Hector, I just found this on NPR's World of Opera website & thought you might be interested (being Berlioz and sacred music - sounded right up your alley!)

Cheers!

December 20
Hector Berlioz: L'enfance du Christ
Stuttgart Radio Symphony
Conductor: Roger Norrington
CAST: Christiane Oelze (Mary); Christopher Maltmann (Joseph); Ralk Lukas (Herod).

To celebrate the Berlioz Bicentennial and observe the holiday season, World of Opera leaves the opera house for a week for "The Childhood of Christ," Berlioz's highly dramatic, "sacred trilogy" -- in a brilliant performance led by one of the composer's true champions, Sir Roger Norrington.

I hope you enjoy your new CD's Hector.

I asked my dad which Mahler symphony's he likes, and he named the 1st among others. He said the reason the local symphony doesn't play it is because it calls for a very large orchestra. It's not feasable for our modest sized (but not puny) and talented orchestra.

hectorberlioz · 12-19-2003, 12:47 AM

thanks nirv! we need to talk on msn if you dont mind(well we dont need to, but it'd be nice, eh?)
out of all Mahler's symphonies that i've, i think his sixth is the best. he supposedly wrote it for his wife.
hey, i really started liking his first quite a bit now! the second movement is so nice....

Ornelírë Mistë · 12-19-2003, 02:44 PM

what a coincidence, that's the one i got.

Classical music.

in my opinion, it's the best genre. a good place to go to find out about classical music is;

hectorberlioz · 12-19-2003, 04:53 PM

tell me all my classical music whacks....
have you had the pleaure of listening to Beethoven's tenth?

Elfhelm · 12-20-2003, 11:53 AM

I've heard people refer to the Missa Solemnis as Beethoven's 10th. Is that what you mean?

hectorberlioz · 12-20-2003, 04:36 PM

nah, i was just pulling strings....

**Nurvingiel** · 12-20-2003, 04:44 PM

I just went to a great jazz concert called "Jazzy Nutcracker", by the Toronto Septet. It was awesome. The feature, a jazzed up Nutcracker, was so good, you would have thought Tcaicovsky wrote it for 4 saxaphones, jazz piano, drums, and upright bass. They also did Ravell. I think the two composers would have enjoyed the concert!

hectorberlioz · 12-21-2003, 12:21 AM

i like swing jazz occasionally.

**Nurvingiel** · 12-21-2003, 02:36 AM

Have you ever heard jazz oboe? Or jazz alto flute?

My brother and dad are into jazz, and my mom and I are really getting into it. I'm also starting to like modern saxaphone music, because one of my friends from university is majoring in it.

Jazz is so versatile and natural. I really enjoy its relaxed, spontaneous nature.

hectorberlioz · 12-21-2003, 10:47 PM

well, hector berlioz was good friends with adolphe saxe, who invented the saxaphone.
berlioz was also the first one to use saxaphone in his compositions.

Elfhelm · 12-23-2003, 01:19 PM

I have heard Eric Dolphy playing bass clarinet. It was awesome. It was at a friend's house. I didn't buy that album, though, mostly because my wishlist is so big and it has never been placed at the top of it. Haven't heard anyone play oboe in jazz, yet.

I bet if you started a thread called simply "Jazz" it could get as big as this one in time.

**Nurvingiel** · 12-23-2003, 04:58 PM

Thanks Elfhelm, I started the new thread, and I'll stop leading everyone off topic in this thread.
