  This looks like it could be it.
 

 
@Mr Trev yes there really is a Banjo Concerto.
 

 
Yep, that's the NVSO in action!  They are pretty cool.  We became sustaining members last year because - their educational program for the kids is superb.  Check it out, on their web site.  Not to mention a super classical offering and other fun stuff...we are going this w/e to see Star Trek "Into Darkness" with the SO playing the score.  Should be a cool event!
 
However, thanks for posting the old Bugs Bunny stuff - I'd forgotten how cool that was!  How I miss Bugs and his satire, along with the great music.
 
Cheers,
RCB
 
ps. If y'all haven't watched Disney's Fantasia in awhile, I highly recommend it.

Astor Piazzolla "Four Seasons of Buenos Aires"
 

 

[Light - Man]

One of my favourites, light, fresh and uplifting - wellknown piece starts at 15'

Some classical guitar love. Asturias / Isaac Albeniz, as played by John Williams:
 

 
Segovia's interpretation, bad quality though:

Nice, and another good one - sorry for being so predictable with all the attractive ladies

 

 
And another version of it by Segovia but it takes about 20" to start playing

Guys, some people may criticize Youtube for SQ but for some reason I cannot get my CD player to project beautiful images onto my retina!

 

 
And one more for something a little different
 
 
 
And another - you guys are a bad influence on me

I was debating whether to share Ana Vidovic's performance or John Williams'. I really love Ana's performance here, it feels calmer. I chose John's because of the harmonics he executes during the performance.
 
Moonlight Sonata was the composition that got me really into classical music. But I had always loved the guitar, and then I started discovering guitar arrangements for the sonata. It was a wonderful day.
 

 
 
And, for something completely different. Traditionalists might even consider it blasphemous to include this in a classical music thread, but here goes. Please ignore the video, just close your eyes and listen (and try to ignore the not-so-good recording quality).
 

 
I've heard many electric guitar covers of classical music, Lai's are certainly my favourite. I think he conveys the emotion behind compositions extremely well. His videos can be a bit... jarring, but his playing and arrangements are really good (in my opinion). It's like he listens to the compositions, understands the emotion, and rearranges it for the electric guitar. He really makes them his own.

Just post whatever you personally like, that is the whole idea of this thread.

 
This version is just too good not to share
 

 
And another

I reckon I have a pathological tendency to be easily led astray

I reckon Elina Garanca is one of the very best ever?
 

 

 
Heading to see Hayley Westenra with her Lightness on Saturday at the NCH Dublin.
 
Not a great recording but good enough to check her out if you are not familiar with her.

This is something I have not listened to in years.  Nice and relaxing.
