Moonlight Sonata



I've noticed that this has grown by almost a half million views in little over a week.

The best interpretation ever!

Handel - Sarabande

Thought this was very appropriate to 'resurrect' today, Easter Sunday!

Hope you enjoy it.

Beautiful, Lando.

Had the windows open and was playing the selections from this thread.  My tinnitus warrants higher volume.

When I went outside, my neighbors next door thanked me and asked me "What CD were you playing?"

This is shaping up as a beautiful thread.  Mrs. Lando has asked about it too!

The slide show with this one is as beautiful as the music, imo.

Wow!  Strange at first, but then I couldn't take my eyes off of this.  They have done a whole series in this manner.

There is also a series using held notes as points of an angle making multiple triangles.  It's interesting to watch.

I guess these arrangements can be made digitally, without instruments.  All you need is time.   And an ear.

Isn't it though?  Very powerful.

I come on this thread and select a page and immerse myself.  Makes me want to live forever!

I thought of this thread this morning when they talked about The Queen going to church and  they played classical music during the service today.......

Yes, me too!  Can't explain why I've been drawn to this thread all the time. 

Country's going to hell....raw capitalism will someday be outlawed.  [see Obama talking about 'getting the gougers"]

How we can be led over the cliff like lemmings is something crazy to me.

And remember....for those that would be prone to slitting their wrists on the 2nd movement    :laugh:....the masterful third movement starts at 6:00!

Thanks DC.  

I close with this (I have to get to bed... cooking tomorrow for a house full).  I hope I am not too far afield, but the human voice is simply beautiful...  Hope you don't mind.


Shenandoah

I went back and listened to this again right after Perlman's violin concerto.

Thanks again, my FRiend!

To create something like that is incomprehensible to me.  It must be divine.

Well, they didn't have ipads and X boxes to distract them.  That's a start.

But writing for each piece and hearing and seeing the notes on paper in your head?

No wonder some of them were unbearable to be around.

Ah yes, George Winston. 

I associate him with Windham Hill, believe it or not.  Great music.
