the new world symphony

[sephirothtx]

ooh i luv the new world symphony, did that my sophmore (?) year in HS
just bought The Black Swan movie soundtrack, a re-imagining of the original scores as well as some new ones, a bit too repetitive, i mean that main "Exciting" theme played way too often, but i still enjoyed it, i like dark symphonic music

Negative Love~John Donne


I NEVER stoop'd so low, as they
Which on an eye, cheek, lip, can prey ;
Seldom to them which soar no higher
Than virtue, or the mind to admire.
For sense and understanding may
Know what gives fuel to their fire ;
My love, though silly, is more brave ;
For may I miss, whene'er I crave,
If I know yet what I would have.
If that be simply perfectest,
Which can by no way be express'd
But negatives, my love is so.
To all, which all love, I say no.
If any who deciphers best,
What we know not—ourselves—can know,
Let him teach me that nothing. This
As yet my ease and comfort is,
Though I speed not, I cannot miss.

O mio babbino caro

Don't know if opera is classical, my comprehensive school education didn't teach me that.

How about piano sonatas?

I find Joseph Haydn's sonatas very beautiful. I use to really love all things Haydn. mile: I'm kind of rediscovering some things I thought I'd left behind.

A favorite piece is Piano Sonata No.59/Hob. XVI 49, especially the second movement: Adagio e cantabile. The sonata linked is performed by Alfred Brendel.

Haydn Sonata No.59, Hob. XVI 49 - 1. Allegro


Haydn Sonata No.59, Hob. XVI 49 - 2. Adagio e cantabile


Haydn Sonata No.59, Hob. XVI 49 - 3. Finale Tempo di minuetto
