I hope bigamy is allowed in this state as well! |

The original "Jam Band" piece. This following Pink Floyd's "Echos" after midnight. The "missionary" and other positions are getting a workout  My favorite.... |

I love this, and all the different ways it can be 'felt' due solely to the way it's conducted. This one seems almost militant near the end, there are other recordings which are nearly orgasmic.

This song is quite a ride from start to finish. Good call, RP.

Sorry.

Madeleine L'Engle, one of my favorite writers, wrote:One evening before dinner Bion puts on Ravel's Bolero. We manage not to groan. How many times have we heard it? It's been a favorite of his ever since he discovered music. I look at Mother and wonder if there is a flicker of remembrance about the evening in Paris when she and Father heard Bolero performed for the first time ever, anywhere. We are so familiar with its repetitive, hypnotic rhythm that it is impossible for me to imagine hearing it completely freshly. Mother said that after the last long mesmerizing note died away the audience sat silent, stunned, and then burst into roars of cheering.
From The Summer of the Great-Grandmother, one of my favorite books. I cannot hear Bolero without remembering this passage.

The first CD my daddy bought when he got his first CD-player. Of course I stole it when I moved out. Some interesting stuff he did write.
Though some disagree with me. A British doctor wrote: "...the famous melody repeated 18 times without change during the course of the piece demonstrates that the French composer was possibly succumbing to Alzheimer's disease. Perseveration, an obsession with repeating words and gestures, is one of the more notable symptoms of this pathology"

First time I've heard Bolero on RP and it's a welcomes respite. But this is hardly the best recording of this piece. Even the BSO doesn't nail it all the time.  |
