I am completely drunk off of music. Especially Mozart's Mass in C minor conducted by Leonard Bernstein.
The feel of it is remarkable. It just sends... bolts of electricity, joy, sunlight and dizziness through my blood.
The there is the 3rd part of Brahm's Requiem with its sweet baritone in German
There is something quite special about baritones singing in German.
The there is Fate Folly Fall by Yoko Kanno with its sweet vocals and violin lines and shades of red, the notes feel extradinarily like silk. I drown in that piece of music and also Omega Blue, technology and soul. It's vocals, computerized sound and violins....

I'm still enjoying that Netscape radio you introduced me to. [Wink]

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

Excellent
Which stations?

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

O Fortuna- drunk is the perfect word to describe it.

My incredibly cultured friends got me Carmina Burana for my birthday. I am ever so grateful to them [Smile]

P.S. But I still take just as much joy in cranking Shakira's Pies Descalzos album

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Carmina Burana is one of THE most amazing and powerful works of music ever written. I think I'm addicted to it.

ODE TO JOY!!!

Greatest piece of music created by Man.

Mozart was better in general, imo, but OtJ blows everything else out of the water.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I love the banjo/yodel version of Ode to Joy that you hear in Raising Arizona.

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

Ode to joy can chase me out of the deepest, darkest depression.
It makes me drunk, dizzy and HIGH.
Just THINKING about the Ode to Joy and humming it fills me with GLEE and RAPTURE.

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

I have Ode to Joy in German, it's wonderful!

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Yes, Ode to Joy is amazing.

<walks off humming>

THANKS!

I wish I could experience what you're feeling, but I only get the barest corner of it, and that only after a long while...

Posted by figgurat (Member # 6839) on :

Ry,

When stuck in a corner, I recommend shadow-boxing. Highly.

Rhapsody in Blue does it for me.

So does Mozart's Requiem, Beethoven's 9th and 5th (all of them), Schubert's Ave Maria, among others

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Chaeron, I second the Requiem. That, after Carmina Burana and the Messiah, beats 'em all!

Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmoninoff

I really am going to leave the house
But Dmitri Hvorotovsky is so cool.
