<< Bolero by Ravel

Anybody else heard it? It's long, but an excellent piece.... >>



The question is has anyone not heard Ravel's Bolero? It's a timeless classic. I liked it since the first time I heard it as a little youngin. My parents would wear out the phonograph playing it. Hmm wonder if anyone remembers phonographs? Hey and I'm not that old either. >>



WOW! I'm glad there's someone else that appreciates classical music...I'm pretty much sure there's very few of us. I love classical music and have a decent collection, but I've heard very few pieces by Ravel. Can u suggest some of your personal favorites?

Regarding phonographs. I had a player, but it's not working now :( . I've preserved my collection of those LP discs though. Maybe someday I'll manage to find a player and convert those, and burn them to a CD. My parents too used to listen a lot to those LPs, and their needles would wear off, discs would get scratched, etc. Those things really required a lot of maintenance and care.... :)

I'm listening to the sax soli of an original Big Band composition of mine called "1:15". Its in midi, because I"m working on it in Finale 2001. It sucks, so I'm reharmonzing it in the style of Sammy Nestico. I have to turn in the full score and parts tomorrow for my Jazz Arranging II class. Long night ahead...............

I'm not really a huge classical fan. I like some classical pieces but its really not my favorite style of music. I just like to listen to it sometimes when I'm in the mood (not very often). My favorite style of music is like that of the Cocteau Twins song that I mentioned earlier. Alternative? Ethereal? Not sure what it is called, it probably deserves a category of its own anyway.

I have not heard any works by Ravel other than Bolero, so sorry can't help you there though I can link to a website that lists his works:
Ravel's works by name

I do have another favorite classical piece I heard once and it was a violin concerto, though I never did get the name of it or who it was performed by. I'm still searching for that one and when I find out I will let you know, you really should hear this if you're a classical fan. I never really liked violin much at all until I heard this. It is that good. :D
