Re: Classical Music.
OK. Anything but Mahler. When it gets over 60 min, that's past my attention span. I'll have to consume Bruckner at one movement per day rate:

Re: Classical Music.
Not really very memorable melodies, but tolerable, for a Swede. Better than Alfven. Nice use of strings and winds back and forth.

Re: Classical Music.
Beautifully played and artfully filmed, but the audio a little bright and totally over compressed. There's no need to hear finger prints scraping across the strings. Still...

Re: Classical Music.
I have some oboe concertos by Albinoni. However, the greater classical world knows him only for his Adagio. It was a fragment on a piece of paper that his biographer then worked out to extend to the known piece.

That wouldn't have been out of place at an André Rieu gig.

Re: Classical Music.
Youtube ensnares me somewhat less than Wikipedia, but both have me jumping from one link to another. In this case your link led me to finding a fairly detailed demonstration of how the theremin is played.

Re: Classical Music.
My listening experience somehow has left me unable appreciate any Haydn symphonies for long, and only a couple of Mozart ones. Extending from the piano music I listen from Haydn, I can enjoy some Beethoven trios. None of them were in the 99c "BiG Box" I just got, only piano sonatas.
It's almost the same with Sibelius chamber music. I like only a very few piano sonatas, one string quartet and all the trios he wrote before he was famous.

Re: Classical Music.
About half of the piano sonatas I can listen to. Half I don't like at all
This has some "too many notes" parts but most of it is good.

Re: Classical Music.
when you want to beef up a quartet, you add another cello. Who needs violas?
