Fantastico strings! Julian Rachlin and friends play a piece by Piazzolla.

Maria Callas - La Leggenda I Capolavori - superb album.

Well. to tell you the truth, I am listening to my own recent composition, Obsessive Fantasy for String Quartet, first movement.
Listening carefully to see if it works.
Otherwise, I was listening to Vivaldi's Gloria this morning.

Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Segal's Chamber Music. Not at all what you might expect, and not âclassical musicâ, strictly speaking, or even loosely speaking for that matter - just seems to fit here better than anywhere else â¦
The title track (minute-long intro alert) â

^Have you listened to anything by the composer John Luther Adams SteveO? He won the Pullitzer for 'Become Ocean' recently. Similar, in a way.
Out of sheer curiosity, I've been listening to Joe Jackson's Symphony No. 1. Where does it belong? Classical is closest IMHO, so I choose this thread. However, it gets a bit wild and woolly along the way; there are echoes of allsorts here. Itâs a great listen, very accessible, and as a matter of interest, Stevie Vai is guitarist of choice on this album - the trumpeter, Terence Blanchard.
The album earned a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental in 2001 - precisely twenty years after Jumpinâ Jive. Pop???! (They mightâve been having a JT heavy metal award moment, I think!) Not symphonic either itâs been argued, with only ten instruments, although it IS symphonic in structure.
Divided into four parts, this is the âLast Movementâ, or âVariationsâ â

I am familiar with John Coolidge Adams (opera Nixon in China, his tape loops and electronic music) not Luther. I will definitely check him out Ruby! Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm listening right now to a great young composer from my country (Brazil), he's very talented and this song sums up so f*** good what I am feeling these days. Anyway, here it is:

2001: A Space Odyssey, original MGM soundtrack, on CBS, 2009 version. It includes compositions by Ligeti, R. Strauss, J. Strauss and Kachaturian, which, prior to the fim, would not have been performed together. In the light of the film, it is difficult to think of them apart.
I bought it in a charity shop this morning.

Ligeti is great! I got my Space Odyssey album in a discount bin years ago, the bottom right corner was cut out of the cover,,,idiots! ..lol
