Clair de Lune

[Patch]

Is there a more perfect piece of music to listen to with the lights dimmed, a glass of red in your hand and a warm fire?

That is a beautiful piece too. Good shout.

Well I'm sitting here in a nice warm room with a glass of Cassillero and ive got The Clash on

Also Beethoven's own moonlight. And Schubert's Ständchen. There's a lot of very relaxing music from the romantic era. Try listening to Evensong on radio 3.

Those 2 lasses look like someone I'd have a bit crack with in the local pub. Absolutely top class talent, anyone know if they were the original singers? (probably a stupid question like)

All based on classical music mate

And why not, we all have our push buttons. I just love listening to gentle music as the rest of the house has gone to bed.

It's a song by a French composer, in an opera set in India, but British Airways used it in their adverts. You couldn't make it up.

I loved moonlight sonata until that prick Bruno did it in Fame (the series); I still like it but my enjoyment is dimished.

There are literally millions of interpretations. Stick with the one you like.

To be honest, I do still love it; I just wanted to place a clear marker, distancing myself from the Kids from Fame (probably not necessary).

I'm sorry but I don't. I think Delibes was late 19th/early 20th century. He wrote a famous pizzicato called Sylvia.

A compilation of last night at the proms with an addition of Evening hymn and sunset.

FFSM, have you stole my identity? What about Corcovado?

I will check this out (off work tomorrow).

Did anybody else listen to Christmas around Europe on Sunday? Download it if you didn't.

On the Astrud front, a friend at work loaned me a three disk Antonio Carlos Jobim collection and it was a real eye opener to the wonders of bossa nova.

Strings are probably the best way to listen to music.
From something like this.

To this.

Magical.
