I really enjoy the sound of a good orchestra. Yes, Miss Prism, a lone violin, isn't generally impresssive. Frequently I feel as though violin solos are only meant to show off how good the violinist is, not actually sound melodic.
I wanted to share with you one of my favorite violinists. I don't know many. This is Vanessa Mae. She frequently plays the electic violin and is accompanied. Thus meaning she actually sounds good. (I own 3 of her cds thanks to my mother in law. )
This song is the one that got me interested in her music.
Please pardon the ridiculousness that is in these videos. Turn them on and then open a new page. Or just watch them and laugh a lot.
Nearly all of her online videos are live recordings. I do not like live recordings. If you are inclined to look up more there is pleny available on Youtube.
It's ok if you still hate violin at the end of this.
Thank you! I actually really love this version of "Toccata & Fugue"--I am surprised! However, I can't imagine a universe where SmallDaughter sounds like that!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the perfect day--it really does sound heavenly! Also, kudos on solving the jet-pack dilemma. Good to know!
