Greetings, once more. I thought this was going to be a blog about classical style music, however the almighty Administrator Stuart, has decided to go on about Rodger and Hammenstein musicals. Which, you may think would prompt me to write about Les Miserables. However, I am however going to review what is viewed as a masterpiece or as an innovative rendition of Hannibal crossing the Pianos. While mostly chaotic, and with the veneer of a total lack of structure, however throughout the Concerto, many themes begin to develop to create an atmosphere or apprehension and a subtle tremble of the mind, failings in society perhaps. My favourite movement, is the first, a movement that sees the piano create immense tension, with increased interplay from the string section, before my favourite section, a cadenza around eight or nine minutes into the movement, which sees a series of glorious progressions from the piano culminate in a sublte, but still dramatic apex with the strings before subsiding with a feeling that everything is not all right.
I dont have time for a full review, so I'll leave it there, I'll update the entry some other time.

Read the subtitle. MUSIC!! Anyway Musicals are kind of in that grey area between classical music and popular music. Same with jazz.
Anyway you could post review of say, Funkytown.
shouldn't you be commenting on the south pacific post instead of the prokofiev one? and funkytown is an awesome song. if strange.
