Johann Sebastian Bach Concerts Avec Plusieurs Instruments - III

17 may 09

Voto:

Ok, now the sample works. I couldn't include all 40 seconds since the maximum is 30, so I put in the most impressive part. Note that I have heard this piece performed by dozens of musicians, and it’s the first time the orchestra doesn’t slow down to give the violinist a chance to keep up with his crazy score. For example, in this otherwise excellent performance conducted by the great Claudio Abbado, you will notice that at some point the other musicians slow down a bit because that piece is really unplayable: Valetti, on the other hand, manages it. I don’t know if I’m making myself clear.

Thank you all for the kind comments. @il giustiziere: actually, I did include the sample, but you can't hear it... I don't know. I'll try again. @hymnen: I don't understand, why should I have copied it?

I haven't listened to the CD: it’s probably a good record, but 5 stars feels a bit nostalgic. In any case, I want to give it a listen because the artist definitely deserves it.

A very famous film alongside its little brother "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?", I've dreamt of seeing it for years, but I'm too lazy to rent it and I'm waiting for it to be broadcast in the afternoon on Rete 4. After reading this review, I've changed my mind: tomorrow I'm going to rent it. The mere presence of Bette Davis and especially the legendary Melanie Hamilton/Olivia de Havilland justifies watching the film. Thank you for the review!

I'll be brief: I completely agree with the reviewer, a mediocre song for a noble purpose.

I agree with the reviewer and with those who commented above in saying that they have ample room for improvement. I have been a fan of "X Factor" since the very first episode of its first season, and this year there were some great people on that stage... too bad that in the final trio there were, along with these three rockers, also a little runaway boy and the most boring of the melodic performers who, if he had been born in Scampia, would be a neo-melodic singer like many others, and yet now he is hailed as a great voice (and he even won, that annoying Morfeo Becucci). The TBSoD have a certain background in classic rock and could do a lot, now it’s important that they don’t lose their way since during the show they showed on several occasions that they are deserving (despite Maionchi's attempts to sink them with ridiculous songs like "24'000 baci"). They are worth keeping an eye on. For now, they are a 3, but I’ll give them a 4 to raise the average.

But congratulations on the choice, I didn't even know he had written fables.

Here it is, found it, and even with a not-so-imaginative interpretation of the text in which the perpetually nasty Britney worships nothing less than Satan:

Avril Lavigne Backwards

Great idea from the reviewer; if you find it, listen to "Toxic" by Britney Spears played backward, as it’s truly the masterpiece of the millennium. About Avril Lavigne: she might be a little singer for teenagers, but within her target she makes sense; probably the songs she pushed back have that sour flavor that all pushed-back songs have, so my rating doesn't change. Avril might not significantly contribute to the history of music, but she certainly doesn't contribute to destroying it either.
