Re: Music for the soul
Pretentious grandads, wotz rong wif a bit of Lady Gaga innit?
Oh that's right, she's not really music for the soul, more the soggy bit inbetween your little toe and its neighbour after a CFT."I firmly believe that we should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war." George Bush Snr, A World Transformed, 1998

The ideal would be to like both Gaga and Puccini, but there is peer pressure on you to like Gaga.

I could listen to that Sissel woman (page 3) all day.
Go on, have a listen to Pavarotti, you might even like it. We won't tell.Peccavi.
Tried like a good 'un, did it all wrong. Thought that the hard way was taking too long.
Too late for regret or chemical change. Yesterday's targets have gone out of range.

Gaga is more performance artiste, is she not? A Bowie-esque burlesque act? Vaudeville meets Stock Aitken and Waterman."As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment. At the back of one of the houses a young woman was kneeling on the stones, poking a stick up the leaden waste-pipe which ran from the sink inside and which I suppose was blocked. I had time to see everything about her - her sacking apron, her clumsy clogs, her arms reddened by the cold. She looked up as the train passed, and I was almost near enough to catch her eye."

I went to a funeral recently and one of the musical pieces was Lisa Gerrard's - 'Sanvean' ( I am your Shadow ) Sorry can download (I know..... I know) Worth a U-Tube burst. Went out and bought some of her tunes when she was with the 'Dead Can Dance' Aussie group days. Originally Posted by FiveAlpha

Something a bit special here..."As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment.

Ahh...Debussy, natural tranquiliser.
Clair de Lune by the great man >> YouTube - Claude Debussy - Clair de lune
I have an orchestral arrangement played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra which is beautiful but not available on YouTube unfortunately.
BSL, have you tried Sibelius 7, a very short symphony but too long to post on here?

Thanks for posting that BSL - very nice and a worthwhile 5 1/2 minutes.

No LPJ; but will acquire forthwith on your nod. I like Sibelius in the same way as Schoenberg; the changes in direction are intense. Originally Posted by LancePrivateJones

If duPre playing Elgar then worth also watching the performance... suspect she meant every note. Originally Posted by Auld-Yin

Lovely to see Jackie Du Pre doing the Elgar with her old man conducting BTW, tragic what happened to her though.
Great bit of music from Elgar's Crown of India Suite, 'March of the Moghul Emperors', not available on YouTube unless school bands are your bag, but if you want to save buying the entire suite PM me and I'll knock a CD together for you.

You reek of good taste Sir! Akiko is breathtaking talent as they say. Hilary is Ameerkan, but there is something English about her, I'd have to say. Originally Posted by genuine_exscaley
