Any other 2Cellos fans out there?

I first came across them a few months back so you can imagine my surprise when they appeared in the Michael Jackson tribute episode of Glee last week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik46441kFtk

Anyway their version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is incredible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS826PwLHdQ

Here's a link to their Youtube page. http://www.youtube.com/us...2CELLOSlive?feature=watch

And for something a little more traditional

I like all kinds of music, but especially opera, particularly Mozart. Le Nozze di Figaro RULES!

[Diogenes]

Another Nozze fan ... hot damn!

I find this piece both  and  at the same time.

[Odette]

Honnish  great taste, Mahler is sublime.  I feel like he wrote this with his wife Alma in mind.

A friend of mine suggested it for a programme we arrange for a little advent concert together (she piano, me violin). I fell in love!

[PeDe]

Oh, that is beautiful. Antonín Dvořák is one of my favourite Swashie  


but I have to say that Bedřich Smetana is my all time favourite composer. I listen to him, encouraged by my late father and this is my most favourite piece of his:


Bedrich Smetana "Vltava" (Moldau) http://youtu.be/SomQT9P1UAg  


My father explained that the composition describes the course of the Vltava, starting from the two small springs, the Cold and Warm Vltava, to the unification of both streams into a single one. You can hear it flowing through woods and meadows, by day and night. Flowing slowly and rapidly, through the whole of the Czech Republic until it disappears into the Elbe in Germany. My father knew and visited most places that the composition describes, and listening to it made him tear up and filled with pride at the same time.

Being my first classic piece I was introduced to, gives me goosbumps everytime I hear it. And being born in Prague it has a special place in my heart.

[Swashbuckler]

You are so right  (in 24h)
I loooooove the Moldau!!! It's so wonderful, perfection from the first to the last note 

[Swashbuckler]

For those who watch Vampire Diaries (and everybody else): The last track of season 3 - amazing song!!

Listening to my very favorite Soprano of all time, Montserrat Caballe, of Spain.



Yes, she is the one that did the Barcelona album with Freddie Mercury, who called her the greatest soprano in the world (which was not hyperbole).

This woman's voice clears the cobwebs out of my mind and refreshes my soul.
