219.0. "Any Classical Music Buffs Out There?" by CHEFS::MICOTTIN () Wed Sep 28 1988 20:57

    Can I add a classical music topic in here?
    Are there any bits of classical music that send shivers down your
    spine? You know the stuff- the tunes  that make you `Proud to be
     British', or just plain sentimental! 
    
    My votes are for:  
       
                      Dvorak- parts of the` New World Symphony'
                      (incidentally-I *don't like the`Hovis' bit!)
                      
                      Bach- Partita No. 1 First Mvt.
                                                                  
                      `'-   Jesu Joy
    
                      Pachelbel-Canon in D
    
                      Bach- Tocatta And Fugue in D (?)
    
                      Stravinsky- Firebird Suite
    
    
    I could go on, but it's your throw!

    Oh, and Mahler 1 or 2, by almost anybody.
    
    Makes Iron Maiden sound like The Beverley Sisters.

    re .11
    
    Never listened to Mahler. I prefer anything J.S. Bach, I like most
    of Beethoven's stuff, and especially Paginini (sp?).

    and I *love* Iron Maiden!

    Film soundtracks are a good way for being introduced to classical
    take "Diva" as one perfect example .Awesome !

    YES!...I agree totally, the 'Promenade Sentimentale' solo piano
    was great!, I've been looking to buy that particular toon, but can't
    find it anywhere..(not the soundtrack, that is).

219.18Kubrick likes the classics.CRUSHA::BELLThere must be some kinda way outa here!Wed Oct 05 1988 18:026
    Yes of course Kubrick started it with 2001. Didn't he ?
    
    I will stand correction on that.

    re .18...
    "Yes of course Kubrick started it with 2001. Didn't he ?"
    
    Naaah. Brief Encounter(Rachmaninov?) and Death In Venice(Mahler's
    6th.) predate 2001 by more years I care to admit to. And there's probably
    zillions from before that.

    Dave (41 going on 22)
219.20I did say I would stand corrected.CRUSHA::BELLThere must be some kinda way outa here!Thu Oct 06 1988 15:359
    Of course classical music was used in films before 2001. What I
    meant was the use of the music as such an integral part of the film,
    like who can hear 'Also Sprack Zarathustra' now without thinking
    of the opening sequence or 'The Blue Danube' without images of
    cartwheeling space stations. (Anyone over 30 anyway.)

219.22Anyone help?REPAIR::EDWARDSMandatory SuicideFri Oct 07 1988 15:568
    
    
    	I listen to the odd piece of classical music now and again
    Holst, Beethoven, a little Handl.  But the one piece I'd really
    like is The Mighty Empress (the old spice tune), only problem is
    I don't know who compossed it!!
    
    Darron.  Another HM fan.
219.23ROSBIF::PHILIPPAThe Knights that say .... Neee!Fri Oct 07 1988 18:3210
    I'm not too sure who composed the 'Old Spice' theme but you can
    find it on an album called Carmina Bruana - the whole thing is similar
    to that tune.
    
    Other faves:  Motzart, Bach, Tchaikovsky(sp?) and all the Strauss
    waltzs.

219.25Looking for Powerful Classical CD'sEUCLID::OWENHltr Skltr...we're stealin' it back!Fri Oct 07 1988 18:477
    On a classical note, 8^) I am looking for some CD's to "Test Out"
    my stereo equipment.  I want something VERY powerful sounding.
    Less flutes and violas, more percussion, bass, and brass.
    
    Can anyone make a few suggestions on which ones I should get????
    
    Steve O, who likes his Classical as LOUD as his Metallica!

    Try the 1812 ! Should be powerful enough.

    re: -2
    
    	The Telarc label has a bunch of discs out by Eric Kunzel and
    	the Cincinnati (Pops?). They perform alot of the classical 
    	music that you are looking for. Definitely get the version of
    	1812 Overture on Telarc.
