What are you Lisztening to now?

[Sorrano]

Sorrano, would it be it possible to 'burn' this piece onto a cd, say from itunes or similar?

You would need to capture it from the stream (I don't mean fishing, either ) using a program like the one highlighted. Once that is done there is nothing to prevent you from burning it to a CD. I'm not sure if iTunes would be helpful in capturing (I only use iTunes out of necessity for an iTouch so I am not too familiar with it).

This morning, Richard Strauss' Don Juan.

Ah Don Juan - it's actually the only Strauss tone poen that I really love, the others well yes they have their moments, but every note of Juan is magical.
This morning Bruckner 9 still - I don't know why but I find Bruckner a harder nut to crack than Mahler, but I'm getting there, I think!

Only recently have I warmed up at all to Don Juan, but I do love the Alpen Symphony. As for Bruckner, you cannot listen to it in the same way that you might Mahler, they are worlds apart in their concepts for the symphony. One thing I enjoy with Bruckner is listening to the changing colors and harmonies. Good luck with it.

Keep it up! You know, sometimes playing a different performance of the same work can offer a different vision. What performance do you have of the Bruckner Ninth?

[Quijote]

Bruckner: 4th Symphony, 2nd Movement.

To Philip: The radio broadcast can be saved, but it does require a program to do so. Total Recorder can do it, but it is not free. http://www.highcriteria.com/

Thanks for the link, Sorrano.

Peter, The orchestral version of Gymnopedie 1. is very nice too, but I wonder if you prefer the piano piece.

The orchestration would have been done by Debussy, which is kind of fitting, don't you think?

Debussy:
La Mer
Première Rapsodie (for clarinet and orchestra)

Notations (orchestral version)

Linde
Violin concerto op.18 (1957/’58)

[Peter]

Indeed - they were friends n'est-pas? I think both Debussy and Ravel had a great respect for Satie, it's a pity he hasn't been taken more seriously, but that might be his own fault - you try playing 'without batting an eyelid too much' or 'with your head between your hands'!

Or putting yourself in the shape of a pear. And other directions to the performer. What a man! A true eccentric, a true original! But let's not talk about half Scot, half French people anymore.
