What Classical Music Are You Listening To Tonight?
 
If the recent thread posted by Cyril - http://audioaficionado.org/music/373...ggestions.html is any indicator, there aren't an overwhelming number of classical music fans on Audio Aficionado -

NEVERTHELESS - I think it worth giving a try at seeking out those people who probably like classical music IN ADDITION TO all the rock, jazz, folk etc. etc. etc. that is posted on the other "What are You Listening To" threads.

With that in mind . . . Please give a try at posting your favorite classical discs. Remember:

CLASSICAL MUSIC SOUNDS AWESOME ON YOUR FABULOUS SYSTEMS

I'm listening to MISSA CRIOLLA - Jose Carreras

This CD has been included on almost every "best of" list ever published - TAS, Stereophile, etc. A Philips recording with unbelievably beautiful male vocal and choral performances.

Try it, I promise, you'll like it!!!!! :lala:

Now, I'm listening to SOLID BRASS AT THE OPERA - Opera Favorites for Brass and Percussion - a Dorian Recording on CD

Great music for a demonstration of the refinement and power of your stereo. . . . . No singing - just great music.

On Mercury Living Presence - Morton Gould - Spirituals & Samuel Barber Medea - Ballet Suite. Performed by Howard Hanson & The Eastman Rochester Orchestra (recorded in 1959)

Kinda boring so far - If it doesn't get better, I'm going to change records.

:sorry-3:

Julian.......Just finished listening to Janine Jansen - Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (SACD) on the tube system in the studio. Excellent.

Julian...I remembered I had Glen Gould's Goldberg Variations CD on hand. So just popped it on. Beautiful. I ordered some of your suggestions so I am waiting for the goodies to arrive and will start spinning some classical once I have new stuff to check out. Thx for the suggestions again:

You ain't going to believe it . . . . But. . . . .

I am listening to an extraordinary classical composition by:

ELVIS COSTELLO

Elvis Costello - - - Il Sogno A Ballet after Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream

Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas on Deutsche Grammophon

This was Costello's first composition for Orchestra and "stands up well in comparison with George Gershwin's concert music".

I kid you not, this is great stuff.
