десятка фаворитов с комментамиBen's Ten Favourite Tracks
This list changes depending on the weather, my tummy, the company I'm keeping, the time of day... But it has been a pleasure to do the soul searching and memory lane trips. So here goes the ten from Ben, an over privileged white kid!
1. Sweet Thing - Van Morrison, From the Astral Weeks album
Though Liam Neeson I agree anyone of the tracks of this album deserve inclusion, they all swing have soul and the poetics of the Jazztastic vocal stylings of the man when he could and can and did. But the landscape of sound and lyrics of Sweet Thing and the bitter sweet story of a man unable to give up his love of a woman...
It's perfection. As a teenager discovering it I yearned for the life experiences that could inspire such music and as a thirty-something I have to hold back the tears as old wounds are made raw again. But what a self indulgent and heavily perfumed way to grieve. Beautiful. For all who have loved and lost.
2. I Am the Resurrection and Fools Gold - Stone Roses
Yes I know, but they stand side by side on the album and are inseparably brilliant. I went to Manchester university partly on an insane surge of nostalgia from when I discovered these mischievous mancs and their Madchester ways! God bless the Happy Mondays and Joy Divison and all the other Tony Wilson 'Factory' recorded bands.
3. You Can't Always Get What You Want - Rolling Stones
First heard this in my over privileged youth at Harrow. And as posh boarding schools go you can pretty much do or get anything you want out of an experience like that. However adolescence and being without girls or the freedoms of living outside of your school meant that this inspiring hymn to patience didn't fall on deaf ears. It's just a stunning daring funky soulful uplifting one off from choral beginning to end. Anyway I don't need to tell you any of this just that it inspired my brief flirtation with being a front man.
4. Young Americans - David Bowie
How to choose one! Sorrow is my karaoke failsafe but the groove of this one and the dystopian patchwork of fractured images in the lyrics the sax solo, the drums it's just brilliant.
5. Clair de Lune -- Claude Debussey
James Rhodes' version on the Bullets and Lullabies album is best, but not available on YouTube. This is the one piano piece I would dearly like to learn in this lifetime. But if it's in the next I will be quite content to listen to my inspiring friend Mr James Rhodes playing it. PS--though nowadays a tea totaller he is pure rock and roll and you should have his playlist soon. He's more than a little inspiring.
6. How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead
The only reason for honing onto this track as opposed to any other in a back catalogue whose range defies belief is a personal one. It signifies how the best of times and the worst of times really do sidle up to one another. I first met your dear proprietor when filming a mini-series called To the Ends of The Earth for dear old Auntie (BBC) in South Africa which and I'd had the most amazing time on the job and a weekend learning to scuba dive with two other cast members -- the best of times. Then the front right tyre blew on our car, we pulled in and were surrounded by men who came out of the bush and we were carjacked -- the worst of times. A long (2.5 hours of ordeal) story but the intrinsic part for the song choice is that it was playing just before the tyre blew when I had lit a spiff and was contemplating how ridiculously blissfully happy I was. The next time I heard it was bundled against the windscreen of the car on the front passengers' knees with my back and head hitting the windscreen as we were driven off road. My bum hit the car stereo and for a few surreal minutes Tom Yorke was sound tracking me to my death. I turned round as we bounced over the sand track, the headlights showing the passing sugar cane and kept thinking of the shallow graves they dug for themselves in the movie Casino as the master of introspection and modern ennui Mr T Yorke sang 'I'm not here... This isn't happening' ... We all lived.
7. Prelude to Tristan and Isolde - Richard Wagner.
Yes, it's widely acknowledged as one of the peaks of the operatic repertory, notable for Wagner's advanced use of chromaticism, tonality, orchestral colour and harmonic suspension... But it just makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Reminds me of the best of Beethoven and Mozart and the best of what's to come in Strauss and Rachmaninov. So a milestone as well as a gut wrencher. The recording of this one that I'm currently wearing out is the BBC orchestra's.
8. Hyperballad - Bjork
But what about Mitchell, Joplin, Ella, Tina, Oh god I need another list. It's all very white and male.... ! Damn.Beautiful song though. And a nod to a lot of dance music that hasn't made it to this top ten.
9. Superstition - Stevie Wonder
For all those whose weddings I have danced at and have yet to dance at! What a great groove from a master at the height of his powers. Thanks to Martin Freeman for properly introducing me to the full brilliance of SW.
10. We Grew Up At Midnight - The Maccabees
A current album I'm giving a lot of play is The Maccabees Into the Wild. It's hard to pick one but listening to We Grew Up At Midnight while typing and feeling pretty uplifted. And that's what great music does beyond all other art forms isn't it? This has been a joy. Can I do it again tomorrow?

Справедливости ради надо сказать, он признался, что в классике он не разбирается, но именно это произведение его завораживает, что он "прекрасно и глубоко, как океан". Уверена, что если поспрашивать его сверстников, вряд ли кто-то вообще назовет хоть одно классическое произведение.
я не люблю Бетховена.
А меня он своей музыкой берет за душу голыми руками. Честно, редко слушаю классику, но Бетховен есть в моем плейлисте на айфоне. Я одно время им очень увлекалась, читала о нем, даже в Бонн ездила на специальную экскурсию. Есть такой очень хороший фильм с Гэри Олдменом "Моя бессмертная возлюбленная" . Рекомендую. Это -не подлинная история, но все равно очень познавательно и многое объясняет.
Все, конечно, от настроения зависит. Иногда хочется и бравурного, а иногда веселого легкого Штрауса. Из опер у меня любимая все же Nessun dorma:
Скачать бесплатно Дж.Пуччини, Пласидо Доминго - Ария Каллафа из оперы "Турандот" на Muzebra.com.
Nessun dorma:
В смысле ария любимая? Или вся "Турандот". Мне, пожалуй, скорее нравится, да. Но вот именно " Nessun dorma" до того растиражированная и все ее, кому ни лень, поют всегда и везде, и поэтому я ее уже не люблю. Как застольная из "Травиаты" - везде и всюду.
Кстати, вот еще. Мне нравится ария из "Искателей жемчуга!, когда ее поет Доминго. Вернее, как нравится - скорее она довольно скучная и даже нудная. Но там так высоко, что у меня всегда какой-то азарт - вот там, особенно в самом конце, вытянет он или не вытянет.
Listen or download Пласидо Доминго Искатели жемчуга for free on Prostopleer
вряд ли кто-то вообще назовет хоть одно
Экзакли! Ну тут мы уже давно определились - кладезь совершенств.
Из арий, конечно))) сорри. Верю, что надоела, поют все, кому не лень, но вот слушать хочется, только так, как услышала в первый раз ( Доминго) А "Турандот" мне вся нравится, и " Кармен."
Ну тут мы уже давно определились - кладезь совершенств.
Да! Да! Покорил меня совершенно- чем больше узнаю, тем интереснее))
Бетховена тоже не очень воспринимаю, но вот эта вещь во мне что-то водевильное задевает, особенно скрипичная партия с 1:08 )
Ну и ещё я любитель Вагнера и Шопена (как ни банально).
Ну вот из меня, канешна, тот еще разбиральщик.
Ну и ещё я любитель Вагнера и Шопена (как ни банально).
Как Стивушка. Я совсем-совсем Вагнера не люблю, ни капельки.
но вот эта вещь во мне что-то водевильное задевает
Нет. Мне все равно не понравилось. Вот правда, простите-извините.
))) забавно вы рассказываете, интересно так )
что тут говорить: в классической музыке тоже были свои идеалы) как Пушкин и Байрон в поэзии.
Мне это напоминает страдания фикописателев. Ангстер: ар-р-р-р! Вон, люди пачками пишут пушистые флаффы! все живут долго и щасливо и ниумирают вообще никада! Они делают мир лучше, чище и добрее! Что ж у меня-то все через расчлененку и кровькишки?! Флаффер: Ой ты боженьки мои, пичалька! Все-то у меня цветысирцарозовыепони, охохонюшки. Вот могут же люди - пытки, БДСЭЭМчики, изнасилования неудобными предметами. Ангстеры показывают всем, что мир - совсем не корзинка с новорожденными котяточками, почему же я так не могу-у-у.
Нет, слушать слушаю, а разбираюсь не очень-то))) Я ,признаться, Вагнера почти не знаю, но, то что слышала, тяжеловато для меня показалось. Надо познакомиться по-ближе) Шопена, это моя мама большая любительница. А я Рахманинова люблю.
