The Carlo Curley Classic Collection

[technocrash09]

Virgil haters beware, lest someone askes to see some of YOUR greatness. He was more legendary than any of you bafoons could ever hope to be.............and I am quite sure his legendary student Carlo would tell you the same thing.

peace

[pendy81]

What is the title of the first piece please?

[carlocurley]

Marche Militaire/Franz Schubert

[Nuker1337]

@pendy81 Turkish march by Beethoven. Not the military march.

[edolch]

I agree with joeyboi87. I really didn't like Virgil

[Sinatra70]

Well, then you might be surprised to learn that Carlo was actually a student of Virgil's.

[edolch]

Yes that is suprising...apparently he has done much better than his teacher! I really think he is much better than Virgil.

[Brandotuomikoski]

I really disagree. Carlo is great but NOT NEARLY as good as Virgil. Virgil was an organist that we will never come by again. HE WAS THE KING OF THE ORGAN! He played so gracefully and powerful. he was a Protige

[edolch]

I totally disagree. Not only was Virgil most definately not "king of the organ", but his playing was anything but graceful. He was a showman and his playing was about the show. He killed (KILLED!!!) SO many pieces. I really didn't and still don't like Virgil.

[Brandotuomikoski]

He could play music on the organ that no one on the planet can play. he was a protege. he was a king. he was a legiond. he can not be replaced

[edolch]

As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't need replaced. He holds a very important part to the history or the world of organists, but shouldn't be replaced. Should we replace Widor? So good damn thing he can't be replaced, but I will not call him king or say he could play pieces that nobody else on the planet could.

[BeFrSc]

true, he was a good player, but the style of his playing was no wear near the beauty of todays players, i've heard him play Liszt's Ad nos. Ad Salutarem Undam, and I had to turn it off, it was to fast, and to showey offey.

[bachprofessore]

Virgil was an entertainer, nothing more. There's no feeling behind his recordings!

[irkibby]

how many times on this collection does Carlo Curley go "whooooo"? Not enough times i suspect.

I went to see him at Hull City Hall and he was bloody fantastic.

[9828htfer]

what is the music called after Trumpet and Air Tune? timing 2.27

[Principaal]

Toccata from the fifth symphony by Charles-Marie Widor. Its way to famous for its own good. All bad organists play it (not talking about C.C. of course).

Hope I could help you,

yours,

Leo

[9828htfer]

Thanks!! yes thats the one I meant :D I agree its far too well known, so much so that I didn't know it's name!!

Happy New Year,

David

[joeyboi87]

I prefer this guy a lot more than that old demented clown Virgil Fox

[totallyamused]

He's a chip off the old block...I miss Virgil.

5 stars as always.
