Russian Philharmonia Symphony Orchestra of Moscow
As I listened to the plucking of violins, visions of dainty ballet dancers came to mind and I imagined someone tiptoeing across a dark empty room.
The plucking of the harp sounded like the ticking of a clock and the passage of time.
It was then that I realized how classical music has been popularized in the mainstream. It has been so widely used in film and television to tell a story, heighten drama and set the tone of a scene- that certain excerpts of classical music have come to be associated with specific dramatic situations.
I tried to go back to listening to the entire piece without such philistine interruptions- just for the sake of listening pleasure and appreciation of technical difficulty.
