We're playing this in orchestra right now, and it's great to hear a really good group play it =)

[Sinfoniette]

Might as well check Paray and Ormandy's rendition while youre at it. Those two, along this, are considered the greatest recordings.

Wonderful, really wonderful. I just took a step outside of Opera, and here I found this! Never thought I'd found a Saint-Saens piece that I love more than le Cygne

[Sinfoniette]

We're complete opposites! I'm trying to step INTO opera.  :) And yes, this is a great piece; a very robust finale.

P.S. Could you please recommend me an opera and a DVD I should buy? I saw Verdi's Aida, Bizet's Pearl Fishers, and R. Strauss' Elektra. Could you recommend any more? Thanks.

[Metafalk]

Anything Verdi is great for Opera introduction, but I personally reccomend La Traviata, it's light and dynamic and the Arias are beautiful. Puccini is heavier and more dramatic, if you're into that kind of stuff I'd reccomend Madama Butterfly or La Boheme. If you're into lighter and more comical storyline, then Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman is a good one. I'll send you some youtube samples later, okay?

[Sinfoniette]

Thank you very much.

@hughslayer If you don't want people giving shit to you about your comment, THEN DON'T POST THE COMMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE! By posing a comment like yours, you are ironically asking for shit.

I especially love this music in a great movie from 1922 called Nosferatu

This piece is beautiful. Currently playing it for the international youth philarmonic , playing 2nd horn , can't beat it, just got to keep your counting right , going from 9/4 to 6/4 then to 3/2 isn't exactly the easiest of things :')

I have this programme for this symphony.

Alonso Quijano is inspired by the romances of chivalry he reads to become the ultimate knight errant, Don Quijote.

He has many adventures, some quite painful, but he never loses his spirit. He gains a great prize, a pig herders' horn which he thinks is the Oliphant of Rolland the Brave. He goes to El Toboso, and both he and Sancho salute the country girl Aldonza Lorenzo as ...
