No politics, just brilliant old music

My favourite Baroque Italian.

I’d be even more of an obnoxious shithouse on this forum if I didn’t listen to this and other selected works of Elgar every so often.

It’s been a while. Thanks for reminding me of this other world again Metallica.

Wotan’s farewell to Brunnhilde. In case you’ve ever wondered what all the fuss was about Wagner. Or Bryn Terfel, for that matter.

Like that. Hadn't previously like Elgar, but that's beautiful.

For me, Bach is the master and I love his cello suites. It's just one instrument but Bach implies a whole orchestra of sound in these pieces. Here's the wonderful Yo-Yo Ma with the sublime no 1 suite.

I was reading Patrick Leigh Fermor's trilogy about walking through europe before the second world war, and he was describing some of the baroque architecture. Wonderfully descriptive, but the terms meant nothing to me, so I took a book out of the library. WOW!

Lovers of Nimrod might like Elgar’s contemporary, Sibelius. I was lucky to be in the hall for this.



Or Tchaikovsky’s epic finale



Or Prokofiev’s violin concerto. She rips into the magical third movement at 14’ 20”.



A chance for my regular plug for Radio 3’s Building A Library podcast series on BBC Sounds. The host and one of their experts take about an hour to sample and compare recordings of a single piece with great warmth and enthusiasm, but in a way that’s completely accessible to a newcomer. Find the huge archive, pick one you fancy and dive in, perfect for a run or a walk, I’ve been introduced to so much great music by it. The best thing on the BBC (sorry Test Match Special, you’re dumped).

I should be so lucky, if you think he can make a note last, you should see how long he can hold on to a half.

I'm not surprised…Elgar being an anagram of lager.

Lovely Metallica. The emotion in your piece (and the other clips) has a parallel in football.

The first time I went to an opera - a long time ago - I had been to Loftus Road that afternoon, to see Rangers play Manchester City. The match was very good. When friends asked me what I thought of the opera, I recall saying that it was as good as the football.

I think it's fair to say that much of classical music is an acquired taste and it takes dedicated listening to really appreciate the art and artist. For example, I am a fan of Franz Liszt, but I've found my friends who aren't really into classical music can't listen to him. For a start, their attention span, being used to general modern music, is too short.

I think a modern composer who delivers both the craft and depth of classical and the brevity of the modern idiom is Joep Beviing, and this is a beautiful example:
