Okay.dancing sounds good on a cold day with a bright fire
i'd have to go look up any links, and when i go look i get sidetracked like just now - having been stolen by some ave marias and freddy mercury
i learn more about classical music here on this forum than i ever knew - and i still only know what moves me when i hear it.
Okay.
I'm just glad you have ears, now.
You're not a purist, right? So you can listen to adulterated modern things?
Nothing short of amazing.watch his hands flow like water over the keys, silk over rock...

Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli
Andrea is blind.
incredible - i could watch his hands without even listening to the music and my mind might still conjure itNothing short of amazing.
Remember Rachel?
shut ya face - wtf do you mean about cutting in? silly moo. going to listen to your linky right now, and handing you this in the meantime... a little bit o' freddyIn defense of opera, I will admit that it is disturbing, but also such a lovely way to marvel at what humans can do with only their lungs and throats. And by the end, you have the sense that we could accomplish anything if we spent more of our time communicating in beautiful shrieks and powerful rumbles. That's fun.
Beat me, beat me! Mozart does BDSM (the video is poor quality, but Kathleen Battle makes me shiver).
I'm sorry to cut in! Don't worry - I will be dragged to hell by a statue forthwith.

Jesus-making-a-ham-sandwich, do I ever love Freddie. You know how to get to me, sweet buttertart. BARTHELONA!
And this is Rachel. She's a star.

oh noes, don't be scornin' meThat was very cool.
But I'm afraid you've just turned an early music thread into a Queen thread.
Do you feel guilty about that? It's a serious board offense to divert a thread. Nobody gets banned, but they might be scorned.
Which is... actually... worse.
No worries, 'cause Queen rules.oh noes, don't be scornin' me
guilty? let me think about that for a moment newp

amp, booster and hand-built guitar?No worries, 'cause Queen rules.
Do you know why nobody can get the same guitar sound as Brian May?
No, because he hand-wound his guitar pickups.amp, booster and hand-built guitar?![]()
No, because he hand-wound his guitar pickups.
I mean, he actually wound them by hand himself.
His guitar sound cannot be replicated.

But opera is the music AND the stage.
We get that now, but there was no such thing then. It was a great new invention.
And... how could you think you were intruding? Especially in a thread of mine... like... c'mon. Let's just stop talking like that.
And I totally agree with the basis of your post. But honestly, this isn't the 1970's anymore. That means that rainbows and unicorns are off the table. The best we're likely to get is a pearl from an oyster...

I like the video. But it brings to mind a line from Battlestar Galactica: "Humanity never asked itself why it deserved to survive — maybe you don't."
