Mozart was neither here not there as far as Baroque and Classic music, he was both i believe

That's probably how he got so unique

For anyone in the US who likes opera, do check out the Met Opera live stream to theaters all over. There have been several good ones this season, and Tosca is coming up in the Spring

On Sat, Jan 29 Rigoletto is playing. It's streaming in a town nearby, I'm planning on it. It doesn't have the same impact a live performance has, but still worth going.

Live in HD: Rigoletto on the Big Screen

On January 29, “a compelling new Rigoletto” (The New York Times) appears in movie theaters around the world in a riveting new staging by acclaimed director Bartlett Sher. Recently named a Critic’s Pick and hailed as “a detailed, dramatic staging, full of insights into the characters” by The New York Times, the production features the “incandescent performances” (Wall Street Journal) of eminent Verdian baritone Quinn Kelsey, who brings his searing portrayal of the title role to the Met for the first time, and soprano Rosa Feola as his innocent daughter Gilda. Tenor Piotr Beczała rounds out the principal cast as the lascivious Duke of Mantua, with leading maestro Daniele Rustioni on the podium.

Not Classical music -- not even in the colloquial 'Classical Music' genre -- but I would nevertheless like to share this musical gem on this thread. Such a unique song. Not that such matters, but I still very much enjoy the TV series this was the theme song for.

Atheists beware, this setting of the Trisaion Hymm by Georgy Sviridov will destroy your belief that there isn't a deep spiritual realm beyond your 3D world.

The composer is David Fanshawe. The song is 'Flambards', which is the theme to the 1979 Yorkshire Television series Flambards.

Was listening to The Planets recently, Jupiter is my fav from the suite.

Gustav Holst's The Planets suite is extraordinary.

I may have mentioned this years ago on the Forums, but the Jupiter melody was implemented into Leonard Rosenman's score in Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings. The song: Mithrandir (Gandalf).

Hi Malisa. I just found this thread, and have not looked at/through it. The ‘reply to thread’ button doesn’t work for me, but the ‘reply’ does. So just posting my fav classical work here, hope you don’t mind. Beethoven’s Opus 120, his winning variations on Diabelli’s prize challenge.

Watched an interesting vid breaking it down, but here is what I know and like and have more recently jammed to on my XL- electric stringed smaller-body acoustic guitar. I don’t know music near bragworthy, but IMO this suits you, much respect to you per your recent self explanatory posts. Cheers from here, - John

The great classical music treasure on the internet for me is the Bach Netherland's Societies project to record every note that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote, and to do so with excellent musical performers, on instruments Bach would have used and in that style. It covers the whole gamut of Bach: Harpsicord, Organ, Vocal a capella, his Protestant cantatas and his "Catholic" mass settings, sonatas for flute, cello, violin and much more. It would be hard to reduce this huge library of works to just a few "best" but here are some of my favorites:

This is so beautiful! I attended this opera in 1994. Leo Delibes, Lakme.

The Flower Duet (Lakmé)" - Léo Delibes

Love peace and joy to all!

**Franny** · 13th February 2022 05:01

Oh yes, the Flower Duet is lovely Thank you, haven't heard it in a while 😊

When in high school, after a tough day, I would put on the headphones, lay on the floor and listen to Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor several times on a 33 rpm. Just set it to repeat. Wonderful.

This is one of the other beautiful soprano operatic arias from Puccini, sung by Kiri Te Kanawa:
