I don't think you seem to have any understanding of Vaughan Williams' Work whatsoever. It is pratically all based on or inspired by folk music! There are so many folk features to be found here, pentatonicism, simple melody and harmony, a subject matter of rural landscape. By saying it isn't a fol...

You know what, I have lots of American friends. Most Americans are funny and considerate people. But you are the reason that people hate America!

In the "Americans are not stupid" video, middle aged mature adults were mostly asked and responded ridiculously to the questions. In this video you have mainly harrassed old pensioners and young children. The question at the end is sometimes used as a brain teaser to catch people out and so the f...

I'm not sure if words can describe how beautiful this is! What a treat for the ears!

James Galway is an absolute legend! I'm so excited that I just met him here in Northern Ireland, I got his autograph too!

The Giants Causeway is the most beautiful place in Britain without a doubt. Anyone who says otherwise simply can't recognise beauty. You should see it at sunset!

This piece fills me with such pride to be British. Patriotic and beautiful. Often, when I listen to this, tears come to my eyes!

Wow, she is outstanding!

Beautiful, such a shame that Butterworth died so young, the amazing potential that he had can be heard very clearly in this piece.

Alright, I was wrong, my brother certainly could not perform this piece. I suppose we all have different tastes in music and what could be beautiful to me could be horrible to someone else and vice versa. So I've decided never to criticise something that I don't know much about again.

The skill needed to play this is huge! An amazing work from Chopin and a brilliant performance from Yundi Li

John Williams is a master of scoring films. And I must say that to me this is the most poignant of all his pieces, a true depiction of the horrors commited at the hands of the Nazi's.

Also, excellent work from Itzhak Perlman who's virtuoso performance came off splendidly in the film which was a m...

Holst has captured Jupiter very well in this piece. Ofcourse, Jupiter is the largest of the planets and this is recognised in this piece as it is more flamboyant and grand compared to the other pieces from the planets suite.

I love this music, so full of energy and anger! The Montagues and the capulets at war. A masterpiece!

We must remember what music is all about. It is about moving people and changing their emotions. That is what Elgar has done.

Music is the art of the soul.

I love this piece, full of energy!

I had to learn this piece for my grade 8. Beautiful, I love it

Why is she a genius again, sorry?

"It's a great ambassador for chestnuts," the child at the start said. I think that was exceptionally funny, I really enjoyed the program and the fact that they all showed off a bit didn't bother me at all. Michael was so posh, it was just funny, but that kid Dante was annoying I have to admit, it...

Suprisingly, I can never recall hearing this piece on violin before. It's beautiful though!

I love 1:35 it is my favourite bit of the piece, the chords are very emotional and the piano accompniament is fluid and expressive.

Music is without a doubt, the most effective of the arts as it touches ...

I love classical music but I do not like Mozart. His compositions are easy on the ear and very impressive for someone of his age yet they lack emotion.

Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis is beautiful, but it is NOT for a school orchestra. This is very good for a school orchestra, don't get me wrong, but these students obviously lack the maturity needed to pull of a believable performance of the best British work of all time.

A nice try but too...

Wow, this piece sounds horrific when it is transposed to a lower key to make it easier to play. A fair attempt but really not for a school orchestra.

My ears hurt

This piece is lovely. I love the African sounding vocals and drumbeats. It is very unique but I feel it is extremely uplifting.
