Piese instrumentale favorite - repostat

Dorin îmi propune o leapşă. Nu prea cred în asemenea chestii, dar te fac să scrii pe blog când n-ai nimic interesant de zis.

Deci piese instrumentale favorite, incredibil de greu de găsit:


Şi ar mai fi, dar îmi e foarte greu să găsesc preferinţele mele pe net. De obicei ascult şi îmi place ceva, ce aud odată, din întamplare, pe fundalul unui film, pe la radio, pe la alţii... şi apoi caut şi caut cine a cântat acele 3 sunete de mi-au atras atenţia :) Şi în cazurile fericite le găsesc.

Nu prea am clasică în top pentru că nu prea ascult clasică. E foarte multă muzică clasică ce îmi place, dar nu intră neapărat în favorite. Dar... îmi place la nebunie: mai întăi vioara (tristă sau jucăuşă, cum e ea) şi apoi pianul. Dar nu numai, sunt atâtea instrumente şi sunete superbe pe lumea asta şi de la atâtea civilizaţii şi culturi. De ex. Tan Dun - In the Chess Court. Deşi nu ştiu pe unde să o găsiţi.

Said in the '70s... to no effect?

We will see how very important it is to bring about, in the human mind, the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness. A crisis that cannot, anymore, accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. And, considering what the world is now, with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression, and so on… Man is still as he was. Is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive. And, he’s built a society along these lines.

J. Krishnamurti


Perhaps more than 30 years after these words were spoken I sent them to most of my friends in the form of a video. Some fell asleep on it in the first minute. Some didn't find the time for it, considering the demands of modern life. And in my opinion, all are cases of the omnipresent ADD of the modern man.

I (used to) enjoy sharing and discussing matters of the life. Yet now, my rare occasions of a discussion resembles web surfing. My conversation partner reads through my words and before I could finish my statement follows the links in a word. In less than a minute we're talking about completely different subjects. But just like web surfing, we both have the vague impression that somehow the conversation is still linked to the "home page" we've left of.

EDIT: Initially I didn't want to post the videos just to make it more entertaining to search and find it, for the easily distracted :-)
