Barenboim is great...just search youtube and start watching from the top. Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart...he plays them all...beautifully.
Not exactly a symphony, but beautifully performed. Thank you.
Look, I’ve been in a quandary as to what best musical term to use as overall general description to use for my daily YouTube music post. Would You have any suugestions, please?
I didn’t know you were posting music daily. Do you have a ping list? Unless it’s Tom Petty and the Noisemakers, put me on the list, please.
I just started doing it the other day, to test the reaction, get feedback. Strictly, opera, classical music, musical greats like Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, others. When I get the kinks out I will let you know.Some early 50’s. Certainly nothing from the 90s and beyond.
I can never get enough of opportunities to enjoy world-class pieces of music.

we have a Symphony of the Day??
The “Pantomime” from this piece is one of the most lovely bits ever - I still remember the time I first heard it years ago when the Philadelphia Orchestra used to play its summer concerts at the old Robin Hood Dell outdoor center - I think Stokowski was conducting - a warm, quiet evening just at twilight - the old days when the orchestra members dressed formally in white jackets and dresses and the whole stage was brilliant with spotlights and their outfits - and midway through El Amor Brujo the languorous, rocking rhythm of the Pantomime began, and then the sound of the solo cello (I think Lorne Monroe was cellist back then) playing that gorgeous melody and soaring into the night - totally unexpected, mesmerizing, unforgettable, but thanks for reminding me......

Any music that’s Baroque
Makes me want to croak
“Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Bach and Handel
Do not ever light my candle
Hadyn makes me search for cover
I’m a Romantic-era-composer lover
Spare me Bruckner and the Ring
And Mahler...spare me everything
An occasional Strauss or Lehar waltz?
Yes, the soul at times doth crave some schmaltz!

Good one!
