Hi! Wow great site

The reason I writing into this site is because I need help

I'm looking for a music called the Hungarian Suicide Song.

It is written in the 1930 (I think by a Polish composer), and supposedly has a cursed attached to it.

It is both VERY sad and beautiful

If anyone know this music, do you know if there is a CD I can buy with this music on it

Also, if anyone is interested, Telarc has a colection of classic music called Chiller, fill with classical music that is more on a "weird" vibe (eg Night on Bald Mountain, Hall of the Mountain King from Peer Gynt and my favorite, Funeral March of a marionette [Alfred Hitchcock Theme song]) Very nice recording (especially if you have a good set of speakers)

On a lighter note, anyone looking forward to Disney rereleasing Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 next year on DVD and Blu-Ray

Keep up the good work people

Hi Tan_Pang

Wow, the main man (am assume, sorry if I got it wrong) himself!!

*I'm NOT worthy! I'M NOT WORTHY*

It's okay, after putting that on the forum, did a google search and found it on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloomy_Sunday

you've said it wiki

It's actually called Gloomy Sunday

Now to locate a cd...

After reading the forum, had look thru my classic cd collection and made 2 discovers

1) I actually got a number of them!!?

2) I don't have Stausse Blue Danube.... *Weird*

Thanks for the pointer (Giuseppe Tartini - Devil's Trill Sonata)

Keep up the good work!

I have never been a big fan of MPO, even their ticket counter sales seems to think Ang Moh is better than Malaysian. Ironic, it is called Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra...

Tchaikovsky Ballet Suites (Swan Lake ● The Sleeping Beauty ● The Nutcracker)
Wiener Philharmoniker
KARAJAN

I've always known KARAJAN as an exceptional conducted.

I also know he is best known for his Beethoven work.

Much to my surprise, he also is quite well received for Tchaikovsky and had made 4 recorded works by Tchaikovsky on 4 separate occasions...

Supposedly, Karajan championed work of less known composers during the span of his career.

Karajan was also very familiar with Wiener Philharmoniker and this Bluray Audio is a compilation of the following recordings:

Swan Lake 1965
The Sleeping Beauty 1965
The Nutcracker 1962

I do no have much material (CD) to compare with this Bluray Audio.

I do have the soundtrack to Fantasia (1940) by Leopold Stokowski & The Philadelphia Orchestra and have to add it is a very unfair comparison.

Again like the other reviews I have done before, the beauty of the bluray audio is in the small sounds. The Triangle and percussion instruments all came out beautifully!!

Karajan's work is very different compared to Leopold Stokowski.

Leopold Stokowski's version lacking a better term is more... "romaticise" (I believe this could be persuaded by Walt Disney), while Karajan's version is more Urgent, determine and "brutal" (not a bad thing).

For the list of tracks for this bluray audio disc, please goto: Tchaikovsky's Ballet Suites

Again, I had chosen the Dolby TrueHD audio option.

I really like this bluray disc.

If you like Classical Music, give this a try why don't you.

Got this from Rock Corner, Bangsar Village, last week.

It has been quite some time since I have gotten a guitar classical album.

Had intended to get this on the bluray audio format, and for some odd reason, although this has been advertise as been release on bluray audio, Universal Malaysia had not gotten it in.

Being a fan of John MacLaughlin (by the way I have his Remember Shakti album on order) and John William's (the guitarist, not the conductor) I have to say this guy is pretty good.

I especially like tracks

1. Piazzolla - Libertango
5. Gardel - Por una cabeza (if you are old enough to remember the tango scene from James Cameron/Arnold Schwarzenegger's True Lies)

There is a down side to this album though. Because guitar instrument was design to be use in a chamber music environment, I have ripped this album to my thumbdrive (.wav files) Driving long distance, I can hardly hear his playing...

I have also purchased his latest album Aranjuez and have to add had not had the chance to listen to that yet.

Will keep youse posted.

Cheers.

I'M IN LOVE!!!

Unlike other performers in the classic music industry (Lang Lang [pianist], David Garret [violinist], Cameron Carpenter [organist {whom I want to smash his face in!!!!?! - Figuratively}]), his performance is very earnest! And in this day and age, that is rare indeed.

What do I mean, from a skill point, it is very obvious he can be more "flashy" and to his credit, he shows restrain, because of his respect towards the piece his is performing, which does not call for him to be "flashy" (I am looking at you Lang Lang). A true sign of a master to be!! Kudos!!

I love this album so much that now I have to have his first album (I only have his second [which I have reviewed a couple of page back and third [this album])

CD shops, here I come.
