cochise Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Can't get some good Spanish Gypsy violin on the tube... Heavy duty! Grapelli is a once off isn't he? And how good is his jazz violin? Unbelievable!

cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Stefan Grapelli: (love that violin) In the frenzy for the the violin...I almost missed Django....how good was Django in this clip? Sublime!
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Awesome stuff there' date=' cochise.[/quote'] Graphic mate....so glad you enjoyed it...that is what this thread is about.... Post some music....I want to listen to you too....let speech turn to music.
Mr. Wicket Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 I can't listen to any other classical music for a while. I just heard the greatest thing ever. 1942 Furtwangler recording of Beethoven's 9th. OH MY FREAKING GOD IS THAT AMAZING. (cochise check yr email!)
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Oh sweeeeet......it's coming to me....how....words escape.....
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 The grandeur...the pathos...the renting of the veil asunder....the unmasking of human reality.... BEETHOVEN!!! He knew LOVE!
Mr. Wicket Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 And Furtwangler. What a maestro. That takes the 9th Symphony to a whole new level.
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Such a sublime piece of music you sent me. I am still reeling from it's effect....the choir at the end....aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.....
Mr. Wicket Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 I'll be uploading the other three movements of the symphony soon. Truly, truly beautiful. And after hearing this, I recant any comments I made comparing Mozart or Wagner to Beethoven. Both brilliant, Mozart truly a genius - but nothing (not even my favourite 'Jupiter', Mozart's 41st symphony) compares to this. Ethereal?
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 The comparison was always beteen Bach and Beethoven. Beethoven pulls your heart apart....Bach rescues you after it has been pulled apart...then he pulls is apart again.....gently... Mozart did not mature enough to get into this league, despite his majestic music.
