I've got his "Carnival of the Animals" which I love .... I'll check that one out.

RickyMaveety · 06-21-2008, 05:49 PM

OH YES ...... I know that one!!!! I love that ..... I am buying that entire symphony as I write this!!

But ... which to buy?? The Boston, Chicago, or Berliner??

Decisions ... decisions ....

JSWolf · 06-21-2008, 05:54 PM

Boston Symphony Orchestra for sure.

JSWolf · 06-21-2008, 05:55 PM

So instead of posting a giant list, I'll just post one nice URL where you can go have a look at a lot of the stuff I like in music...

Tons and tons of music! Half of Ricky's an Dc's lists + a hundred more.

These days I go for "The Dave Weckle Band", fusion at its best and "Liquid Tension Experiment". Then in speedy stuff, there's "Dream Theatre" and lots lots more.

The ultimate tear jerker is "Nine Sili Nebesniye" by the "Chorovaya Akademia". This is Russian choir music with extreme bass singers, totally discorporating stuff. If you listen to it, put on headphones and crank them up.

From Weckle to Dream Theatre.....you may be interested in a band called Behold...The Arctopus.
Interesting 3 piece band.

The Boston it is then.

I'm also getting the song "version" by the Vards.

You know, I knew when I saw the movie "Babe" that the music was Saint-Saens, but I simply could not place it. Now I know.

Oh, man this was a good thread to start reading.

JSWolf · 06-21-2008, 06:08 PM

Babe: Pig in the City was a good movie. I caught it in HD On Demand because I was looking for a movie I hadn't seen and it was on the list and I just said, what the heck. My father0in-law also enjoyed it too.

yvanleterrible · 06-21-2008, 06:16 PM

Camille Saint-Saëns: Symphony #3 In C Minor, Op. 78 - Maestoso. Allegro. It's a Symphonic with church Organ, a very rare public performance possibility. When that Organ kicks in it's goosebump time.

Yes .... interesting. But a bit to head-banging for me. I like my music a little more melodic. I recognize the talent there ... but unfortunately the music affects me a bit like nails on a blackboard.

(affects?? effects?? -- if my grammar is bad, my spelling is even worse, and I never could be absolutely certain I was using the correct word)

Oh, and @the Wolfie .... you really should watch the first movie, "Babe" ... it was really the best of the two films. Although I loved "Pig in the City" ... except for the one part where the little kitten says "But Mama, I'm hungry." I pretty much lost it there and just started bawling like a little girl.

Yes, yes, Yvan ... but my question was which performance to puchase?? I decided on the Boston Symphony. I listened to the Maestoso Allegro of three different performances, and decided that the Boston had the best balance of pipe organ to orchestra.

And, you are right .... goosebumps.

yvanleterrible · 06-21-2008, 06:20 PM

Have a physical chore you want to do in a jiffy? Try "Elbow grease" by Niacin. It'll kick your shorts down, you might want to clip on a pair of suspenders. I just wish I could put that kind of music on the soccer field.

yvanleterrible · 06-21-2008, 06:28 PM

"That's As Far As I'll Go" from Saga... oh, anything from their long 30 years of being. But the two latest "Trust" and "10,000" days, I listen to often. They have the "Work mood" I need to perform in my shop. And so do Van Halen

RWood · 06-21-2008, 07:32 PM

To me there are two kinds of music (that's 10 for you binary types) -- interesting and boring. The high school kids down the block that are playing their hearts out and every now and then getting the right note can hold my attention far longer than many of the fine orchestras that play a wonderful piece of music to perfection without a glimmer of emotion. My favorite "serious" music is almost everything by Sir Edward Elgar (2nd Symphony is a favorite) and everything I have heard by Charles Ives (the Seasons is excellent.)

I have attached a list of the groups level directory structure from the pop/folk section of the music server. It is representative of what I listen to. Of those listed I favor the late Warren Zevon the most (as VR has already found out.) There are so many on the list that most people have never heard about; but, have made excellent music. A lot of the entries have been transfered from the original Lps as they were never issued in the CD format.

Was that actually a reference to the band "Saga"? I have not heard of/from them in years! Glam/Prog/Pop...what the hell would you classify them as anyway? They seemed like "Loverboy" with some talent.

I like all the ones you mentioned, but my favorite is probably "The Two Trees." It has some personal meaning for me.

I don't know how I forgot to list Malcolm Daglish earlier.

I suppose I should confess a fondness for prog-rock, too. Particularly Canadian "power trio" bands.
