Classical Music Appreciation Thread

[papermoon.lady]

 I love classical music, and I know the Countess likes it too. Maybe there are also lurkers who like it. 🙂

Anyway, maybe some will like to post classical music here (or listen to it).

You can post opera arias, piano recitals, orchestra concerts... - anything you like. Classical music is used in its broader meaning in this thread.

Please post links rather than embedding videos because sometimes the videos won't load.

Let's start...

Luciano Pavarotti - Una furtiva lacrima/lagrima (from L'Elisir d'Amore by Gaetano Donizetti)

How beautiful! It must have been such a wonderful experience!

A rainy day again here. I am now going to listen to all the pieces you posted to brighten my day. 🙂

Is the Tallis Scholars concert next month?

[countessalmirena]

Yes, next month. !!!

[papermoon.lady]

I had a truly wonderful (even magical!) morning listening to those performances. 

I find it difficult going back to the real (?) world right now... 

[countessalmirena]

Back from tonight’s concert. The Tallis Scholars were so beautiful to listen to… It was like a knife cutting into perfection, gleaming, pure, harmonic complexity…

[papermoon.lady]

I am not surprised! I have always loved, actually adored them.

I am going out ln a few hours, but if you feel like letting us know more about their performances, it would be great. 🙂

I love this one 'The Lark Ascending' by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Also love this one 'Gabriels Oboe from the Mission' by Morricone.

Truly beautiful-Transcendance.

~Evokes emotions which dance on the scarlet thread,

~Raising spirits that blissfully ascend from the dead.

I will link the pieces when I get back. (A few appointments, but should be done by 2 or 3.)
