I like the aria in shawshank redemption that the Tim Robbins guy is listening to. I know the aria is from a mozart opera, I just cant think of which one.

Alqualaure · 10-28-2003, 11:07 AM

I believe that is Sull'aria ... Ricevete, O Padroncina, Queste Rose from The Marriage of Figaro.

And what a good movie, I might add!

Ah yes, excellante movie. Excellante aria. Excellant aria for movie

Today I listened to all my favorite allegros in a couple of symphonies. Trying to decide which was my more favorite

Shostakovich: 8th-third movement
Berlioz: harold-fourth movement

It came between these two.

Elfhelm · 10-29-2003, 06:41 PM

That would be a hard one to call. How about a favorite adagio? I'll go with Beethoven's 3rd on that.

I'd have to agree there

You listen to Britten's WAR REQUIEM much?
I love that third movement.

Elfhelm · 10-30-2003, 01:41 PM

Sadly, the War Requiem is one of the pieces missing from my collection. I do love Britten and have sung the beautiful Misericordia. Which performance do you have? Do you recommend it?

hectorberlioz · 10-30-2003, 03:31 PM

I have the Robert Shaw(not the actor

) conducting recording. I strongly recomment that ine.

Also
If you are interested in getting a Different Mozart's requiem recording,I warn against the Herbert von Karajan version. Although he is an excellant conductor, his interpretation of mozart's requiem stinks. The Sir Colin Davis recording is excellant though, and the Helmuth Rilling isnt bad either.
Look for Leos Janacek's glagolitic mass, with Riccardo Chailly conducting.
Someone know where i can get Dvorak's Requiem?(oh! didnt know it existed did ya?)

Elfhelm · 10-30-2003, 04:04 PM

An excellent suggestion! Shaw, that is. His choral ideas always surprise and delight me. Atlanta was lucky to have him. It's too bad you weren't born a few years earlier, eh? This is a great idea. I'll move it to the top of my wish list.

Yeah, I wish.

Hey, did you know that Dvorak wrote a requiem? I just found out yesterday. His sacred work "stabat mater" is excellant.

I had no idea. Like most people I only know his New World Symphony, and though it's nice to see in concert I didn't have an urge to collect him. If I see one I will get back to you. I usually look for hard-to-find recording in the Schwann catalog.

hectorberlioz · 10-30-2003, 05:58 PM

Whoa! never heard anything else of his?! do you know what youre missing!? you are missing the 'C' in 'C'lassical!
Alright*calms down a bit*
Check these out by Dvorak

Stabat Mater
Symphony no.7
Slavonic Dances
Piano quintets

Elfhelm · 10-30-2003, 06:07 PM

I'll look for them at the library. But I think I'm probably missing the "R" in Romantic, if anything. I avoid a lot of the mid-19th century. I usually prefer a touch of restraint. But I haven't heard the work so I won't assume it to be as excessive as much of the work of his contempraries. (On the other hand I love opera. Isn't that strange?)

hectorberlioz · 10-30-2003, 06:14 PM

Lol, The 'R' in Romantic. Sorry.
Yes you will love his stuff.
Are you someone who prefers classical to romantic?
Hey, you should hear Haydn's 'mass in a time of war'. Britten's war requiem was inspired by it.

Elfhelm · 10-30-2003, 07:30 PM

Actually, yes. And I prefer modern, medieval, and renaisance to romantic, too.

But today I am succumbing to a certain romanticism because we lost a great tenor. Franco Corelli passed away last night. He was 82 I bought two recordings that day my mother took me to the record store to buy my first albums. One was Toscanini conducting La Boheme and the other was a collection of arias and songs sung by Franco Corelli. That was about 35 years ago. So I'll be listening to him tonight when I get home.

hectorberlioz · 10-30-2003, 11:07 PM

Oh how sad. I've never heard of him though.
My parents are shocked and relieved that I like classical music instead of anything else.
However, my liking opera gave them a positive shock.

b.banner · 10-31-2003, 12:45 AM

i just listened to beethovens fifth

Elfhelm · 10-31-2003, 02:31 PM

Actually, I was going to listen to Franco Corelli last night but instead I went for Beethoven's 9th. I just moved and my wife and I finally unpacked the record player. Well, I have a tradition that I have to play The 9th first in a new place.

So I'm listening to Franco today.

hectorberlioz · 11-01-2003, 12:08 AM

cool tradition

I'll do that with the symphonie fantastique when i get married and move

Hasty Ent · 11-01-2003, 03:09 PM

spent the past week listening to Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and Bachianas Brasileiras by Heitor Villa-Lobos

hectorberlioz · 11-01-2003, 03:27 PM

Hi Hasty Ent

I've never listened any Heitor Villa-lobos. Can you give me some pointers? I've been curious about that composer for a while now...
