SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS AT TBP – The Burning Platform

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
Anthony Aaron and Steve C.

Steve C / Classical Music Mafia: Here is the image of “The Classic Music Gangsters”, a whimsical and imaginative group of classical musicians with a playful gangster twist. The scene is set in an old-fashioned music hall with a rich, vintage decor, where the musicians perform in stylish gangster attire from the 1920s. The atmosphere is mysterious yet sophisticated, capturing the unique blend of classical music and a light-hearted gangster theme. – aka.attrition

Every Sunday morning we present a selection for our TBP family to enjoy.

We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.

Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may be straying a bit, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.

We will give tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light and fun, aimed at a younger audience. These pieces will be pointed out as such, and can be a great way to introduce children to a world of music that they may not have been exposed to or may consider old and ‘stuffy’.

A full symphony is as long as it lasts. We don’t want to keep a symphony short. However, we do have a number of shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes. You can listen to each piece and hopefully you will find one or more that you like.

We hope you enjoy our Sunday selections.

The Muppet Show – 403: Shields & Yarnell – “Take a Chance on Me” (1979)

I don’t know why my little self finds this appropriate, but here it is. I think I remember sharing this. Such a shame.

This one comes a little later than expected, but it was made possible thanks to Tigger.

ABBA – Happy New Year

It’s not the right time of year, but I love the song.

Many thanks to both of you for your efforts.

This comes to us thanks to BL

Shaboozey – A Bar Song (Tipsy)

Look guys, I would HIGHLY choose ABBA “Dancing Queen” from 1980 over the spectacle of dancing queens in Paris. At least ABBA had real girls singing, you never know these days.

I’m not a country music fan and I don’t know what’s growing out of this guy’s head, but give it a try… you’ll be surprised that he’s the one singing this song.

This one came about thanks to James.

SOS

You really owe me one, it hurts me mentally to even encourage this madness!

Don’t mention it!

Keith Jarrett Sun Bear Concerts – Osaka

As you may have noticed over the months I’ve been here, I have some very favorite artists… and Keith Jarrett is probably at the top of that list.

His ‘Sun Bear Concerts’ was a series of 5 concerts in Japan in 1976 and was released in 1978 on the ECM label.

From the ECM website: Sun Bear Concerts – documenting five complete solo performances by Keith Jarrett in Japan – stands as a landmark in the history of jazz recording. As Down Beat wrote on the occasion of its original release, Jarrett’s improvisations “are the inventions of a giant, overwhelmingly intimate in the way they can draw in and hold a listener. Jarrett has once again entered the cavern of his creative consciousness and unearthed music of surprising power, majesty and warmth.” Rich in incident and detail, the music … revealed Jarrett as a player of boundless creativity, unique in his ability to find new forms in the moment, night after night. “These marathons revealed Jarrett to be one of the greatest improvisers in jazz,” wrote Ian Carr in his biography of the pianist, “with a seemingly endless supply of rhythmic and melodic ideas, one of the most brilliant pianistic techniques of all, and a capacity for projecting complex and profound feelings.”

Part 2

Picnic at hanging rock – ‘Doina Sus Pe Culmea Dealului’

I recently watched a favorite film that I hadn’t seen in a while – Peter Weir’s remarkable ‘Picnic At Hanging Rock’. He excels at these kinds of films… a glimpse of something ‘out there’… of something mystical… in the same vein as his ‘The Last Wave’.

This is from the soundtrack…

This sensual and striking chronicle of a disappearance and its aftermath put director Peter Weir on the map and helped usher in a new era of Australian cinema. Based on the acclaimed 1967 novel by Joan Lindsay, Picnic at Hanging Rock is set in the early twentieth century and centers on a small group of students at an all-female university who vanish, along with a chaperone, during a Valentine’s Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystical, Weir’s beautiful, unsettling film explores issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society. It is a work of poetic horror whose secrets haunt viewers to this day.
