CLT: Holst's Jupiter

Which is probably my favorite classical piece. I don't know much about classical music, but I've always really liked Holst.

What about everyone else's favorite classical music?

My favorite from that suite is either Mars or Venus, depending on my mood (and the performance -- some renditions of Venus tend to drag). Mars was half a century ahead of its time, and John Williams lifted the climax of "Battle of Yavin" (right before Luke destroys the Death Star) almost straight from it.

But my absolute favorite piece of classical music is Chopin's Op. 10 No. 12, the Revolutionary Etude. One of my favorite performances:

Sviatoslav Richter - Revolutionary Etude


Frederic Chopin has always deeply impressed me. He's an early Romantic composer, but the influence from the generation before him -- the late Classical composers -- is unmistakable.

My favorite classic piece is Pachebel's Canon. When Jun Togawa does it punk version. It's been posted before but just in case you missed it:

Jun Togawa


CLT: Two albums have leaked, the new Ayumi Hamasaki and the new Shins.

On initial play-throughs:

Party Queen- a very surpising album. With just the right amount of uber cheese (and I dig the showtunes a lot, I'd gladly take more from her). 7.5/10. Original score expectation: 4/10

Port of Morrow- realistically what was to be expected, but not the album of the year like it should have been. 7/10. Original score expectation: At least an 8.5/10

Hopefully, my performance on the 6 April would not sound like that.


I have many favorites pieces of music. So this will be hard to choose.

Here goes:

Maxim Vengerov - Ysaye Ballade


Maxim Vengerov is my absolutely favorite violinist. David Oistrakh takes second place. Because Mr Oistrakh sometimes plays too fast to develop the music's emotions fully while Mr Vengerov develops the emotions fully and at a perfect speed.

Not related but Mr Vengerov makes funny faces when he plays so that is a bonus.

I don't love etudes. I like music that tells a story. Etudes are too mechanical to me. Perfectly well in theory in music mathematics but it doesn't sound very nice to me.

Favorite composers? Claude Debussy (Started to listen to him after knowing Ringo is a big fan.), Erik Satie, Tchaikovsky and Ravel.

I first learned of Holst via Isao Tomita.
Holst/Tomita - Mars


Favorite "classical" is probably Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians.
Music for 18 Musicians - Beginning


I like a lot of Philip Glass and LaMonte Young stuff too, but I used to work for those guys, and therefore probably don't have a very objective perspective.

Both Ravel's Adagio assai (second movement) from the Piano Concerto in G and the first movement of Rachmaninoff's second Piano Concerto. An essential recording of the latter would certainly be the one for Evgeny Kissin's flawless performance:

Evgeny Kissin - Piano Concerto no. 2 in C minor (Sergei Rachmaninoff) - First Movement (Part I)

Evgeny Kissin - Piano Concerto no. 2 in C minor (Sergei Rachmaninoff) - First Movement (Part II)
