Excellent taste, i love your lists. I'd only like to find more Rachmaninoff. Thanks for sharing!

kmysko

thanks, I appreciate! of course, in future lists I'll try to share Rachmaninoff, but my "soviet" favorite composers are Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev ;)

Hi, can I just ask you who the composer is of the very first piece on this playlist i.e. ´Links´? Fantastic playlist, great motivator for us university students. ;) Thanks.

kmysko

it is a japanese composer Joe Hisaishi (Mamoru Fujisawa). he is well-known for his respective work with Hayao Miyazaki and Takeshi Kitano, having composed many of the scores for their films.
thanks for listening and your kind words! so glad to know that this mix can be as a moticator for students ;))

stogs

Oh, really! I didn´t realize that this was Hisaishi! I am a huge fan of Miyazaki, so this is pretty cool! Thank you for your reply. You really know your way around classical/classical contemporary music. ;)

kmysko

yeah, exactly! that's right, but I'm trying not to limit myself only with this way ;)

Mmmm, loved this long and beautiful mix!
Your instrumental version of the Léo Delibes-'Flower Duet' was wonderful and new to me, as many other tunes.
My fav is the last tune from the so creative and important Terry Riley. Merci ! ☆★✫

kmysko

thanks a lot for listening! I like Léo Delibes and all variations around his amazing music. I have a weakness for music of Romanticism era.
Yes, exactly! Last tune is very crative and hypnotizing. When I firstly met this track I immediately decided that it musr be in the end of some future mix ;)

Curious fact: The song 'Fish Beach' by Michael Nyman was originally used in the film 'The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover' with Helen Mirren. A very Avant-garde film c:

kmysko

as I know, Michael Nyman worked with the director Peter Greenaway in his most important films (Drowning By Numbers, ZOO, The Draughtsman's Contract...). they form a perfect ensemble!
