      I play that in the background in each of my team meetings. No shit.

      Next time, try this:

        For other Democratic Socialist music, the Ponchobo Electonic Ensemble can be listened to.

          If you're a Sting fan, take a listen to this. Many re-recorded songs ("Desert Rose" is quite different).

                @George-K interesting!

                I found this excerpt on YT:

                Link to video

                It's interesting to compare it with the Liszt transcription:

                Link to video

                I think I prefer the Liszt variant slightly. Overall, I must say, though, that, at least in the finale of the 9th, they fail to convince me relative to the orchestral version.

                  @Klaus I've listened to that recording countless times. However, I never followed the score.

                  Gives me a new appreciation for all thing things that are going on.

                  And how freakishly difficult it must be to play. All. Those. Octaves.

                    Speaking of transcriptions...

                    As I mentioned, I'm reading "2312," and in it there's a description of a concert in which one of the pieces performed was a four-hand version of the Beethoven Grosse Fuge. They even mentioned the opus number: 134.

                    I had no idea this thing existed, but, there you have it. Beethoven himself transcribed it for four hands:

                    Oh, and speaking of speaking of transcriptions, my first encounter with Peter Serkin was a recording I purchased in 1972 (?) of him playing Beethoven's Op. 61(a) - the piano version of the violin concerto.

                      Since we're doing piano, I recently rediscovered this album on Amazon music - it accompanies my dog walks. I just love this guy's playing.

                        Thanks for that. I just added it to my library. He's got quite the discography!

                        This is a bit more than half...

                          Early Bud Powell is amazing. As he got older, it was less good - he suffered a lot from mental illness, back when the treatment was rather unsophisticated. A very sad life - he died in 1966 at the age of 41 from a combination of TB and alcoholism.

                                    If you didn't know it was Joni Mitchell, you'd never guess.

                                    I always preferred her version to the saccharine Judy Collins version. I also prefer this recording to Collins'.

                                        A wonderful recording of, probably my favorite of Sibelius' symphonies.

                                        The second movement is just wonderful. Go to about 4:30 and listen to how well he brings out the pizzicato of the strings as counterpoint to the main melody.

                                        I've said this is the perfect "Winter Symphony," even more than the Tchaikovsky 4th.
