MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

For opera lovers

I just saw "Classic 100 Opera" advertised on the ABC...looks good

Over 9 hours of music on 8 CDs, this definitive set contains Australia's favourite opera masterpieces. Australians were asked to vote for their favourite opera moment, with the result of ABC Classic FM Classic 100 Opera survey broadcast to the world over three days starting on Wednesday 29 March.

The final countdown will occur live in the Sydney Opera House Concert culminating with the live performance of the Top 5 opera moments.....

It was an interesting read going through this thread - the variety and richness of tastes. Mostly modern and coming mainly from US, UK and Aussie sources. My own tastes (when I was actively collecting) was for folk music from Spain, France, Andean, Roumanian, Japanese, Russian. Special favourites were Gypsy music - Spanish and Russian. Couldn't get my hands on Hungarian & Roumanian gypsy stuff. There is also the African music which is fascinating and so different to the "developed world's" music. Must be the wild and primitive man in me to love this more basic type of music.


Bizet's Pearl Fishers seems to be a very popular choice, though I prefer his Carmen for its fire and gamut of feelings. Placido Domingo (not Paul Keating) seems to be forum's favourite, though I personally preferred the Swedish tenor Jussi Bjorling's rendition of Pearl Fisher arias.

Thanks for that, Wayne. Interesting to see "Porgy and Bess" included as opera.

Was married recently and had a classical rendition of Pachabel's Canon in D played by a harp and flute.

When trawling the internet today i found this amazing "electrified" version of Canon in D.

Very well worth a look and this kid is talented!

Here is a historic Scottish song about the " Battle of Otterbourne " in 1388. Written as it is in old English/Scottish translation.

Here is a drinkers song, you may recognise it.

[ghotib]

The Spooky Men's Chorale cd "Tooled Up"

http://www.spookymen.com.au/

16 boofy blokes singing "Am I Not Pretty Enough" is truly memorable

 

[noirua]

This is one song I always come back to " clementine ", not my favourite song, that's for later. A "Forty Niner" is many an immigrant who flocked to California in the 1849 gold rush.

Another little favourite of mine, lest we forget the suffering at Botany Bay.

[3 veiws of a secret]

RE : Bagpipes ....... perhaps at tangents with this topic,I remember some army officer telling me at the local pub called Tudor Rose in Upnor , Kent UK ,that the bagpipes where listed as a psychological weapon!
I never had the balls to ask him whether it was the 'Bagpipes' or the fact that the army where attacking in 'kilts' .
What am I listening too???.....Miles Davis ....Warner Bros unreleased live tapes>CDR....magical quality!

I like Metalica, ACDC and Stryper

I moved on from Metallica some years ago after sharing an office with a DJ who presented a metal show. That was it, it got into my subconcious and wormed its way out from there.. Do any other value investors listen to metal?

Opeth
Dark Tranquility
Amorphis
Slayer
Devin Townshend
Kreator
Pantera
Ministry

hi Folks
Yeah PCH i'm a bit of a metaller. Got to say, I like a bit of Mudvanye and sometimes a dose of Cannibal corpse . Rammstein is always good to get the neighbours going. But I do like a good Kiwi band called 8ft sativa .
Some pretty good stuff there
All Metal is , is just rock that some of you older folk were getting grief for when you were younger .It's just rocks harder .

Cheers martin
