Parade of the Athletes Review of Parade Of The Athletes - Tiesto by cittauk Advantages: Excellent tracks Disadvantages: No Disadvantages ...I am a great fan of Tiesto. I think he truly is the best. Parade of the Athletes is perfectly done, the way it just flows from one track to the next is of excellence. My favourite track of them all is "Adagio for Strings" Playing it at the loudest I can, at home or in car opens a doorway to the listener so you can tune right into the beats and be transformed into a world of euphoria. It is fantastic how an old piece of any music of any genre can be transformed into a modern day trance mix and this is especially true of Adagio For Strings. Originally a very classical composition, yet when Tiesto mixed this music he brought it to life giving it a whole new identity without losing its originality. It is of no wonder that Tiesto has come so far in his field. He has a talent that is exceptional I would definitely recommend this...

The Baroque era, 1600 to 1750, is used musically to describe a period in music in which the techniques used and expression achieved share similar characteristics. An important characteristic of the Baroque era is the use of contrasts; loud and soft, fast and slow, solo and tutti (all instruments). Adagio an Italian word translated to English as slow. Albinoni used slow movements to provide a contrast to faster movements. He is credited with being the first Italian composer to use three movements for a concerto. A concerto being a genre of music, in which a small group of players is set against a much larger group thereby providing the contrasts of soft and loud, solo and tutti. The usual pattern of concerto is three movements - fast – slow – fast. This CD... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average very helpful		very helpful 07.06.2004
