Brahms vs. Tchaikovsky!!!

[Ataraxia]

Furtwängler/Berlin Phil 1943
Wand/NDR
Eschenbach/Schleswig-Holstein Festival O
Kleiber/Vienna Phil

Is the Wand the one in that red Brahms box? I'm pretty sure that's on Spotify.

I own the Kleiber, of course. I'll have to try to find the other two you mention.

[Sergeant Rock]

Is the Wand the one in that red Brahms box?

Yes.

[Brian]

Yes.

Aha! I just got the Wand from tsrauser in the 'Buy, Sell, Trade' forum. I'll have to give it a hear now.

You could substitute Brahms with several dozen other names and that composer would still get my vote. No contest!

[Conor71]

I prefer Brahms Chamber Music but in general I enjoy and listen to Tchaikovsky more often so he gets my vote!

[madaboutmahler]

Really difficult.....

If pushed, I think I would probably have to say Tchaikovsky.

No pushing or shoving please...

I asked Mrs. Rock to vote in the poll. She wanted to know the choices. Tchaikovsky or Brahms, says I. "Oh f--k," says she.

She wants the banana option...or Dvorak.

US or Russia?

Ummm... Andorra

[Brian]

...or Dvorak.

I like Mrs. Rock.

[Ataraxia]

Now it can be told: The correct answer is "Brahms."

[Sergeant Rock]

I like Mrs. Rock.

She's always been crazy for Dvorak...even likes the early stuff like the D minor Fourth.

Why, I oughtta . . . .

[Ataraxia]

I admit, Tchaikovsky is loved by millions of drunks and people with nervous disorders.

[mc ukrneal]

Well, anybody who votes for Tchaikovsky or Brahms is aces in my book....

[springrite]

In Blackjack, when you have two aces, the right thing to do is to split them...

[Leon]

Brahms, of course.  Which is the answer for all but 3 or 4 other composers.

Quite right!
