accwai Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Chopin: Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 Kate Liu Seong-Jin Cho has an upcoming gig at Toronto's Koerner Hall later on in 2018, and Charles Richard-Hamelin has one in early 2019. Not so for Kate Liu unfortunately. Hopefully she'll be here some day. She look so angelic, kind of like the exact opposite of Yuja Wang... Link to comment

[...] Actually, I've been trying to avoid direct clips from Initial D. The Takumi AE86 clip was a video game reenactment. So was the GT86 clip a few days before that. The latter is likely a reference to the AE86 vs GT86 scene at the end of the 3rd New Initial D movie.

Now opening theme from the Initial D live action movie: I honestly know nothing about it other than it gets referenced in a similar way to Speed Racer in the car world. The only cultural reference, musically, I have is from the opening scene in the game that shipped with the first Playstation, Ridge Racer. Far from being a dumbed down and safe kids game. It was cinematic and engaging and screamed risky behaviors. What really hooked me was the perfect symmetry of this soft and beautiful music portraying grace and peaceful motion into this perfectly edited short story of tire shredding action told from impossible camera angles. Irreducibly far from the crude and brutish reality on full display at the regional race track. A taste of something I've been enjoying more recently. Link to comment

Irreducibly far from the crude and brutish reality on full display at the regional race track. Well the Initial D story is full of opposites like that. By the way, link below is the in car video for setting of the current electric vehicle lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcepG9Twa_8 Surprising lack of signs of crude and brutish reality for a run through the north loop in 6 min 46 sec. Not bad for a Chinese car eh Now Song of the Day: Vivaldi: Concerto Op. 3 No. 10 for 4 violins in B Minor, RV 580 Il Giardino Armonico, Giovanni Antonini A brilliant piece for use in string ensemble competition. And it's been hiding in plain sight inside Vivaldi's Op. 3 L'estro Armonico. Wow... christopher3393 and rando 1 1 Link to comment
christopher3393 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 reminiscing about the "55 Olds Delta "88 I had the priveledge of owning from "72- "74. The ride was smooth. The radio was smooth and had glowing tubes. And you could put a pinch of dried herbs in the glowing cigarette lighter...for added smoothness. semente 1 Link to comment

Oh, just found an English copy of Lu Yiwen's biography: http://www.hkco.org/en/Other-Members/Lu-Yiwen.html On 3/24/2018 at 9:46 AM, christopher3393 said: [...] "Albert Camus once wrote ‘when I describe what the catastrophe of modern man looks like, music comes into my mind – the music of Gustav Mahler’. If asked to specify a particular work, it is quite possible that Camus would have proposed Symphony No. 6 in A minor – the symphony that Bruno Walter claimed portrayed ‘a terrifying, hopeless darkness, without a human sound’." That's nothing. Get a load of this: Anton Webern: Variations for piano, Op. 27 Glenn Gould The informative video below might provide some useful background: Anton von Webern, explained in 10 minutes christopher3393 1 Link to comment
