Mr. Wicket Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 For whatever reason, I haven't ever felt Bach was on the same plane as Beethoven. Mozart, yes. While not mature, there's a charm and beauty to his music that could rival Beethoven (or so I felt before hearing the Furtwangler performance), and his 41st Symphony - particularly that dramatic finale - is one of the great works. But either way, after hearing the Furtwangler in full (the entire 68 minute epic, which I'll be uploading in installments - movement #1 is now going up) I'm now having a hard time putting Beethoven on a parallel with anyone.
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 No...Bach is sublime man...Bach is the master of classical music... Bach has such dpeth DEPTH! Mozart is fine....Beethoven is the master of the heart. But Bach....Bach...Bach....GRAVITAS!!! Here, I posted this before....this is a cool come down...listen to it: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um1lA9m4wL0]YouTube - Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Chitlins Con Carne"[/ame]
Mr. Wicket Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 Got any more Bach you can throw out/send over? :winky: In the meantime, I shall queue up the Goldberg Variations...
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Google Fredrick Magle....I will too...by the way....did you listen to the song above? You have to listen to it to know what chill actually means.
Mr. Wicket Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 Learn to fly, my firends: On an aside, have you heard the Tom Petty song by the same name? One of my very favourites (although I do have a soft spot and plenty of space on my ipod for Petty & the Heartbreakers).
Mr. Wicket Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 Google Fredrick Magle....I will too...by the way....did you listen to the song above? You have to listen to it to know what chill actually means. Not yet sir. Right now I've got a bit of the Grateful Dead (live) playing, and I don't interrupt Terrapin Station for anything. :D What an awesome song that is. Once that's done I'll play that clip.
cochise Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Post me some songs I want to listen to mate...do me a favour and invite me in. I await.

Running Down a Dream is one of my favourite things to listen to when driving. xtgYXLl3Wgc&feature=related BTW, I've also emailed you the other three movements of the Furtwangler.
