I had the opportunity to go see the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 (Emperor) and it was amazing!! My favourite of his Piano Concertos.
I love Leonard Bernstein! He was so amazing and lively. He often seemed to be in his own world while conducting.
I get a total kick out of him in the videos of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performing Beethoven's Piano Concertos 1-5 with Krystian Zimerman. 
He was such a gem.
Yeah, Bernstein was very present in the '60s & '70s. I don't know if you are old enough to remember his "Young People's Concerts" on TV. So many of us of that era got our first real exposure to something other than rock or country or WWII music through his "Young People's Concerts". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_People%27s_Concerts
What I love about good classical music is that it goes somewhere, it has a destination, it has structure & design, it builds, it shines in places, it has shadows and highlights. It's like good architecture, it's the unique grand buildings of the music world. To continue the simile, so much of what is called "music" today (actually in all ages) is just tract homes, trailer parks, and project housing. Identical little cubicles stacked like cord wood, necessary for it's own reasons, but with the modern Internet it's easy to get out of the "hood" and wander in the grand spaces of the musical world. And anybody can enter.
But I did say "good classical music", because in my opinion there is a lot of old music composed by classically trained musicians that is also just bulldozer fodder after 10 years. Even the great composers produced lesser and greater works.
...I prefer to call it a "whisker of a cat", being a cat person and all.
Wow... that is such an appropriate description. Between so much of it being computer-generated and the vocals all being auto-tuned... there's hardly any 'real' music (mainstream) left from the industrialized nations.
...the Sibelius Second is one of my favourites as well. I find the D added 6th just before the final chord in the 4th movement to gives it a feeling of sweeping grandness.
...ugh I loathe that digital tuning of vocals, it sounds so bloody fake. I miss the days when real instruments like horns or strings were used in songs and singers actually needed a real voice. Now it's all digitised overprocessed synth rubbish. Crikey Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson even played real pipe organs on a couple tracks and it was cool seeing Elton John sitting at a 9' Stienway on stage.
I am going to watch some felines play in Colorado tonight. Rawr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love acoustic instruments, no electricity involved.
But to me the worst assault to my ears are those pop "singers" who seem to pretend they are opera master divas and waver around a note. My mind is screaming "it's an "A" damn it! Stop bleating around it like a drunken goat and SING IT."
And real voices. If you want to hear real voices come to Wales and listen to the fans at a Rugby match in Cardiff.

...the "godrays" coming through the opening in teh roof just make it all that much better.
...our local football club's "Army" (probably the closest in the State's to an Ultras, though not violent prone as some are) Almost feel like I'm not in the US when I go to a home match.
Yes, It's never the same when they close the roof.
This is a popular hymn that you will hear often as well (although this version is lead by professional singers)
This is one of the hymns I included for himself''s funeral, because everyone who came would know it, even the English relatives, and it was one of his favourites.
...lovely.
that wasnt so long power back! hurrying through the megagrab, no knowing what goin on neighborhood power utility
uggghhh it is getting close to eight pm and I have not started laundry.
Dizzy again. I hate vertigo.
One is blue, one is a dog.
All right. :-) Whisker of the cat then.
Can you avoid the vertigo triggers?
I can't figure out exactly what, but wow -- there is something really weird about that picture.
I've seen that picture before. That is one of those dogs that has the really loose skin! If the face wasn't showing, you'd think it was just more towels! Or a blanket!
Dana
That's what I thought. I could've sworn that dog was a huge towel, until I saw his nose.
Or Dave Brubeck from about 20' away at a small outdoor concert.
In my opinion, modern music lost it's spirit with the advent of the electric bass. Just something about watching a musician crouched over a standup base, cool-ly covering the back end of the music, cannot be replaced by a monkey with an electric prancing around like a guitarist who cannot afford two more strings.
Solar panels. Batteries will run fridge and freezer for 24 hrs, or my computers for 48. Decisions, decisions... Lights are LEDs, I could run them for a week on three D cells. But yeah, I had the generator and the propane stove ready to go. Packing them away again was a pain.
...actually saw the Brubeck quintet many many years ago at the Milwaukee Summerfest on the Jazz Stage. Cool time.
Saw this group from Chicago there as well who named themselves after their city's transit system. Loved the big fat horn sound they had. At the time I hoped they would make it big.
Shar pei puppy.
