Vivaldi anyone?

One of my favorites - not so much this picker, but the Vivaldi piece.

 

Interestingly if you've seen the 1972 movie "The Cowboys" that mentions my town a bit, this is the one real bit of music discussed by the boys... Not "whoopie ti yi oh," although I tend to enjoy both.

Or, how about what a lady friend of mine does with a batch of Bach.

 

Her masters is from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory... She married a guy from where I live after they met in a Texas country-western style saloon where she'd come to visit to get more of a feel of the real thing.

 

She can rock out Jerry Lee quite well too... She's some pieces on Youtube...

 

Nina the last I heard was looking for an agent in the U.S. to set tour(s) for her Ivory Fantasy material.

Hello!

 

I prefer Judas Priest over the Red Priest. (Ok, sorry, it was a weak one).

 

Seriously: I prefer renaissance over baroque.

 

 

But, I don't want to hijack the thread. So here's a Vivaldi piece from the same performer, Dániel Benkő:

I always thought that Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op. 3 No. 2 would make for a great rock tune if done right. It really gets going at 1:41. I love playing this on piano. Someday I'll arrange a multiple guitar part for this.

Wow! You can play that on piano? I'm impressed!

 

I prefer it on piano, TBH but here's Dan Mumm again...

And Bence! I was going to post some F. Liszt but thought you should have first dibs there...

Hello Pippy!

 

Thank You for the opportunity.

My favorite Liszt opus is the Hungarian Rapsody No. 2 above. Simply, because the music perfectly recaptures what it's title suggests: our national spirit, temperament. The bitter-sweet daydreaming of a glorious past that has been long gone.

 

Sorry for being...

 

 

Cheers... Bence

It's actually not too hard to play on piano compared to something like Rhapsody in Blue. I could play it when I was about 10 years old, but it was several years later before I could play Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin was just plain nuts).

 

Dan Mumm's version is pretty cool. I like it.
