Vanessa Mae - Storm (Live)

Remember every Prom is broadcast live on Radio 3.

This week I've made a note of:

Tuesday at 19.45 - Also Sprach Zarthustra (aka the music to "2001 - a Space Oddysey!") and Sibelius Symphony no 7,

Wednesday at 22.45 - Handel's Water Music and Fireworks Music

Friday at 19.30 - Beethoven's first two symphonies.

Finlandia too.

I heard all four seasons in live a church in Manchester at christmas one time. Excellent.

[Terpe]

Four Seasons is right up there on my list too.

Yep. A violin played well is fantastic. But played not so well then

If you want to go onto the alternatives of classical, then bands like Corvus Corax and Apocalyptica give you a slight metal twist. Gregorian tend to cover old pop songs in a classical, monk chant style. Classical music is amazing, but alternative twist can bring out amazing results.

Check this out, Apocalyptica are one on the most amazing and original bands around. You would never believe they are simply 4 men playing the cello, and a drummer. You might want to turn your speakers down though!

Well, well, well.
What can I say. You are correct truly amazing. First time for me to hear that stuff, but absolutely not the last.
Thank you for that. I'll enjoy that when I'm alone in my car and want a change.
Cheers for the link and for the others I found and followed.

Certainly a slightly different treatment on Greigs classic.....

Certainly a slightly different treatment on Greigs classic.....

A little different from the version I remember from my school days

[WhiteBloodAda]

As great as Greigs original was, there is something about the visual aspect of headbanging-cello-playing-classical music, that is rather appealing

Another twist on this classic

Question: What's brown and sitting on the piano bench?

Answer: Beethoven's last movement

Had a proper listen to this today. Bit too "metallic" for me...the Madness vid was good fun.
