Lüt Posted November 30, 2009 Penderecki - Polymorphia Performer: Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra (Matrix 5) Penderecki - De Natura Sonoris 2 Performer: Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra (Matrix 5) Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima Performer: Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra (Matrix 5) Penderecki - Symphony 1 (excerpt) Performer: ? OK, I suppose it's no secret who my favorite classical composer is :P Kubrick fans may recognize the first 2 performances from The Shining. About half that movie's music was pulled from Penderecki recordings. It's kind of amusing to think this guy was writing that kind of music as standalone compositions, without a horror movie to go along with them. [edit] Jeez, if you want a real headscrew, play all 4 videos at once O_O 0 Share this post Link to post

Lüt Posted November 30, 2009 Not to go too far off topic, but thing with film composers is that they're contract employees, so if the director insists on either using or recreating a certain pre-existing piece they think would suit the film better than any original material, the composer has to go with it. Sometimes the music is re-recorded for consistency's sake (like in Gladiator), sometimes they go through the extra paperwork hassle to use existing recordings (like most of Kubrick's movies). Most film composers don't have much say in the final music selections. 0 Share this post Link to post

DeumReaper Posted November 30, 2009 Trumpet player here -- gonna post the Hummel Trumpet Concerto (after Marsalis recorded it became a standard in classical trpt. solos, especially to perform on its original instrument, the Eb Trpt) which I'll be playing this spring. I think it is the perfect demonstration of the classical trpt sound. It was during the rehearsals of this song that I decided to be a music major; I'll be playing in a brass quintet version as well. Some of you may have heard of the Carnival of Venice solo or its reputation as a technical showpiece, well this is Allen Vizzutti's insane variations (Carnival of Venus) which may very well be one of the hardest trpt pieces ever. 2:03 is my favorite part. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted November 30, 2009 Too many videos to watch right now...I'll just post mine here. This is my all-time favorite classical piece here: And this is probably in my top 5: And then my favorite composer of all time, Dvorak: And part 2... I guess I like a lot of down-tempo stuff. Here's something more exciting, also from Dvorak: 0 Share this post Link to post

Wagner - Siegfried's funeral march... has to be the grandest, most epic piece until Conan The Barbarian soundtrack. and some patriotism, wooo! Smetana - Vltava (Moldau), the traditional opener of the Prague Spring festival though i have to admit i'd dump everything in this thread (and possibly, this world) to get to hear ecstasy of gold in a live morricone concert with susanna rigacci's soprano 0 Share this post Link to post
