Gary_Yngve Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Ah yes, Apocalyptica. Cellos playing Metallica! Colin queued some up the other night. Cool stuff. I'm drifting from classical, but he also had a performer he described as "the Bob Marley from Pakistan" who was cool too. Â Lately I've been listening to Piazzolla at home and Grieg at work. Got a really cool CD of Vivaldi's Four Seasons interleaved with Piazzolla's Seasons. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_Henson Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Â Does Arkestral music count? Â wow! Once in Dayton I saw Sun Ra (actually I saw the Arkestra a number of times) and there weere only 3 of us in the audience. The band surrounded us at our table and Sun Ra looked in my eyes and said, "Give up your death to me." Freaky! Â I recorded El is a Sound of Joy on my band's first CD.

Bigtree Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 point 1: whenever i've gone looking (which has been very rarely), classical music didn't seem to be very commonly available on sharing sites - maybe u can point out a site which is better in this respect? Â Don, there's over 1400 classical download postings available here: http://www.torrentspy.com/directory/22/music/classical. Quality can be highly variable; however the price is right and leaves some money for purchasing new/shiny bits of climbing gear. Note that you'll need to obtain/install a bittorrent client such as BitComet obtained here: http://www.bitcomet.com/. Â PM me is you have any trouble. Â Cheers.

Maestro Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 define obscure? I think he meant what the general public probably hasn't heard of. It's hard to find composers that other musicians haven't at least heard their names. Anyway, this thread has been popping up since last April and I haven't weighed in on it, which is disgraceful, considering my screen name and vocation, so here we go.  Vincent Persichetti (1915-1986) one of the few "symphonic" composers who has contributed significantly to the literature for concert band.  Carlisle Floyd (b. 1926) Maestro's teacher and a major player in American opera. His best-known work is Susannah (1955). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Lately I've really dug Alan Hovhaness.  Also been on a Scandanavianish theme... the standards are Grieg and Sibelius, but there's some other cool ones out there:  Eivind Grover Carl Nielsen Einojuhani Rautavaara Harald Saeverud Peteris Vasks  There's a really cool CD of Vivaldi's Four Seasons interleaved with the lesser known Piazzolla's Four Seasons. The dovetailing of the two together is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) I'm not smart enough to know any obscure classical music. I bet that's why I didn't get into Yale. Â However, I do think that "Life is Shit" by the Dead Milkmen is especially poignant. Their bass player killed himself, so that makes them tragic, too. Â RIP buddy!

mvs Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Bartok "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste" is creepy and wonderful. The third movement with the viola and timpani theme is especially good. Â George Crumb "Ancient Voices of Children" must be heard with headphones in a dark room. Â I know it is old and not so obscure but "Dido's Lament" from Dido and Aneas by Henry Purcell is just...wow. Â Piazolla is all great. Â Nobody mentioned Elliot Carter string quartets. Those are really good, though probably the most fun if you are reading the score with the music. Â Thanks for the neat ideas on this thread! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 George Crumb? Didn't he invent the potato chip? Or is that George Crum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirp Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I love that ominous and creepy dark ambient classical from some obscure composer that is used on the Paul Padula film El Capitan. Does anyone know if that stuff is available or have any linkys? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
