  • In Soviet Russia, music plays YOU!

  • I am curious as to the psychology of those folks who.....and there are always a few of them....find a breathtaking performance like this and post a "dislike" on it. If they hate Rimsky-Korsakov why are they here? It's like a particularly ugly form of trolling, verging on vandalism.

  • Bravo Elena!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Some one shoot the trombonist. Waaaay out of balance. Otherwise a nice reading. The solo violinist was outstanding.

  • @Imragnar1

    The sun gives me headaches and I don't like sand, it gets stuck to everything. I wouldn't mind the money, though. This piece, on the other hand, is amazing.

  • Awesome. I've been trying to find this particular set of music 00:45 - 01:40 for weeks. Anybody know how or where I can find it by itself?

  • @jeddak5 There are always some weirdos that you can't please no matter what! They would probably complain if they had 1 million dollars, the Sun was shining and they were on a nice warm sandy beach under a blue sky!

  • @Arangutang > Perhaps it's also in the systems we are listening to it through. I WOULD prefer to hear it performed LIVE! I do appreciate how you feel about it... and great works deserve the best performances and sound equipment on both ends. Still and all, it is BEAUTIFUL and sounds better than it did on the monaural player we had in 1954, and even then it was... ahhhh ; )

  • Ok. We can't infer "openness" because (I venture) being "open" requires some degree of initial "receptivity" to a piece of music where no judgment exists, or if pre-judgment pertains there must be a "willingness" to reconsider. "Closedness" we can take to be a lack of willing and/or receptivity. When it comes to assessing this in the context of the dislike bar we are stalled by an absence of information (unlike comments), we can only imagine. So are you going to imagine the worst or the best?

  • @Beaudereck that's the best way of looking at it. The dislike bar is provided to evaluate a video (i.e. music). We can't assume they've listened to it all attentively, as an "ideal, open" listener would do, perhaps, but we don't know if the dislikers pressed dislike after a cursory 2 seconds either. Furthermore, we can't accuse them of "insulting" it (we are attacking straw men). But we cannot infer they are "open" either, although I like this affective adjunct (assumes the best of people)! Best

  • This reminds me of Sibelius' Karelian suite.
