Name that piece! The game

[Amfortas]

Very good choice. I have access to that recording and will listen to it.

By the way, the Hambraeus piece sounded very good too in the sampling I did.

[Amfortas]

Here is the next mystery piece

This one has a twist....

What a pity some old clips are missing!

Is it an orchestral version of a vocal original?

[Wanderer]

If I know this, should I spoil the fun too soon by revealing it?

Reveal away - I listened, but don't recognize it.

Reveal away - I listened, but don't recognize it.

It's an orchestral transcription of Mahler's Piano Quartet.

Wow. I really liked it. Where can this be found?

[Brian]

Dang. I thought the opening sounded a lot like Mahler, but I also thought that if it was Mahler everyone jump on it in ten seconds.

It's also clearly been orchestrated by someone else, no?

[Wanderer]

Wow. I really liked it. Where can this be found?

Amfortas will tell us; in my view, although it sounds like an able attempt, the original work is clearly superior:

You're not spoiling any fun. I figured someone would recognize it eventually. It's orchestrated by Colin Matthews, and a beautiful job in my opinion.

So you're the winner, Wanderer 

[Amfortas]

Can we expect a mystery clip from Wanderer?

[Hattoff]

Here's one to be going on with.
A lot easier, let's take it easy.

As booklet from my old LP box says it is:

Aw man. I finally recognize something and I am too slow! Good call!  look forward to your clip.

EDIT: I Would add that the opera is highly enjoyable. Some wonderful music and there is some beautiful singing (Act II, excerpted here, is excellent).

Who has ever heard it will probably recognize it. But I suppose there will by some fun for others.

It's my rip from LP wich was very often used, sorry.

A bassoon concerto by.... Carl Maria von Weber?

A bassoon concerto by.... Carl Maria von Weber?

Well, Weber wrote some very funny music for bassoon. I'm not a great fan of his concerto, but I really admire this crazy Rondo:

But, alas, mystery clip is not by Carl Maria von Weber.

How about Gioacchino Rossini?

Not better.
