I'm 69 and we don't realize how many classical pieces we learned from watching Saturday .morning cartoons

[@NicolasArnaud]

of course !!! Europe was the light of the world before the arabic invasion !

[@bradfordrusso7480]

I'm 66. Growing up on watching Bugs Bunny in prime-time TV (weekday evenings), BEFORE Saturday Morning became popular. I STILL watch them. Over 30 years ago, I realized: Those cartoons were NOT originally made "just" for kids. Before TV, they played in the theatres, between the features. They include jokes and gags that only an adult could fully understand and appreciate.

[@jmw939]

And William Tell Overture was The Lone Ranger theme, lol.

[@roseolivas08]

That's actually why they're called "looney tunes" instead of "toons"! Because they were specifically animated to classical pieces :)

I fell in love with Hung. Dance #5 as the wolf was wrecking the pigs' homes.

The Italian musicians have delivered what seems to me to be the perfect interpretation of Rossini's overture. The double bass section was particularly outstanding.

Give me specifics as to adherence to tempo, timbre, attack, voicings and so forth. Thanks.

Sono molto contento che in Qatar abbiano scelto un brano di un grande musicista italiano per un concerto e che sia stato cosi apprezzato. Penso sia giusto dedicarlo alla memoria del Padre di Geoge Mena, che lo suonava dimostrando al Figlio che la musica non ha confini, né di cultura, né di razza, né di luogo né di tempo. La musica è il dono di Dio che è più vicino alla nostra anima: ne consola i dolori, ne accompagna la gioie, ne interpreta i desideri, ne calma i timori. La musica avvicina gli esseri umani tra loro e li unisce.
