C&L's Late Night Music Club with Rachmaninoff

I wanted to feature a classical piece tonight and while the selections were few, I found most of the first movement of Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3 in D minor by Martha Argerich.

Many people were exposed to this piece from the hit movie "Shine,"starring Geoffrey Rush back in 1996. It is considered a technical nightmare.

You can purchase a version of it here. A website about Martha too

As I'm starting to develop our Music Club I need your help. The first order of business is to come up with a good name for it. "C&L's Late Night Music Club," isn't very creative-so who ever comes up with the coolest name-I'll send you a coffee mug in the mail. I also need some help finding more cool stuff to post in all the genres. I've received a few so far by some readers and thanks. If you find something interesting just put them in the thread or send me an email for now.

Can you help us out?
