[Andre]

The real voice. Ivan Rebroff

 

[Astronuc]

Sheep May Safely Graze (Schafe können sicher weiden)

One of the most beautiful pieces of classical music
Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach
Performed by Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields
Conducted by Neville Marriner

Sheep may safely graze - B A C (Boys Air Choir)

Outstanding images in the video

Harp - Katrina plays Sheep May Safely Graze - I love the harp



Another favorite piece of classical music

Rachmaninoff 's vocalise played here by Itzhak Perlman

 

[Andre]

A classical classic

Duet from 'Les pêcheurs de perles'

Sunday afternoon music.

Competing for the most beautiful tune: Melody in F of Anton Rubinstein (starts at 3:24)

Third movement of the organ symphony, Saint Saëns

and, meanwhile, les oiseaux chantaient

 

[rewebster]

she is great and what a smile!

great recorded concert


oh, my...

 

[Thrice]

Sia - Breathe me

 

[turbo]

Jackson Browne live with David Lindley on fiddle. "For a Dancer"

 

[Thrice]

Best song:

I like that. I just wish she had more dissonance.

 

[-RA-]

Not to everyones taste, but some french drum and bass accompanied by powerful visionary art on youtube. This sort of music has a powerful effect on me, similar to african drumming because of its very fast tempo. The art is amazing too, read the users description about the endogenous psychadelic DMT causing dreams and causing the pictures in the video, very interesting.

 

[Andre]

I like that. I just wish she had more dissonance.

Dunno. I think she has the purest voice of all performers, with incredible clean transitions from mezzo to high soprano.

Anyway, an oldy: Roger Whittaker



Our local Belgian star: Helmut Lotti with 'Poljushko Polje'



And Il Divo should be more productive (I believe, with Celine dion):



Todays classic: Finlandia

 

[Andre]

Flower time.

Flower Duet from Lakme



And from Holland, Andre Rieu

 

[Ivan Seeking]

The ~12 year old Bianca Ryan does a fantastic job with "O Holy Night"

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Phantom of the Opera with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford


Angel of Music


Music of the Night

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Also, from one of my favorite movies - All That Jazz:
Take Off With Us


whew!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

'Deliverance' - 'Dueling banjos' scene

 

[Andre]

Soldier of orange



A movie about a Dutch resistance fighter during WW-II. The theme song is composed by Rogier van Otterloo. You can judge his quality. Unfortunately he died young due to cancer.

Give up smoking.

Forget the cognac, the music is the tune of a TV series, "De Fabriek", the mill.

lovely piece, Shostakovich

 

[Echo 6 Sierra]

This was S.T. Agnews fav-o-rite song while he was in office. At the end of the video they call it a Gospel tune. (in Bill Clinton voice)...it depends on your definition of "toke" is.

[lazypast]

best song is electric six, I am the bomb

[George Jones]

One of the first supergroups, Lennon, Clapton, Richards, and Mitchell (drummer for Hendrix), in a one-time-only live performance of Lennon's Yer Blues.

 

[Astronuc]

A true classic!

Nat & Natalie Cole "Unforgettable"


Listen to this and think about your sweetheart or someone special!


Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

<instrumental interlude>
No never before
has someone been more ooh

<Repeat>Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

 

[Math Jeans]

Listen to this song and tell me it does not have the greatest guitar playing you have ever heard. The main rift starts after a pause following the very beginning of the song.

Slither by Velvet Revolver

Youtube link pending (I can't make lots of noise right now so I'll get it later).

 

[turbo]

Hey, Jeans! If you haven't watched the movie Crossroads, you're in for a treat. Here is (SPOILER!) a guitar show-down between the protagonist and a guitar-slinging protege of the devil. Stevie Vai plays his own stuff, but of course Ralph Macchio's licks were laid down by a pro - Ry Cooder. If you haven't seen the movie yet, go out and rent it before you click this link. This clip is WAY too much of a spoiler, and you wouldn't enjoy the move as much after having seen it.

Cool! Thanks for the link.

I'll have a link for Slither in about an hour and a half.

I really should rent that movie .

 

[Math Jeans]

Ok. I found a great link for Slither.

The main guitar rift is in my opinion the best part, but I also love the main lyrics.

The rift is first used 26 seconds into the song. The main lyrics is first used 1 minute 8 seconds into the song.

"Yeaaahhhhh! Here comes the waaaateerr!"

Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ur43BHsnW4"

I've recently been quite obsessed by the song in the Audi R8 advert which is by Simone White. I have listened to the few tracks on her MySpace page and must admit I was very impressed. I'm not easily impressed since I have very precise tastes. Anyway here is the said song from the Audi R8 commercial:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aB36GAPcfvc

If you enjoy that one check out the others on her http://www.myspace.com/simonewhite" .

P.S. Audi R8 is lovely

I'm a big Elton fan. To me, about half of his stuff qualifies as classic, but some of my favorites are:
Your Song


Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding


Daniel


Candle in the Wind


Goodbye yellow brick road


Levon [one of the best of the best, IMO]

 

[turbo]

One of the best anti-war songs ever. Jackson Browne performing "Lives in the Balance" with David Lindley, Graham Nash, and David Crosby. Lindley often wears impossibly loud polyester shirts and bright-colored pants - he is quite conservative in this clip.



Studio version with nice Andean flute in the mix and a slide-show.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Very nice! I hadn't heard that before.

Tsu too! When this came out, for the longest time I didn't realize that it was done by Elton; nor did I know what a garridge was.

Some more of my easy-listening favorites:

Laughter in the Rain


Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast


Maggie May


Tonight's the Night


Lady in Red


We've Only Just Begun


Rainy Days and Mondays

Peter Tosh: Mystic Man




Peter Tosh's songs are a little different breed of reggae.

I was thinking about Carly Simon's songs---They (some) are the audible side of what a lot of men like (or would like) to hear from their woman

 

[ZapperZ]

Tsu too! When this came out, for the longest time I didn't realize that it was done by Elton; nor did I know what a garridge was.

Then has Tsu heard the "orchestral" version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now"? She re-recorded this for her "Both Sides Now" album, and man, this tune, in my book, has to be THE best song of all time. I heard it for the first time a few months after Sept. 11, and somehow, the lyrics took on a new meaning all of the sudden.
