Ode to Adoring Fan committing suicide from Dive Rock. Okay its Vista Point from Gothic 3 but the first time I heard it was a video showing the Adoring Fan in Oblivion walking off of Dive Rock and this was the song used at the end of that video.

Within Temptation -- In Perfect Harmony

A truly beautiful song.

[Decrepit]

I recently did something I assumed I would never do again this lifetime (due to hearing loss), order an audio CD off Amazon. Rather a set of 3 CDs. Those being a collection of Schubert "songs" performed by the contralto Natalie Stutzmann accompanied by Inger Sodergren.

This all came about with me wanted to find a YouTube video of ms Stutzmann singing "Der Tod und das Mädchen" (Death and the Maiden) for our October thread, at the very end of which she hits a low note to die for! While listening I noticed links to several other Stutzmann Schubert interpretations. Hearing those, I decided to investigate, which led me find the 3-CD set dirt cheap at Amazon. It arrived yesterday. I've already listened to two of the three packed discs. Great stuff! (The works on this set are normally performed my male vocalists.)

On a roll, I watched a concert performance of Mozart's Symphony No.35 "Haffner", in which ms Stutzmann serves as conductor. A most talented and versatile lady.

A classical piece that Khajiit finds both scary and beautiful:
Totentanz by Franz Liszt
No, Khajiit doesn't expect you to listen to the whole 15 minutes of it, but he thinks you should. It rocks!

I for one listened to it all. Haven't heard the piece in years, maybe decades. Liked the interpretation.

Eepers! I have forgot about this one. Gonna make sure I delete its reference from my YouTube history page so they don't use it to make recommendations.

Just finished listening to disc two of my recently acquired Franz Schubert song cycles CD set, this disc devoted to Die Schone Mullerin. I expected to enjoy it least of the three cycles, it being the earliest written of them. Turns out I might well like it best, at least taken as a whole. Not that the other two are slouches by any means!

This inexpensive set was well worth the modest investment. (Around $16US for three crammed discs, if memory serves.) Very well song. Fine accompaniment. Well recorded, to the limited extent I can judge such things. Great music. I wish the otherwise fine booklet included words to the individual "songs"but, considering how many there are, doing so would likely have been uneconomical considering the asking price.

Lolol, come on, everybody, Rick Astley is the pinnacle of music! One must be rick-rolled to know what living truly is!

Actually, five or so years ago I was browsing some of the music my family downloaded from way back in the days of Napster and BearShare. It turned out that we had like a whole freaking album or so of Rick Astley music.

On a serious note, an actually soothing piece and one of the most phenomenal pieces of music ever (and very much in the running for my favorite piece of all-time) is Aphex Twin - Rhubarb. It's...really hard to describe the feeling that I get listening to it. It's got a nostalgic vibe, but it's a lot more than that. I don't remember how I figured out what it was, but I think I first heard it from the Half-Life mod Afraid of Monsters during the best ending.

The word "masterpiece" is thrown around too often and has lost some of its meaning in a way, but it truly describes this piece of music. I think it's absolutely incredible.

The funny thing is Rick Rolling has kept him relevant. He's still making albums and touring.

Oh, man. I used to do BearShare so much back in the day! Still have the shortcut on my Millennium desktop

Ah Napster I remember those days. Now I use Amazon for my music downloading.

Been listening to a variety of works by various classical-early romantic era composers, performed by Viviana Sofronitsky on McNutly modern replicas of historic fortepianos.

Am currently listening to this filmed concert performance of Franz Shubert's Piano Trio in E-flat, Op.100 by the Trio Cleonice.
