The first notes and a soft "Oh". Only at the second listening, the love of music and the use of the great masters is clear. The performers go very emotional about the issue. It pays to listen to more and more accurate.

Today I must admit that I was not a fan of Richard Strauss. The opera Elektra depth nor the friendship with the composer. AFM by the fortuitous but gets another side by chance presented. Said title has deeply touched me in his musicianship and harmony. The presentation by the Vienna Philharmonic enhanced attention. I am amazed at the flexibility of the composer and advise anyone this music perfectly.

Wonderfull ! :)
Janine Jansen is the most awarded actual violist in the Dutch community. International fame.
She is with all her heart into music, and has many international colleagues that like to join her.
Her personal style is like very deeply enliving it herself, while performing. Very precisely playing, from the finest tender details up to intensive stormy war-like emotions.
Janine often leads chamber-concerts, has gained a special position in it.
Her collection of experiences is large, not bound to one composer or type of music.
The information on her website speaks for itself :

Thanks Ave ! :)

Based on Barber's "Adagio for Strings" ~ this choral version appears, on hearing, to have been done by a small group. I am guessing it's "The Sixteen" and they do a superb job of it, with exquisite modulations, intonation, and phrasing. Although it lacks some of the drama which the climax can demonstrate when sung with more volume, the group achieves the same effect by their use of subtlety.

Es gibt für diese Art der Musik und deren Interpretation keinen gerechten Wertmassstab. Ständig stelle ich fest es gibt immer noch Steigerungen. Ich finde die Zusammenstellung der Musiktitel einfach nur schön.
Danke auch an Jeric wenn wir auch über den klassischen
Rahmen nicht einer Meinung sind.
Es macht trotzdem Spass zuzuhören.

Alexander Scriabin - Symphony No. 3 The Divine Poem / Poem Of Ecstasy

Scriabin's "Divine Poem" |

This extended composition beautifully reveals the ecstatic nature of the composer, particularly in this interpretation by Igor Golovschin and fellow musicians.
Golovschin, unlike other interpreters of Scriabin, extends the emotional impact of the "Divine Poem" by taking a more meditative pace for the tempi than conductors have on other recordings I am familiar with.

This is done at breakneck speed, which is flashy but goes beyond the listener's ability to hear the syncopated rhythms in the percussion section as well as among the other instruments. I could not make out the conductor's name, but prefer a more reasonable tempo.
