Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England

Born in 1599 and died in 1658
(September)...

(I hope someone gets it! :cool:)

Well, I don't get it... What does Oliver Cromwell and Frederic Chopin have in common? Perhaps it Horowitz... Or maybe it's the Polonaise? Or the heroic part?
 


Went looking for a video of Swan Lake Apotheosis and came up with this ultra gay version.

Actually not the best orchestration I've heard of it, but I guess the male swans make up for it.
 
Symphony Number 5 by Gustav Mahler, written a little over 100 years ago, performed by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.

Hearing it IN ITS ENTIRETY for the very first time ever, about 20 years ago, driving at night on a tollway in the rain, the result was probably the most profound and cathartic effect a piece of music has ever had on me.
 
I was born in the wrong era...

There is something so honest, so pure about impressionism. Debussy, Ravel, Faure, Boulanger...all are delicious.

However, I do have a soft spot in my heart for Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun(debussy)

and when I'm in an angry mood...totally some Rite of Spring
 
I just found my favourite classical vocal piece!!! Are you ready for this?

Mozart (1782): Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber (English: “Lick my ass right well and clean”)

It is believed that he wrote this as a ‘party piece’ for his friends. Funny guy!

Original Lyrics:

Lick my ass nicely,
lick it nice and clean,
nice and clean, lick my ass.
That's a greasy desire,
nicely buttered,
like the licking of roast meat, my daily activity.
Three will lick more than two,
come on, just try it,
and lick, lick, lick.
Everybody lick his own ass himself.

Listen to it here, in original German:

 
I was skeptical, and thought maybe the entry, YouTube, and all were an ongoing wiki/internet prank. But I asked a friend who teaches classical music history at a university, and got this reply:

Frank,
I had never heard of it, but a check of a reliable source says that it's a real work by Mozart, written in about 1782, and appearing in both the old and new collected works. Mozart's letters have quite a lot of scatological humor. The canons are minor and rarely discussed works, and I guess it's no surprise that it would be omitted from the complete CD set.

Now, where's that quote from Shakespeare about golden showers? LOL
 
I love chopin and ballade no 1 is a favorite because of the mix of emotions it invokes from quiet contemplation to dramatic intensity. It is best played by Gavrilov imo.

I also love the Romance from Gadfly by shostakovic just sheer heart warming beauty

Music composed by a contemporary classical composer from Greece, Eleni Karaindrou, used for an art-house movie. The movie was not so good, but the music is excellent:

I also love the Ballades, I had never heard Gavrilov, I like his phrasing, and the ascending octaves a third of the way through (meas.119)...it's not easy to play those with such fluidity, thanks! I love Ashkenazy's Scriabin Sonatas, are there other versions I should hear?
 
(I aspire to get the Cromwell reference, but I did read that he died of ague (malaria) which could have been alleviated by quinine if only for its provenance, it was called Jesuit Bark, I guess he would rather die than eat the wood of a Jesuit, I don't get it, but that's history.)

I haven't heard this, but if Cromwell died of malaria, that's the first good thing I've heard about that disease.
 
As a young man I fell in love with Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's
"Overture to The Marriage of Figaro"
 
Oh yes, and The Magic Flute
