Now, I know some of you will think I have gone soft in the head, and that might well be the case.... But..... The Royal London Philharmonic Orchestra is in Melbourne this weekend and I reckon it might provide a spectacle well worthy of seeing/hearing.
I am not all that into much classical music apart from the usual populist stuff that you hear regularly, Pachelbel Canon in D Major the one I know best and like the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZHw9uyj81g Has anyone seen something like this as well, not a real classical music buff, and come away impressed or depressed? My music collection includes everything ever done by AC/DC before they went soft in the late eighties and lots of various old stuff that I love. So it is pretty out of left field for me, but I reckon it might be good?

I was totally amazed at how 30-40 people could play in unison and create such a stunning sound. Was the first, but defiantly not the last I will go and see. Well worth seeing just once by anyone. |

I would love go and see the London Philharmonic, its just not gonna happen this time dammit!!!
mcnews...i have a couple of versions of Pachelbel Canon in D Major and you are right, that is definitely one of the better ones... Quote:
This would have to be one of my favorite versions of Revels Bolero though, its by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWMs_663KUA&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcKhp...eature=related ....i have this on DVD at home and when its up on the flat screen and surround sound system it is awsome!!! And when i play this modern classic theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upsmjJRYmzw while driving, i have this uncontrolable urge to throw things at German cars as i pass them.... Love my classics....
