Here are some great music clips...
Nicola Benedetti, the 20 year old Scottish (I think she probably has Italian blood, looking at her name) violinist with both looks and talent. Here she's playing the Meditation from Thais by Massenet (I hope I got the piece right, I don't always have good memory for such cheesy pieces:)). This girl's really talented. Let's hope she doesn't do a 'Vanessa Mae' (ie. pose in a translucent dress in the sea and switch over to play classical music with a disco beat!) http://www.nicolabenedetti.co.uk/
Andras Schiff, one of my 'favouritist' pianists playing the lovely Schubert Arpeggione Sonata with an unknown cellist.
Krystian Zimerman playing and conducting the buoyant and energetic Beethoven 1st piano concerto. This is great fun to watch. I think he's one of the three pianists in the world(together with Stephen Hough and Maurizio Pollini) whose technique is so out of the world that he has probably never played a wrong note before.

About Me
- Jack Tan
- I am secretly (and ashamedly) moved by sentimental literature. Classical music moves me and stirring orchestral music sends a chill down my spine and has the effect of making me stand up and pretend I'm a conductor. I am terribly choosy with my food but ironically I like to check out restaurants (albeit 'safe' ones). I like inane activities like window shopping, observing people and animals, taking long bus rides to nowhere and surfing the net. I have patience for others but none for myself. I am a good listener but I will never want counselling as my profession. My aim in life is to make God the centre of everything I do.
