Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 There is a magic to music, well played ... It is not for nothing that King David sang and played harp before the Altar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Shark Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Loved that. The blend of those two instruments is magical. Here's my favorite jazz version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Nor my sort of music at all, but I can really get behind the skill and talent in this video. Two of those instruments I've never seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lady is playing a bandura, which I believe is unique to Ukraine . The other oddity is an electo conrta-bass. Over the past few years I've posted several bandura videos.

bgavin Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Joe, If you have a taste for the big organ and Bach, the Tocatta and Fugue in F Major (BWV 540) is well worth a listen. Helmut Walcha does a pretty good rendition of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmut Walcha does a pretty good rendition of this one. It is likely my favorite "classical" instrument. I'll give it... Oh, what the heck, you have me curious: AH! That bit of music hall dogrel!! Yes, I've heard it before, love it. But, like with most music, I usually can't remember the name or the composer. Thanks for the reminder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Scuttlebutt says Bach wrote D Minor as a keyboard test... it does hit almost all the notes. I like the build-up in F Major.. that winds up to a grand finish. The above version (IMO) is played too fast... and loses the horsepower of the slower pace. When I was a teen... (1967) I had a Nonesuch vinyl recording of both. I played it endlessly... alas that edition is long out of print. I've never found an artist (so far) that plays either piece with the intensity of the Nonesuch recordings. These works really require the foot pedals... I lost my big Hammond and pedals in a divorce, and never had another one since. My portable Hammond (one manual, no pedals) just can't do justice to this music.

Trailrider #896 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 When I heard the first part, I was waitin' to see Count Dracula rising up from his coffin! "Is that 'Old Dog Tray' You know, Stephen Stinkin' Foster?" or is that a nocturn, "You know, Frederick XXXXX Chopin!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
