Very clever, but to my way of thinking he totally wrecked a beautiful piece of music. :angry:

No way...... what was the original like ?

The beatles wrote some good music, but sung it crap. Listen to it by Ray Charles etc and it is really great ;)

What you say about The Beatles I would agree with, but Canon is NOT a rock type piece. It should sound as the introduction did. There are plenty of other tunes that are meant to be played in that fashion, where he could show off his undoubted talent. Why wreck a perfectly good piece of music that has given pleasure to millions over the years?

If that was wrecked the your ears must be going.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I just don't like to see beautiful music treated in this way, even though the playing was excellent. You and many others probably did not like what was done to Queens music in the Queen Symphony. I have no objection to a sympathetic arrangement of any music in keeping with the original intentions of the composer. Canon was composed as a quiet and beautiful meditative piece of music. I have also heard a modern arrangement of it for voices. It was treated in a respectful manner and stuck to the original format. No problem there.

Andsome, as I play the classical guitar, (and I also have an electric guitar) I have to disagree with you.

That performance was breathtaking.

I have played that piece of music and sometimes jazzed it up a bit myself, although not to that degree.

Sometimes it is an eye opener to here a different interperatation on a piece of music.

That lad certainly has a bright future ahead of him.

We had a similar discussion on music before andsome and you insisted you have a broader range in musical tastes than anyone on this board.

You comment certainly does not substantiate that claim. ;)

Classical, choral, opera, modern jazz, traditional jazz, tuneful popular singers like Sinatra, The carpenters, Nat King Cole, Johny Ray, Shirley Bassey, and many more, big band, solo piano, organ, Steel band, and much much more. I just do not like noisy bang bang, and thudding type pop, and general yelling and shouting. I hate pop groups in general, especially female. What types of music do you like?

I don't think the piece was wrecked at all, it was just played in a different way, and if that brings it to a wider and more appreciative audience then that can only be a good thing I would have thought.

You are spot on there Nellie2. :D
