I heard the cd recording sucks but the video on Sony rawks (can watch on Youtube).

BTW I've spotted some few Rock Corner branches that do sell KILLER classical cds once found regularly in Towers like Deutsche Grammophon (DG) titles, Phillips classics, EMI etc especially in Subang Parade and 1Utama.

One of my fav. classic music is Canon in C minor

Rock corner is cheaper? if not then you can find them at Tower records Lot 10, more collection is available there .

Yeah but Towers very little new stocks. Some surprises once in a while like a Mozart Requeim for SACD (Harnoncourt conducts) selling at RM 49.90 which is waffak cheap.

You buy SACD? you have hifi stereo?

If you guys like Karajan,

No but I'm planning to keep a few until a get a kickass home theatre system. Nowadays I no more buy cds, just download.

Btw save up your cash and watch the two Mahler concerts. Most epic MPO concerts since the Alpine symphony!

Anyone going to DPM tomorrow, for the Vienna performance?

There's also another Jap anime full of classical musics besides Nodame, La Corda D'Oro.

For those Hitchcock fans, this is what u guys have been waiting for!

"Psycho" with Orchestra!
Experience one of the most fabulous examples of menace in music as Kevin Field drives the MPO through Bernard Hermann’s outstanding score for Hitchcock’s 1960 horror movie complete with its famous screeching violins. Hitchcock said that “33% of the effect of Psycho was in the music" and, with the movie screened as the MPO play, expect 100% thrills.

MPO

might not related with classical, but its play with cello, very awsome!!

better cross fingers. Heard lot of players are preparing audition some other orchestras.

Have just listen to this in DFP just now...
Very very nice!!

Nice.... If you like that, then try this: Shenmue Orchesta Version



Then again, I'm more of a soundtrack guy than classical music.

Others...

[ OP - FULL ] OST 01 Juuni kokki / The Twelve Kingdoms [CD 1] - Juuni Genmukyoku (Full Version)


[CD 4] OST 01 Juuni kokki / The Twelve Kingdoms - Kuni～Touhou Reiin ( Traditional Version )

Well known traditional music though not so "orchestral", but love the way it was put together and played.
