Excellent scientific-neurological explanation of how our brains enjoy great music and why it is the most pleasurable of all the arts. I adore music for its intrinsically intellectual stimulation and emotion provoking tapestry of sound and beauty.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI would not call it operatic by any stretch, but that makes it no less worthy or attractive. That lady has a voice really well suited for the genre! Good music is good music regardless of genre. I love Celtic music, country music, folk music, blue grass, and my son has even got me hooked on some metal.
i thought you might like its slightly operatic tones 🙂

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo you were watching the dentist work on Scazzi's teeth! BTW, I saw Clannad live at McCabes Guitar shop in Santa Monica back when I had my band Southwind. She sang it there too. I also have the vinyl of them. I have a large folk collection as you might suspect. Doc Watson's first album, Backwards Sam Firk's first album, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, all their first records. And a lot more.

Also saw the Boys of the Lough, they were friends who came to Judy Gamarel's house a number of times, she was one of the founding members of Southwind.
Her dad, Art Gameral was one of the hidden names VERY high up at 20th century Fox, the Comptroller. He was the dude producers came begging for money to make movies. They have a very nice house in Westwood, near Beverly hills.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat's a misuse of opera if I ever heard of one! Stop going to Mengele, DDS! LOL I enjoy all sorts of music, but in the right setting. I don't mind elevator music in elevators for example. Recently we had a work party at an ailing teacher's home from my son's art high school. Someone put on opera and it slowed things down. One of the girls popped in a country CD of uplifting music. Made us work harder and finish faster.

Originally posted by scacchipazzoThe link between metal and opera is not so tenuous, Bruce Dickinson essentially turned Iron Maiden into an operatic outfit.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieQuasi-operatic does not come close to making things operatic. I love Iron Maiden, but I'm sure no one would mistake them for opera. Opera is much more subtle, polished, has more complex polyphony and a texture that can range from dreamy to emotive and uplifting even in its most tragic moments such as Sigfried's funeral music from Gotterdamerung.

Originally posted by bill718Don't miss out on Italian guitar music. Mauro Giuliani is pretty wonderful as is Brazilian Villalobos. For a slightly different sound Mexico's Bribiesca is about as good as it gets as well as Argentina's Guastavino. Guitar music is indeed wonderful. Lots of pretty wonderful blue grass out there as well.
