What music are you listening to?

Maisie

I'm quite in to classical music lately and have also got in to the Inspector Morse TV series and I found this Inspector Morse CD and have been listening to it. 

Right now I'm listening to the theme song which I think is a beautiful piece of music.

I've had it on repeat for most of the day.

  • On the classical music side of things, I keep being drawn back to Glenn Gould's 1981 piano recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Gould (Canadian, 1932–1982) was likely Autistic and he is really, really into his Bach. I adore the way you can hear him humming along as he plays. It always brings a smile to my face (though, apparently the sound engineers weren't smiling and just wanted him to shut the hell up).

    Classical music was one of my special interests for a few years either side of the millennium. I would research and collect CDs and listen for a few hours every day. I don't so much now, but I did learn to appreciate the music quite deeply and I'll never lose that, which is nice.

    Georg Solti's recording of Schubert's 9th symphony with the VPO was probably my "Aha!" moment. I finally grasped the whole "emotional communication" thing and heard everything else differently after that.

    Happy days...

    I've seen Endeavour but I didn't know about Lewis so thanks for that I'll see if it's in ITV to watch. I actually watched Endeavour first and that's how I found out about Inspector Morse. I wasn't interested in Morse then at first, I didn't think it would be any good but it's quickly becoming a favourite series for me. 

    I knew about the morse code thing but I've no idea how to do that lmao so I always have to wait until the end for the killers to be revealed Laughing

  • The composer of the Morse TV theme song (Barrington Pheloung - Australian-born composer based in the UK), I believe also wrote the music for the follow-up TV series "Lewis" and prequel "Endeavour".  If those two series are new to you - you might enjoy those too.

    Spoiler alert (if you know morse code): Pheloung incorporated Morse code into the Morse TV series theme tune (also occasionally spelling out a killer's name / clue in the music using Morse Code.
