The Great Composers-One for you Musicman!

(1/6) > >>

Ninny:
I have been listening to a cd I got in the mail several months ago. It was a free sample of "The Great Composers" This one is Mozart.
My 2 year old grandson used to listen to this when he napped at my house when the cd got to the second piece on the cd his eyes would fill with tears and he would cry. I knew the first selection on the cd was The Marriage of Figaro, but didn't know what the second one was, never bothered to look! :-\

This was back before he had the brain tumor removed. After the tumor I decided that somehow that one song made his head hurt or something... ???

I just put that cd on my laptop and listened to it, the second piece is a very moving piece called Clarinet Concerto in B Flat Major. I don't know much about classical music, but wow! That piece of music is very moving! I looked for it on You Tube to share with all of you, but there is no quality rendition of it there, that I could find. I thought maybe Musicman may know where there is a link so you can listen to it. I know Musicman appreciates the great composers so how about it? Musicman can you comment or can you find us a good link where everyone can listen? ???
Hope you get to listen to this!
In Love,
Kathy ;)

That concerto is a standard.  It's OK.  Mozart is great and is the foundation for my favorites who came later.  If you want to hear something great though, check out Mozart's Requiem.  Now, obviously His Requiem was not intended to be written for him but he died right before he completed it.  It became his Requiem.  There are excerpts of it played in the movie "Amadeus" (no, Salieri did not kill Mozart).  Anyway, I have performed this work three times and I believe it is Mozart's greatest work.

Beloved:
This is not Mozart but still it is a great rendition

Ninny:
Thanks Beloved that is really beautiful!
Musicman, I didn't know that it was a standard! :D It is very nice, though I will listen to Requiem. There is one on this cd called Requiem aeternam, is that it? I said I don't know a lot about classical music although I do love most of it. Thanks for that info. I'd love to hear you play someday. :D
I thought that concerto might be something commonly played because there were some people playing it on YouTube.
I think we all need to listen to these beautiful pieces it just gives us a lot of appreciation for the finer things, you know? :D
Hugs!

Just so you all know, i have to watch Little Einsteins when my 3 year old Granddaughter is here.
So i now can actually talk classical music since the entire show is interlaced with just that.

george. ;D
