Classical pieces on YouTube

Postby Hugh-AR » 04 Dec 2017 19:23

As we have a 'Classical' section now, I reckon we need somewhere to post any YouTube 'classical' clips that we find really inspiring. Here's one I found after doing a 'search' for Brandon Ridenour, mentioned by Charles (ChuckH) in his posting of A Trumpeter's Lullaby.

The below is one of my favourite (classical?) pieces:

Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin.



Anything you are watching that you really like, and consider to be 'Classical' .. please post a REPLY here.

When I was at University up in Scotland (Dundee) I shared a flat with a Norwegian lad (that goes back a bit!) and he was really keen on Grieg (well, he would be, wouldn't he?). He had this 'vinyl' of Grieg's Piano Concerto which he loved to play, and being a pianist I was hooked. Looking back at it, the recording was only in Mono, but the way it was played was very moving. I have heard several versions of this on YouTube, but none like this one recorded live from Seoul, with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. The pianist is Valentina Lisitsa. What a moving performance!

One of the comments from YouTube:
The Pianist and the orchestra performed Grieg's concerto with the exact interpretation and emotion Grieg wrote the piece. An outstanding pianist.

Listen with headphones, or through a good amplifier with sub-woofer.







I can't imagine anyone saying they don't like classical music once they have listened to this.
