I can't bring myself to take part in the Roussel thread . . . too put off by the whiney thread title.

so, what you're basically saying is that if I were to start a 'Why Doesn't anyone love RVW as much as I do?' thread, you wouldn't be one of the principle participants... is that it??  ;D

I remember during a discussion (or was it a debate?) about the 'Living Stereo' box someone wished the powers-that-be would release the 'Living Presence' from Mercury. Well, folks, it's here:

I've used the ASIN tag for reference, although it's much cheaper at UK stores.

Is the kind of singing unique to Monteverdi or even this work, or was it prevalent during his time? (It lasts for about 9 seconds from where the video starts and transformed afterwards.) Somehow, to these modern ears, they seem slightly less reverent for a religious work of that time (not that I hold an encyclopaedic knowledge about it between my ears ::)) and perhaps even playful.

True, Sarge, I'm no good. I have a thing about symphonies going over 30 minutes. I can only think of 2 that can justify it, and they weren't written in the 20th century, or even after 1825.

Gosh.

Gotta say it again: Gosh.

What does the French word tableau translate into when applied to music - 'part' or 'scene'?

I've been busted humming to Mahler's 2nd! :D

Earlier this week my students were working on completing a virtual lab... and they didn't need my help for the time being so I was listening to the glorious final movement of the M 2 when I looked down to see they had all gathered around the door giggling!! :-[ ;D :D

I'm inclined to say scene.

Today I learned: both Tchaikovsky and Korngold's violin concertos are in D major, and both are assigned opus 35.
