A Change Of Mood On Ab

[Bobbisox1]

What Classical piece of music can you ‘get lost’ in?
Mine is Nabucco’s Hebrew Slaves chorus

[davebro]

is that "woke" ?

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve no idea what Woke means so I guess it’s not :0)

[MargoTester]

I had this played at my Mum's funeral and want it at mine. Mum was Welsh and our local rugby club had an affiliation with a Welsh club who had a choir who always sang this. It sends shivers down my spine

[Bobbisox1]

I love hearing male voice choirs Margo and Wales is synonymous with them

[MargoTester]

We went to the Royal Albert Hall to see the 1000 Voice Welsh Choir some years ago. They were banked up either side and in front of the organ it was incredible and spine tingling

[Bobbisox1]

Something you’ll never forget Margo, same as I went last November to see Classical Spectacular at the RAH,it too was spine tingling

[Bobbisox1]

Wow Fats, love it

[pastafreak]

This...Brahms Piano Trio no 1. So hauntingly beautiful.

[Bobbisox1]

For some reason that reminds me of when I visited Auschwitz Pasta which is odd as there was no music , beautiful

[naomi24]

Puccini is my all time favourite.

I saw Nabucco in Verona, bobbi. If that Roman arena had a roof that particular section would have raised it. Glorious!

From the genius who brought you The Matrix OST.

[pastafreak]

It almost moves me to tears every time I hear it...and I've known it for about 40+ years.

[Bobbisox1]

Wow, I’d have loved that Naomi, remember you encouraged me to go to the RAH last November, I still get tingles down my spine recalling it,thank you

[Buenchico]

I can never hear Bedřich Smetana's 'Vltava', from 'Má vlast', without seeing every bend and turn of the river, and every ripple and swirl of its movement.

The most well-known recording (and the one that's always played on Classic FM) is by the excellent Prague Symphony Orchestra. However I feel that this performance, by the Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra under Nejc Bečan, is even better at capturing some of the symphonic poem's more delicate tones:

[Bobbisox1]

Like it Fats,there’s so many magical pieces out there we never get to hear

[naomi24]

My pleasure - and if you ever get the chance to go to the opera in Verona, do it. You would love it! Before Covid it was one of our regular haunts.

[Bobbisox1]

Lovely Chris,I could listen to these all day ( going out at 3 )

[Bobbisox1]

I’ll put it on my bucket list Naomi, thank youn

[pastafreak]

That's another favourite of mine, Chris.

And this...Night on Bald Mountain (thanks to Walt Disney's Fantasia when I was about 7 years old)by Mussorgsky
