Walton's Symphony Nr. 1

[joggerjayne]

Just picked up the August BBC Music magazine ...

... with a free copy of Walton's Symphony Nr. 1

I don't think I know it.

The accompanying notes describe it as "desolate" ...

... but "tinged with sensuousness".

Should I bin it ?

Listen to it first... it might change your life...

...or give you a headache...

Either way it'll be 'an experience'...

[joggerjayne]

What am I listening for ?

[sn�gs]

'Desolation tinged with Sensuousness' according to the accompanying notes...

[Oh-that-hurt]

Oi JJ get back to CB and bring your effing seagull with you as whiffey is about on there and he needs his head pooped on

[joggerjayne]

That's what I like about AnswerBank ...

Enthusiastic music lovers, inspiring you to listen through a piece of music with which you are unfamiliar.



I think I might bin it.

Or let Daddy have it.

No, he'll have it, I should think.



I could chuck it in the car.



Love,
Seagull

''I think I might bin it''

I would... sounds sh!te...

I was just trying to be being 'open minded'...

[joggerjayne]

snags ...

It does sound a bit sh!te.



Love,
Seagull

[sn�gs]

Which you would've never known unless you'd listened to it...

I'm sure your Dad will hate it too...

:-)

[joggerjayne]

snags ...

I haven't listened to it.

I mean ... it sounds sh!te from the description.

I'm not sure that I'm really into "desolate" music.



Love,
Seagull

[sn�gs]

Ok... before you bin it...

Get out on your balcony and reflect the sun off it into the eyes of unsuspecting drivers...

[Naomicorlett]

That's naughty snags. But it made me snort (in a sensuous way.)

[sn�gs]

''(in a sensuous way.)''

Err... how exactly lol...

[joggerjayne]

The sensuousness comes from the disc itself ...

... as the accompanying notes say.

Who writes that cr@p ?

Oh ... over my glass of vino I have just turned to page 54 ...

"The best recordings of Schoenberg's Pelleas and Melisande"

Bwaaah Haaaah Haaaah Haaaaah Haaaaaaaaa !!

How can anyone make a good recording of ANYTHING by Schoenberg !!??



Aaahhh ... this is nice wine.



Love,
Seagull

[joggerjayne]

It's quite nice here in Music, isn't it.

Quite ... chilled out.

^ Carnival of the Animals, led by a baboon.

[joggerjayne]

Tomborine ... that was Mahler, not Walton.

Whiffey ... I think Verklarte Nacht is morose ...

... what, with that and "desolate" for Walton's 1st ...

... it's getting a bit gloomy.

Seagull
