    Prokofiev made that "iron and steel" symphony (#2) in my last post, but he was quite versatile. His symphony #2 was as different as night to day. I generally don't care for Ormandy's conducting of Romantic or Modern 'classical' works, but I think he does this one justice, probably because Prokofiev wrote what he though Hayden would write in the 20th century.

     

    @ Notes,

    thank you for the good hinds towards  classic music.

    Have to admit that I don´t feel "at home" in classical music, but the Prokofiev Symphony´s (specially the Nr.1)

    are a good chance to go deeper listening this kind of music-

    which is , forgive me if it sounds harsh, effortful to listen for an  old rock fart 😀 like me.

    It takes a lot of time,patience and concentration to get rid of my listening habits.

    I hope you are doing well

    Pete

    P.S.

    What I like most about Wes Montgomery guitar playing is his tone-

    I ´ve never listened to a more  direct guitar tone.

    It´s  a wonder  that he starts playing guitar very late(at 19 years).

     

     

     

  2. The founder of Kraftwerk with Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider-Esleben has died at the age of 73. The innovative German group that he founded and left in 2008 changed the face of music.

    Formed in the late sixties, they were precursors of kraut rock before creating a keyboard driven sound that is the base of techno, electronic, industrial, electro and hip hop.

    Without Kraftwerk it’s fair to say none of these forms of music would exist and their influence on modern music, sound sculpture, the creation of music was so far into the future that everyone is only just catching up.
