GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

I know, I know. These threads are proliferating like lagomorphs, but I need this one, haha.

Mostly for Baroque, Classical, Opera, Ballet, Orchestral with a string section and such, I hope no one hates me for creating yet another music video thread.

My first entry is Baroque, from my favorite composer: Arcangelo Corelli. Sonata in G, Op.2 No.12.

Monica Huggett, Alison Bury - Baroque violins.
Japp Ter Linden - Baroque cello.
Hopkinson Smith - Theorbo.
Ton Koopman - Harpsichord.

Excellent, if not a little over my head..but

My favourite classical piece

Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt - Åse's Death

ahh this piece is nice ....this is the Karaoke version mind you

Tchaicovsky - 1812 Overture

Is J.S. Bach baroque enough for you?

Here's "Air on a G String" played by Mr. Malmsteen.

Oh yes. But I prefer this modern version:



Contrabass: Oroh Angiama
Harmonic: Philip Achille
Hammond organ: Howard Goodall

it's Bach, a little hackneyed, but for the love of god its Pau Casals

Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet

Ah yes, the Romantics. Romeo and Juliet got me crying. I remember once I arrived to my ESL class with my eyes all red: I had been listening to it on the bus. The yearning, fervent yet candid love theme always gets to me.

A favorite of mine, one of Kreisler's caprices (he often made his own compositions pass as if written by one of the old masters--he was afraid people could reject his music): Liebesleid (Love Song). It's the Lithuanian National Philharmonic Orchestra with Avri Levitan playing the viola.

Beethoven's Op. 24, Sonata #5 "Spring" in F major.

Violin: Henryk Szeryng
Piano: Arthur Rubinstein

First movement: allegro.



Second movement: molto expressivo.



Third movement: scherzo.
Fourth movement: allegro molto.

One of my favorites. This is a good version (not one of the best though), and the videos are not bad at all.

W. A. Mozart. Requiem In D Minor, KV 626. The Funeral Mass, his very last composition--he didn't finish it, so it was completed using bits and pieces from other masses.

1. Requiem aeternam



2. Kyrie eleison



3. Dies irae



4. Tuba Mirum



5. Rex tremendae



6. Recordare



7. Confutatis



8. Lacrimosa



9. Domine Jesu



10. Hostias



11. Sanctus



12. Benedictus



13. Agnus dei



14. Lux aeterna



Mozart. The Original Goth.
