I found this version of it the other day played by Vladimir Horowitz. Horowitz Plays Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 3 Rachmaninov himself said that Horowitz's interpretation was the best he'd ever heard... Better even than his own.

Does that include classic rock? Wink

Did you see the Simpsons episode, where Homer and Ned joined up as bounty hunters, and while on a stakeout together they were discussing what music they liked?

It went like this;

Homer: Well, I like AC/DC!

Flanders: And I like their Christian cover band, AD/BC!
( Ned sings) Kindly deeds, done for free! Kindly deeds, done for free! Kindly deeds, done for free!

Homer and Flanders:(both singing) Kindly deeds and they're done for free! Kindly deeds and they're done for free!

That was Classic.

But if I am being totally honest, I would have to admit to being a bit of a pleb, when it comes to classical music, some, like the "classic", classics, if you like, I naturally like, but I find I rarely really 'Listen' to it, rather than just have it in the background, for ambience.

I mostly find classical music a little boring, except in relatively small doses, but I do agree that much of it is very 'spiritually uplifting'.

But if any culture vultures want to get into some free downloads of the great classical music, I have been told that this site is very good.

BTW, have you noticed how classical orchestra conductors swing with their hands? That helps them to stay onbalance.
