Most of you who knows me, know that I am a super plebeian when it comes to Classical Music. Well, I think there is hope. While driving to pick Huei up from work yesterday, I was listening to Symphony 92.4FM, and I heard a tune which I like and was surprised that it sounded familiar to me. So, I quickly took out my Blackberry and recorded it so that I could find out it's name later. The radio DJ said that it was Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, Allegrotto, conducted by Jacques Loussier. It was a nice variation because it has some jazz elements in it which I absolutely loved. So, after fetching Huei, we head for home immediately. I remembered that I had recently purchased a collection of Beethoven's 9 Symphonies, conducted by Karajan, so I popped in CD 4 which included the exact Symphony No. 7. It was different from the one I heard on the radio but it was still good. Classically good. Even though I think I prefer the Loussier jazzier version. Good. Now, that I actually like one classical song which I had discovered on my own. Quite an accomplishment. And then as I was in the office the next morning. I still could not understand why that tune sounded familiar to me. And then, SUDDENLY, it hit me. That music was from the OST of The King's Speech, which we had just watched over two days ago with Wilfred, Kim and Huei! Goodness, gracious, me! I actually remembered the tune and recognized it from the radio and the link just came to me in an instance. My moment of Eureka! I was pretty pleased with myself. Actually, I wasn't exactly sure if what I had thought was true so I turned to Google. And, voila! My intuition was absolutely correct. Please enjoy the youtube clip until they remove it.
BTW, the movie is fantastic! A must-watch! Please do not watch the trailer before watching the movie. Trust me. It is better.
