Sincere question: WHAT is this supposed to be?

[Sinfoniette]

Another sincere question here: what do you mean?

[ipmoic]

Please post the Korngold with Heifetz and Wallenstein Sinfoniette.

Pretty Please!!

[Sinfoniette]

My comp broke down with the Heifetz set so you would have to wait for a bit..a week if short. Sorry. :(

@12rosebud12 In the immortal words of Satchmo: If you have to ask, you ain't never gonna get to know.

[DevilsInstrument]

@12rosebud12 A piece of music...and a very good one, at that.

[GGbreizh]

Great concerto, but I still prefer John Williams Violin Concerto 1.

Thanks for posting this.

@quornholio @quornholio Happy we were able to work it out without bloodshed. P.S. check out the music of Eddy Duchin, Carmen Cavallaro and one great contemporary fellow named Jon England, 3w dot jonengland dot c o m. Easy listening, no drama, and makes one feel soooo good. Loooooooong life, Young Quornholio and wisdom to live it. (Same to me I guess)

[quornholio]

@12rosebud12 Well, I'm a layman too, and as much as I love Ben Hur soundtrack, to me, his greatest music was the score to "Double Indemnity." To each his own.

[12rosebud12]

@quornholio Following your suggestion I indeed listened to the soundtrack of movie you mentionned. Would you accept my lay but nonetheless entrenched opinion that Miklos Rosza body of work simply built up towards & culminated in Ben Hur, not to be topped nor even equalled by anything he wrote before nor after? Similarly to Microsoft's shareprice in Y2K topping at 560bn market cap and descending thereafter so to speak. Long life, young QUORNHOLIO, and wisdom to live it!

@12rosebud12 Yep.

[pbaron23]

My orchestra ( Zuglói Fiharmonic orchestra from Hungary ) are alsaw playing this concerto. It is not esye to play it, but it is great music.

[quornholio]

This is not heavenly? Listen to the place the slow movement has in Billy Wilder's "The Private Lives of Sherlock Holmes," set to Genevieve Page's lovely and nubile naked body, and tell me this concerto is anything short of heavenly.

[12rosebud12]

Is this supposed to be music? Come on, we're used to really beautiful, heavenly sound from Miklos, i.e. Ben Hur, and then this pseudo something? Why do these geniuses have to play wise guys and compose artificial dissonant stuff which ain't even pleasant to the ear. Well, am I the only one to moan here?
