This is not a classical piece at all! It's definitley 60s Motown vocal group I can't say which group but I'm sure you sould start looking there!

While the sample is from some popular vocal group, the music is actually from the first movement of Beethoven's 'Moonlight' Sonata, about a third of the way through.

You will find it here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=O6txOvK-mAk at about 2.08

Maybe it's the film score by Bernard Herrmann(?)

Looking at all those snippets - 'young prince and princess', 'Sinbad', 'Russian composer' - it must be, surely?

Default Need help identifying Italian Opera

Hi everyone.. I'm new here, unfamiliar with classical music and have an odd question.


Does anyone know the title of the song playing in the background of this old GTA commercial?

Click the link below and listen

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WUi3davvBmM


I'm trying to track it down right now for a final school assignment that'll be due in a few days.


Thanx .. & sorry if this turns out to be the wrong section for this thread. I wasn't sure where else to ask such a question.


Thanx again

Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro" from "Gianni Schicci" - a one act opera from the "Il Trittico" trilogy.

Default who is that artist?

THis is Martha Argerich. A briliant pianist who's recorings on DG made a big splash in the 70s!

aha!

Thank you.

In the 70's, I was listening to Joni Mitchel, Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, and Fleetwood Mac.

"As a result she might not be as widely known as other pianists of similar stature" is a rather funny statement on wikipedia since she's one of the most widely discussed pianists out there....

BTW - Argerich's output isn't limited to the 70's. She first made her mark in the 60's and continues to play and record to this day.

you can never trust wiki completely. It is crafted by hobbyists and spare timers.
