Lalo made many sound tracks, more than I ca remember ...
Bullit, the entire "Dirty Harry" series and, of course, the Mission Impossible score.
Besides been a very active composer of film scores, Lalo also composed some fine pieces like the one I'm listening.
Cheers,
Nilo
What's your 'desert island disc', folks? . . .
. . . the most meaningful album in your collection, the one you'd want to listen to above all others if the choice had to be narrowed down to one . Much as I admire the Stones . . . . . . adore Cat . . . . . . and worship Jimi . . . . . . the album I'd wa...
Easy one for me...
Hi Art, I can listen to this one forever. In fact, it's the only CD in the Vette Garbage with lead singer Shirley Manson from their self-titled debut album released in 1995: Shirley is one of only two females to appear in the Guitar Hero video games: And ...
By the way Art, I would have thought
Hi Art, I was surprised by your choice, I would've bet that it would be one of the Rolling Stones album. Regards, ED-209
That should give an idea as to how deeply . . .
. . . I'm swayed by Days of Future Passed , Ed. It's also an outstanding recording, and can deliver sound that literally envelopes a room in every direction. That's part of the reason why it's at the top of my list.
Too bad I didn't know you were a fan...
I ended up with an unused ticket for Garbage when they played the Palladium on October 2nd. My friend who was supposed to go got sick and had to cancel. The band was fantastic. Super tight and Shirley was ON! More importantly they were clearly glad to be ...
That would have been awesome
Hi rovermark, I would have loved to go and knew about the concert many months ago, but unfortunately had other travel plans during that day. Sounds like you really enjoyed the concert, I'm sure Shirley and the band performed well. Regards, ED-209
This is really too hard, Art!
In a world with albums like Let It Bleed, Led Zeppelin II, The White Album, and Nashville Skyline, how can I choose one?! Not to mention works from Robert Johnson, Gram Parsons, and a host of others I don't think I could live without! If pushed, right thi...
"That's the way" . . .
. . . it's supposed to be, Daos - valuable decisions should be hard to make ;-) . . .
I did a double-take . . .
. . . on that LP, Ming - can't believe that record hails from 1985! Is Run - D M C still around?
I still have that album...
It's downstairs somewhere along with some other vinyls from back in the day. Jam Master J passed away due to a gsw in '02 and stopped Run DMC as a band in his honor. Another favorite is the Star Wars soundtrack, as a kid we used to blast the theme music w...
Question at first seems
much easier than it is. When starting to search just one it becomes obvious how tough it is....after initial musings I did what I usually do when in qualm..I listen what my heart is singing.... so the one is greatest rock'n'roll requiem.... Summit of Poet...
I wonder if anyone on this forum . . .
. . . ever saw them perform. There was a patron at the Rainbow that used to show up late at night, walk into the bar, order a shot of whiskey, and ask the bartender to play LA Woman. As with so many other LA stories, this one has a sad ending. The solitar...
LA Woman
Normal 0 21 false false false HR X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 is in my mind the essence of how I perceive LA it might be wrong picture but I'm very keen on it One of bucket list things is driving down that alley with LA Woman blasting from spe...
Without access but I was listening ...
Tito & Tarantula, very nice for a cosmic traffic jam. Art, your taste matches mine. Cat/Yussuf was performing on the cable yesterday. He is older, white hair and beard, but still delivers. Cheers, Nilo
What is it . . .
. . . about female bass players . . . . . . that's so damned sexy ?! Good one, Nilo . . .
And we thought Vlad was evil????...
Dear Art, As Damjan says, this is nowhere as easy as it looks! You are blessed in knowing precisely what it is that you would want to have with you in that situation, i.e. where – [insert name of chosen deity here] forbid! – you may have only one recordin...
It was a difficult assignment, granted. I hope . . .
. . . the exercise was worth the torment, pplater. One more to share, if restricted to a single piece of music: Delius' prelude . . . . . . to Irmelin . Yours in music, Art
There can be ONLY ONE???...
Thanks for the Delius Art. An excellent choice if ‘there can be only one’. Now, if we were to be restricted to just one piece, or ‘track’, on our desert island then that would be a whole different proposition again. Using the same approach (but blowing th...
Some very nice choices, but if there can be only one...
Domenico Zipoli Adagio per oboe, cello, organo e orchestra Regards, Richard.
Couldn't agree more!!...
A great personal favourite - it would have been the first on the next list! Great to see it gets wider appreciation - usually one gets 'Who???'. Cheers, pplater.
Adagio in G Minor by Albinoni
are you sure about that dear pplater? Now that is an awesome number..the emotions are just flowering when listening to it but if one is to end his misery after too long on desert island I think that will be a song to choose while departing on the other ha...
"(Must not click! Must not click!)...
:-) :-) :-) Damjan, that is not a song to accompany the ending of one's life; that's a song to induce it!!! Cheers, pplater.
Damjan!...
When ever do wives NOT have lots to talk about??? :-) (Sorry, wives, sorry! Let the flaming begin...) Cheers, pplater.
A cornucopia of tracks . . .
. . . every one a treasure. One for the road . . . . . . the incomparable Bix Beiderbecke, playing the cornet in one of the last recordings of his life.
Narrowed down to one? You're worse than me, when it comes to Maths. :)
If one and only one... " Wish you were here " ... Pink Floyd. Or.. The Clash ' London Calling ". Two albums which tuned my childhood. Golden moments, sweet memories. Oooh My God! Best, Nicolas
That's what I was listening on the car ...
Long time without playing: Great jazz with a barroque touch, by an Argentinian composer, Lalo Schifrin. This record from is from 1966, lives on my iPod (I'm so old that I have an iPod Classic on my car!!) and I don't know where is the physical record. Jus...
Schifrin was at the height of his powers . . .
. . . when tapped to score . . . . . . Cool Hand Luke . . .
Lalo made many sound tracks, more than I ca remember ...
Bullit, the entire "Dirty Harry" series and, of course, the Mission Impossible score. Besides been a very active composer of film scores, Lalo also composed some fine pieces like the one I'm listening. Cheers, Nilo
very difficult Art which is why i'm several days late
I have very ecclectic tastes as you know which makes it even harder, but i think it would have to be another Pink Floyd concept album, Wish you were here. I was going to say 'the final cut', but that is too personal and raw for me to have as my only album...
Easy.....
My desert Island disk would be a MP3 DVD with a few hundred of my favorite songs. Ok, I know that is totally not in the spirit of the question. All of a sudden the question becomes extremely difficult. So many contenders. A few of the candidates: U2 - Ach...
Overlapping concert experience . . .
. . . with two, Pink Floyd (1994) and the Pretenders (1987). Never one to appreciate Pink Floyd, heretical as it may seem. The Pretenders are another story - they're the last band I fell for on sight . . . . . . until Joe Bonamassa came along.
Sometimes
the stars align and the elements are in their place and a stupendous performance is caught on the wing----as it was in 1955 when la scala forces with callas ,di stefano and karajan enthralled berlin with a scintillating performance of lucia di lammermoor....
"Before my time" - perhaps, but it really depends . . .
. . . on your perspective, Henry. We've had ample opportunity to experience at least one pianist - Earl Wild - who was taught by a teacher who, in turn, was taught by a student of Lizst. If you take the long view, we're only two generations removed from e...
yes
indeed,perhaps an overused cliche. we are very fortunate to have the oppurtunity to listen to some great links to the past --- arrau,cherkassky ,comes to mind--- either by way of the electronic medium or by attending concerts. unfortunately,i've never had...
I was hoping to elicit some of the less traveled . . .
. . . selections, like Veedon Fleece . . . . . . from Van Morrison, or John Barleycorn Must Die . . . . . . from Traffic, but I've got to admit having completely forgotten about Little Feat. Thanks, Dean.
