Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 2,087 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 There is a magic to music, well played ... It is not for nothing that King David sang and played harp before the Altar! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ozark Shark 385 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Loved that. The blend of those two instruments is magical. Here's my favorite jazz version: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,274 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 1,567 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bgavin 1,567 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 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 1,809 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 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!" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
