Greetings: I'm not much into pop stuff anymore, so my recommendations are a bit different: the Fandango from Tres Piezas Espanolas by Joaquin Rodrigo, played by Andres Segovia (great piece, astonishing guitar performance to make even the Skunk turn green with envy) Rothko Chapel, by Morton Feldman (one of the most beautiful compositions of the 20th century) Form for Piano, by Stefan Wolpe (a small masterwork by a terribly overlooked composer) Concerto for Orchestra String Quartets Syringa all by Elliott Carter (I should just recommend anything by Elliott Carter) I Put A Spell On You, as recorded by Natacha Atlas (Screamin' Jay would love it...) Enta Omri, by Om Kholsoom (the Voice, none better) After The Rain, by John Coltrane (beautiful, beautiful, beautiful music) all the Budd/Eno ambient music Pli Selon Pli, by Pierre Boulez (my all-time favorite piece by PB) O Virga Mediatrix O Tu Suavissima Virga O Virdissima Virga all by Hildegard von Bingen, all ravishingly beautiful just about anything by Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Thelonius Monk, Charlie Parker... The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines, by Joni Mitchell (well, really it's Jaco's tune, but Joni sang it) all of Aja, by Steely Dan (well, they *are* pretty good, and ya just gotta love a band that would name itself after a Bill Burroughs reference to a dildo...) Pony Blues, Down The Dirt Road, and High Water Everywhere, by Charlie Patton (real blues) anything by Howlin' Wolf, Skip James, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, JB Lenoir, Magic Sam... (more real blues) I suppose that reveals what I like to listen for in music... :-) Best, dp Jan Depner wrote:

Greetings: Yes, De Falla's work is wonderful too. His homage to Debussy is one of the finest solos for the classical guitar, a brief two-page masterpiece. The guitar transcriptions of various piano pieces by Albeniz and Granados are fantastic too. Best, dp kurtz wrote:

Because his most famous concerto(?) is the Aranjuez concerto and the theme of it is actually a melody played by bells on this huge central clock every noon in the town of Aranjuez... BTW, perhaps I was not paying attention but I _think_ nobody mentioned SPK, Throbbing Gristle, Francis Dhomont... ./MiS

Kronos Quartet's recording of his 1st and 2nd quartets is great: http://www.kronosquartet.org/records/indiv.php?id=146 as is everything they have ever done, in my experience. I was first exposed to them in 5th grade by a nun who happened to know Joan Jeanrenaud. When I was in high school they were performing nearby and my band director's wife heard they were looking for a school to visit. They played in our band room and talked to us for close to 2 hours. A few years ago I got to hear them perform Steve Reich's Triple Concerto ... I get shivers just thinking about that. Any way ... I like this disk: Arvo Part, Henryk Gorecki, Galina Ustvolskaya: Solo Piano Works David Arden http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001SIC/102-5874444-399133… some other Gorecki disks I own and love ... These are available on one disk: Miserere Op44; Amen Op35 And these on another: Kleines Requiem für Eine Polka (Little Requiem for a Polka), Op. 66 (1993) Concerto for Harpsichord & String Orchestra, Op. 40 (1980) Good Night, Op. 63 (1990) I can't think of more Arvo Part ... I know I have some more, but can't think of titles right now. Man ... just thinking of this music motivates me to get my studio finished so I have a decent listening room. -- Eric Dantan Rzewnicki | Systems Engineer I Technical Operations Division | Radio Free Asia 2025 M Street, NW | Washington, DC 20036 | 202-530-4900 CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION This e-mail message is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.

I like many, many styles of music. From blues to rockabilly, from pop to modern rock'n'roll, from jazz to classical music. From inexperienced indie artists to veteran artists who master their instruments. You just got to have a feel in it and I'll like it. To me it's not about the ability to play the instrument perfectly or fast - you can have a lot of emotion and feel in it even if you're an average player. It's got to come from soul. Favourite artists: Elvis, The Beatles, U2, Oasis, Depeche Mode, Bruce Springsteen, Brian Setzer. On Wed, 2005-01-12 at 10:29 -0600, Jan Depner wrote:
