And now for something completely different

Ran across this on Youtube and was blown away.

I'm a big JSB fan. I would never have considered these instruments being appropriate for this work. Despite the stereotyping of this piece, it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

That was pretty great. I enjoyed it and pined it so I can enjoy it again. Thanks for posting.

Hey Hound. Amazing performance. Trying to share it with my musical daughter. Thanks.

Thank-you. Enjoyed it, immensely. I'm a huge Classical fan. My parents had classical music playing all the time in our home as we were growing up. They had a huge LP collection and encouraged us to listen and play the records as much as possible.They would sit down with us and explain the various pieces and the lives of the various composers and conductors. They were no purists, though. They fully supported us as we explored other genres of music. Their philosophy was that all music was a gift.

Very nice but my favorite is still Rhapsody In Blue, Paul Whiteman who commissioned it, his orchestra and Gershwin at the piano. It was called "An Experiment In Modern Music".
