Buying orchestral music could become a dangerous addiction….
The CDs are only $10 each, so it’s far too easy to accidently walk out with 3 or 4 of them…
I picked up three today…Vivaldi (Cello concertos), Grieg (Peer Gynt and a couple of other pieces), and Brahms (Symphony number 4 and a couple of others).
The Grieg is good, like I expected it to be..though it’s sit and listen to music rather than background music. I also recognised one of the pieces in the second Peer Gynt suite – Solveig’s Song – that Chalice had a version of on their Chronicals of Dysphoria album. I guess I’d noticed that the music and lyrics were credited to Grieg & Isben, but it never really sank in..heh.
I’m currently listening to the Vivaldi as I type this…I don’t think I could ever get tired of Vivaldi’s concertos, they’re excellent for background music. Not intrusive enough to distrupt your concentration, but never boring or tiring, so it’s equally enjoyable to give them your full attention.
I haven’t listened to the Brahms yet..but I think I’m going to put the Vivaldi on repeat and go and have a bath….
hmmm…either that or Nightwish….hmmm…..Vivaldi or Nightwish, only the most important decisions here….heh
