Such is my classical mood today that I couldn't leave without sharing such a profoundly solemn, glorious and sublimely epic piece by my immortal beloved genius. Just very few conductors could (or can today) interpret its grandeur like the awesome W.Furtwangler:
"Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth. ". Ludwig van Beethoven
Gilberto Gil - s/t
^Well, I suggest you as well Caetano Veloso - s/t if you haven't heard it yet, my favourite by far amongst all MPB music.

Some intriguing listening, including some surprisingly good stuff from Perth.
My biggest dream that never comes true... This mind blowing masterpiece heard at a majestic theatre and conducted by an awesome interpreter w/ a great Orchestra!.. Literally the bursting out of the strongest emotions this mind resetting work of art could render....

Looking forward to my day in court.
I love the 4 Brahms Symphonies, the 4th being my favorite. I have seen it performed by The Chicago Symphony Orchestra at "Symphony Center" (formerly "Orchestra Hall") in Chicago. Not a majestic theater, but not bad at all... and a great orchestra! My dad (R.I.P.) was a member for 31 years, but this was after he retired.Originally Posted by Rick Robson

Hey No Pride what a lucky man you are! I guess that it was one of your most awesome musical experience that you'll cherish forever... And certainly your father had so many great historical facts to tell you from the classical world, and I suppose very few manage to be for so much time in such a great orchestra!
The W.Furtwangler '49 recording of the four Brahms symphonies is the next I'm looking forward to purchasing, I have never listened yet to his first (believe it or not), and just recently listened to his second - and BUMP! Love at "the first sight".
Formerly I would say the 4th was my fave, today I'm no longer sure of this. Man, Classical Music has this magic , you never know till when you'll be amazed by some new discovery, even within the same piece

Sundown dazzling day
Gold through my eyes
But my eyes turned within
Only see
Starless and bible black
Ice blue silver sky
Fades into grey
To a grey hope that oh years to be
Starless and bible black
Old friend charity
Cruel twisted smile
And the smile signals emptiness
For me
Starless and bible black ....
Didn't recognize the drummer, but a bit of googling revealed his identity: Nic France. He's followed in Marshall's footsteps before, having played for one of the later incarnations of Nucleus, and has an extensive resume.
