Warrigal, I have a new pair of headphones and an extension audio cable coming in the post to replace passed ones…if I may.
Some years ago I owned a lovely pair of Sony headphones, which were stolen. Not to be defeated, I bought another pair. Years later the neighbour chap over the road asked if he could borrow them. He came back over full of apologies in a few weeks. His smallest child had got his hands on them, put them securely on his ears, sat down on the floor alongside one of these poorly positioned electric power points installed low on walls/skirting boards, and shoved the beautiful connector plug on the headphone’s attached cable deep into the power point. KABOOM! The retort shocked my neighbour (his wife at work) to run to the relevant part of their home to determine the nature of the explosion. His child seated on the floor turned to look at his father his eyes so wide he appeared shocked senseless. His father wondered what the prognosis might be.
Mea culpa. I insisted I was relieved the child survived and not to replace the headphones, that the responsibility was mine as well. On an odd occasion the memory of the beauty of the set creeps into my memory. I couldn’t for the life of me until now get over the hurdle in my mind of how much money I had outlayed as it was on two pair of the same top quality headphones. Sack cloth and ashes.

Good to see Aaron Copland in the mix. I think he’s my favourite American composer. He wrote ‘Fanfare for the Common Man’ which we’ve probably all heard.
Top list Warrigal, nice to have you back.
Pink drinks all round, thanks Merv.

I think Fanfare for the Common Man’s most notable performance is perhaps that by Emerson Lake and Palmer… I might have a look for it a bit later…
Interesting list Warrigal… and it’s great to see you back on form… But it may take me a while to get my head around the notion that Shostokovitch and Rimsky-Korsakov are ‘blues’ composers’…

Well Waz, that just shows why you’re the master and I’m merely the apprentice. I think I’ve heard one of these. What a statement, I don’t think I’ve seen a list like this before here. A suprise.
I’ve listened to a few, It might take a while. One of the joys here is what we share, Most of this I’d probably wouldn’t normally listen to but as you’ve shared this I will. Thanks as always.

alge, don’t be so modest, your selections were good as were Hung’s, people’s tastes vary, it’s good to have all kinds.
Don’t stop alge, we can do more of everything here at pigs.
I wish that Warrigal would also write something for us piglets, he’s talented in many areas ,just like Anthony Burgess. 🙂

I wasn’t trying to be modest, Helvi, This selection is not one I’d be capable of as the music genre isn’t one I’m familiar with. With Waz being away for a couple of months I was happy to fill the breach. This selection says to me “I’m back” and I’m sure we’ll all agree we’re all glad you are.
I look at music in a different way to Waz and which is true of any of us. My series looking at popular music and to a lesser extent television of the seventies was something I go a lot of joy from and from the response I know it was well received.
Friday is Wazs gig, I’m working at filling the gaps when his selection is not available and have started on some lists for future use.

Yes, don’t demean you valiant efforts Algy.
After all, if you watch Warrigal prancing around in that blue tunic (Burgess’s Shakespeare ballet), you might, justifiably, find some solace, in your diligent efforts 😉

The shakespeare ballet was the only one I know. Yes I see what you mean about the tunic.
I wasn’t relying to demean my efforts, it was more to praise Waz for his. There will be more to come from time to time.

I’m clearly not too embarrassed to say that I have never listened to ANY of these pieces before, Waz, but today was a serious work rationalising the tip known laughingly as my office – so I could step through them in peace. About half way through so far.
I was reminded that I have some difficulty connecting with Carl Vine, but I enjoyed Yvonne Minton, Bax, Rimsky Korsakov’s Scherazade and like Jules, Waltons Spitfire Prelude so far.
Many thanks for a new opportunity !

Wow, there’s a lot here. I like the aeroplanes with the Walton Spitfire. I have Gorécki.
It will take a while. Just played Copeland. Interesting: a gay communist ?
To do this selection justice, I will have to tune in to two in the morning. I can’t cope, with highbrow stuff without concentrating–to do it justice.

I like Henryk Gorecki’s sorrowful songs…something very Polish, but I suppose all sadness is really universal…
I will listen to the others later on, it’s still raining here, so a perfect day for sad music 🙂
Anthony Burgess is a very talented man.
Anyhow this beats Barbara Streisand any day, just one way of saying that I’m no Babara fan…: )

How a Cuban composer can have such a typical Dutch name(Leo Brouwer), might have something to do with some generation ago. Holland had some colonies in the West Indies, including Suriname and the Antillen Islands including the still Dutch run tourist island of Curacau. Then there also was the Dutch Guiana at the Northern peak of South America. Perhaps Leo Brouwer’s name is somehow connected with that bit of history and included a Dutch great, great, great grandfather roaming around that part of the world. Who knows?
The first written reference to the region was in a 1599 map, drawn by Flemish cartographer Jodocus Hondius. Beginning in 1600, the colonies were settled by Dutch colonists, most of whom came from the province of Zeeland. Trading posts were established near various rivers, including the Pomeroon, Essequibo, Berbice, and Suriname rivers. Many small commercial establishments, mostly bartering posts, were founded.
