely go to see an RAH 1812 someday on your recommendation.
Actually it's really funny that you posted Pachelbel's, it fits in with 1812/V for Vendetta for me...

Re: The Classical Music Corner
Awww that was a sweet story Selina, but I must've missed something- do you play a musical instrument??
My mom put me in one of the best High schools in country and she had to choose to either stick me to Maths and Science inclined class or Art, literature and music inclined. She chose the latter because I loved sketching and painting and was a real bookworm, but I got kicked out of there to the Science one after a year cause I couldn't sing or play an instrument if I wanted to. I have no musical ear whatsoever.
I have to confess that even though it's not classical, I love Kenny G lol. Everyone laughs at me and calls it elevator music, but I find it so relaxing and it brings back many good memories.

Re: The Classical Music Corner
I'm a violinist.
And I have nothing against elevator music. In fact I tend to enjoy it.

Re: The Classical Music Corner
Ohhhh violin, you have so many talents! I wish I could play.... anything really... my husband has a guitar, but I can't strike one chord without bending my fingers backwards
and that music is beautiful, even though I don't particularly care for Coldplay.
Uh, where are you now then? I thought you were IN Sydney?

Re: The Classical Music Corner
You can still learn, Lunar! Of course adult learners make things difficult for themselves, even more difficult than it needs to be (obviously it's always easier to learn things as a kid), but there are violinists in the world who only started learning at 18 for example and still managed to eventually end up playing things like the Bruch Violin Concerto, which is not exactly a piece of cake technically. (I say that because I know of a case like that, he wasn't a performer but went on to become one of the greatest violin teachers ever... Shinichi Suzuki, who founded a whole philosophy of teaching music, basically a spiritual philosophy of teaching people to lead better lives through music...)
“Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.”
― Shinichi Suzuki
“Beautiful tone, beautiful heart.”

Re: The Classical Music Corner
Oh I love the Moonlight Sonata so much!
I love the Pathetique almost as much...but there's nothing quite like the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata in all creation.
A little unrelated to Beethoven, but equally divine: Cesar Franck's Panis Angelicus
