Thanks. I'll put it on again later, I'd like to say with a Lagavullin, but it will have to be a Talisker or a Laphroig. Lagavullin has gone out of my range. CheersNice anecdote. I love failed jazz musicians, they see to understand much of the world.

Sounds much better on vinyl though. Listening much to this.

Classical, Beethoven's ninth, Ode to Joy, gets me every time.

Careful - he didn't even write the good bit apparently!Allegri - Miserere Mei, Deus
Nic, did Bach write the toccata and fugue in D and Albinoni his Adagio?Careful - he didn't even write the good bit apparently!
I don't think key works exactly apart from in the minds of the general public. Even those musicians who think BWV 565 is Bach would be unlikely to go as far as to say it's great Bach. It's just rightly popular (I play it fairly regularly as I'm sure you do). As for "Albinoni's Adagio" it's a mid 20th century fake as you know (many a disappointed light classical enthusiast has listened to actual Albinoni with confusion).Nic, did Bach write the toccata and fugue in D and Albinoni his Adagio?
Key-works for these composers but having a doubtful origin!
The slow movement in particular - absolutely sublime.Op 132.
My chakras were once over excited by this piece. It was a performance at the RFH with Gatti conducting the RFO. In the second movement during the slow orchestral build up to the chorus' entry with 'Den allies Fleisch, es ist wie Gras', a tingling sensation started at the base of my spine, slowly travelled up my spine, over my head and slowly down to my toes. No - it wasn't 'that' type of experience, but it was the most visceral physiological response to a piece of music I've ever had.Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem. Ethereally beautiful. Karajan's 1964 account would be with me on my desert island.
