Something thats a must see for classical music lovers..

I have a special place in my heart for classical music. I was trained and adored playing the Violin. As a child I would listen to diffrent sets and plays from the great Composers as I went to sleep at night. It has fueled my love of all musics, the way they can sway our emotions, set the scene and even inspire us to turn things around if they catch us at the right moment. As a dancer it wired music in to me even further as I learned to work and move to the beats no matter how obscure to the untrained ear.

So when I find little gems music related - I have to share them. From what I can see of the trailer is a beautiful movie that will secure Robert Downy Jr.'s spot back in Hollywood as a Actor to contend with. Paired off with Oscar Winner Jamie Foxx it looks to be an amazing movie. The movie you ask? The Soloist


The movie is based off the true story of a LA times Journalist, a homeless man and their random chance friendship. While it sounds a bit campy its ANYTHING but from what the trailer shows, its one I am eager to see as well. If your a fan of music, this will be the must see movie for you this year. The story is amazing from what I am reading (And will be doing more so)and its something that may even score them Oscars next year.

Yep. Wife and I saw this trailer before watching Gran Torino a couple weeks back. And with RDJ in there, it's a definite must-see. Looked like a great movie.

By the way, in case there's anyone that doesn't know, the piece of cello music that is heard two or three times in the preview is Bach's First Cello Suite, I.Prelude.

The best performance (in my opinion, that is) on modern recordings is by Susan Sheppard. It's on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Cello-Suites-No-1-6/dp/B0011BM67W

It's worth every penny at a shade under $9.

Nice to find another young Classical Music fan out here! ;)
