Curse you, Blitz!

And, thanks for the link, t.stuart. Jaques Loussier is great, and I didn't know this performance. Love it.

Did you recognise the piano riff starting at 3.35? It comes from another Loussier tune, Pulsion. Dr Dre ripped it off for Eminem's The Marshal Mathers LP. They settled out of court when Loussier sued them for $10 million!  Smiley

Nope. Will listen to it again and try to recognize it.

Just thought trolling could perhaps be a little more musical at times...

Thanks for the great links!

Quick, post more links, before Blitz ends our little classical music party...

(Heifetz is already is already quite old in that one, maybe not hitting all notes quite as precise as when he was younger. Still, it's my favorite recording of the Chaconne, particularly from around 4:40 onwards)

Very nice video. I am not such a fan of the violin but when you watch and hear technique like that I find it can take over any personal preference of instrument.

Still Bach, but a light version (too light some might say!):

I love the bassist accompanying Jacques Loussier. A musician called Vincent Charbonnier, who sadly had to give up performance after very serious health problems. Annoyingly the sound is slightly out of synch with the video but it's still great to watch.

I speculate that it is all over now.

This has been confirmed artistically:

Bastard. Now I'm positively sad. (not the claim about Bitcoin, because of the song I mean)

Nice version with vocals here (Barbara Hendricks)
