Bach's music

Bach is nice.


Chevalier de Saint-George is nice too:


Thread: Chevalier de Saint-George, the "Black Mozart". Amazing classical music composer from the 18th century.

Love Bach...

"to the glory of god"

Famous Brazilian musician Baden Powell de Aquino plays "Jesus bleibet meine Freude", from Johann Sebastian Bach, in the acoustic guitar:

went to a 2 day concert of the Fugues and Preludes, was incredible

like Pablo Casal's playing of the Cello solos very much

this is really nice,
:thankyou rose:

The Prelude in A minor is great...


This is the famous Brazilian musician Baden Powell de Aquino playing the Prelude in A minor in the acoustic guitar:

The recording is not very good.

Better to listen with just half of the volume, instead of the full volume, to avoid distortions in the recording.

I kinda think the Baroque period will be recalled as the ONLY period of civilisation during this era of man.

Awesome...TY, OPie et al!!!!!!!

Bach was the rocker of classical, no doubt about it.

Bach is said to have devoted all his music to the Glory of God.

Bach is one of the Greatest, but there are others at least close to the same league, IMO. Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, and others. Bach's organ music is spectacular.

Not to forget that amazing black man, Chevalier de Saint-George, a great composer...

though, for whatever reason, water responds only to mocart with beautiful shapes.

Holy Jebus! An intelligent thread on GPL?
Please tell me this isn't some terrible troll piss taking.
There is an American radio station broadcasting nothing but the works of J S Bach 24/7 on the internet.
My web radio is welded to that station.

How can anyone mention Bach and not include "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"?

I especially like the Music Animation Machine rendition:

I can't believe I've never heard that before. What an upbeat melodic tune.

Thanks for sharing.

Ton Koopman is a wonderful conductor - have you ever seen him in action? Here he is playing the fugue in G minor - classic!

If that's true I don't doubt it. I personally will not pass through a single day without listening to something that Mozart composed. He is perfection.

If Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wasn't a composer, he'd probably be in an insane asylem ... He is a pope amongst, cardinals .... (listening to real music, is religion

=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Just read his biography--quite the man!

Sunday Morning Baroque is a nationally syndicated show that can be found on most of your local (city) classical stations. Plays from 8am-12pm Sunday mornings.

For those without formal introduction to classical music, the show provides a good groundwork for the popular baroque composers and works as well as quite a few obscure composers that (like garage bands of today) had something to offer but weren't as popular as the big names that received funding to commission works by royalty.

Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Vivaldi...yes, all greats, but they are simply the tip of the iceburg when it came to music from that era.

Nice! I prefer this one, though (from the Brandenburg concertos, I mean):



Sometimes I start moving as if I were dancing dance or techno music, when I listen to this piece! :-D

That was quite lovely, thanks! I will definitely be listening to more of this.

I play it for the kiddies every Halloween. They Love it!

Great choice AC10823255!
