Quintus 4231 Report post Posted August 11, 2013 Do admin and everyone else agree that a dedicated thread for all musical tributes to the maestro would be a handy resource? I personally enjoy seeing and hearing what the many talented fans come up with, especially when they're as beautiful as this: And on the subject of the Weissenborn, can anyone recommend any scores or albums where it's featured prominently? Preferably with lots of fiddle accompaniment. It's a sound I really love actually, the sleepy western aesthetic. 2 mrbellamy and idril reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ludwig 552 Report post Posted August 11, 2013 Great thread idea!This is a really fun one: Wow! He must be one of those people who takes any theme and can improvise the hell out of it.Love the Beethoven version of the theme. I would love to hear a Wagner version of the theme, but that would probably take 4 hours to play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thor 2445 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Those guys are too goodlooking to be proper nerds! But seriously, that's a great tribute. Better than most other 'a cappella' versions I've heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thor 2445 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 He's got technical skills, no doubt, but he walks into the trap of so many others in that area -- too uptempo, too much flair and -- sadly -- not enough dynamic between the fast and slow, powerful and subdued. Plus, too many embellishments -- sometimes, the simpler is the better. So sorry, didn't like that very much. Too noisy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
