    It's been a while since this thread, it seems.

    haha. I'm in law school and working at Best Buy. Sorry for the delay, but that's what I do best...

    Only just noticed your Water Goblin link.

    I heard this one live back when I was in Edinburgh. Very nice.

    Norris is indeed a modern composer. I think this orchestra's plan is to pair famous pieces everyone will go to with new compositions. Last time, in Scheherazade, I heard a really nice fresh piece about R. Kelly's life - the motif was fantastic, but I couldn't remember it.

    This is the da-da-da-DUN. http://www.cso.co.nz/concert.asp?con...nth=2010-07-17
    It's paired with Mozart's Basson Concerto and Strauss' Metamorphosen. Sounds pretty solid.

    I'm really gutted about missing a lot of last year's stuff. There was Saint-Saen's Organ Symphony, and there was Dvorak's Ninth (!) paired with Rhapsody in Blue (!!!).

    EDIT: Hmm, I just noticed I'm posing this on my own page. Oh well.

    I aprrove of this concert I've not heard Norris (I assume this is modern?) but the other two are excellent.

    I had a good laugh when I saw "good ol' da-da-da-DUN", though the fact I knew straight away what you meant says a lot about just how overplayed it is I'd say check what it's paired with. If there's something else with it that's good then definitely go for it. And of course it's always nicer live than it is on a recording (or on a stupid TV ad...)

    Newsflash.

    If you can find Debussy's Dances for Harp and String Orchestra (or maybe just orchestra?), listen to it and let me know what you think. If you like "magical" themes (and I see to remember you do) then you'll love it.

    That is all.

    I found the Musical Joke to be more weird than funny actually, mainly because a lot of things he does with tonality and (a)symmetry are pretty much standard in contemporary music. I wonder if he was aware he was setting the stage for 20th century composers... he might have been experimenting with things that were completely beyond the classics of the time and decided to disguise the experiment as a joke - I don't think experimentation was something you could even think of doing in court music at the time.

    Shosty recommendation: cello concerto, symphonies 5 and 10. There are others but I'm ill and not very able to think straight, I'll send you some more when I recover. For the cello concerto find one where Mstislav Rostropovich is playing if you can - the concerto was dedicated to him and every time I hear/see it performed it's always him I imagine playing.

    Happy new year!

    The stuff that removes your jaw? I think the evidence speaks for itself.

    BTW, you're the second person to post one of these message thingies on my profile thing. And as chance would have it, it was dead on 365 days after the first one. Anyway, happy new year man.

    My Meharry surname is originally Irish, the King side is english pretty much all the way through. Though the Armsdon side has Mexican/Spanish along with Rom. Douglas as far as I know is Scotts as far back as we can trace.

    I've never heard this one before. Beautiful! Very Shostakovich-y.
    The speed isn't surprising. You'll notice this with most compositions. Gershwin played his Rhapsody in Blue much faster than anyone does nowadays. Khatchaturian gives Gayeneh a much faster pace too (very noticeable with the Saber Dance). I think later conductors/solists add the more ponderous and grandiose interpretations to what are originally very fluid pieces.
    I just got past the 4 minute mark. I love that bit.
    I like one of the comments. "Too fast for Allegro, but he's the composer..."
