It's cool that this game is providing the prompting for people to check out things they knew about but had yet to hear. I like Valen's songs (on a Simax disc which used to go for almost nothing), but found this disc to be especially engaging and well-programmed:

[asin]B00004YYRU[/asin]

I ordered that yesterday (only five Euros) along with the Bis CD of the Fourth Symphony.

Well there is seemed to be this lovefest on atonal/modern stuff, so I just wanted to get...a different view out there! Mind you, some atonal/modern is good in the mix...in reasonable doses.  ;D

Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Yeah we need more baroque, classical... if I had gained control I had something early in mind. :)  Well win this round or Scarpia's and you can turn things around! :)

I almost chose a classical work for my last go...until I got the requests for some atonal honking. That worked out pretty well. Old Fart'in turned out to be surprisingly popular.

Haven't listened to it yet. I've been busy elsewhere. I'll check it out now.

It's distinctive enough that if I had heard it before I think I'd remember it. Right now, no clue. The language is German (I hear sternengleich, tausende, Majestät) but I can't make out enough words to string together even one coherent line. Damn these "trained" voices  ;D

I'm hoping to get a clip prepared tonight.  If someone wants to start a wildcard round before then I won't take offence.

Cool beans.  Gurn's clip will probably take all day anyway. :)

I hope I'm here when it goes down  ;D  But we'll be going out to dinner soon.

I guess we need to wait for all the better guessers to show up. :D  I was sure that Sarge would get it though. Maybe when he returns from dinner, his brain will be re-energized!

I have actually thrown a couple of clews out there for y'all. They were subtle, but hey, that's just me.   :)

At least I didn't pick a composer that no one has ever heard of before...     0:)

No idea, but if I had to guess now I'd say Moses und Aaron, Schoenberg.

Well, that is a very interesting idea. I'm gonna have to find that work some day, I've seen it mentioned... :)
