Short and sweet for Monday.

Feel free to discuss, or just to cast your vote.

I like them both but since there is Stockhausen (or substitute a different recent name of your choice) now, they are both irrelevent.

[springrite]

I still do not have Agon in my collection which is a sin in Karl's book, I know. In fact I have never listened to the piece. I can not explain why. When and if I go to Boston I trust that Karl will rectify that situation.

I listen to Liszt more, but I listen to Rite more than any other piece.

[Lisztianwagner]

I like both Liszt and Stravinsky, although I prefer the first one by far.

I've actually grown into Liszt. At first, I only ever liked a couple of pieces. Now, I really find his music quite interesting. Stravinksy has always been hit or miss for me, and Rite probably exemplefies that for me. I love some parts, but can't stand other parts. My favorite Stravinsky piece might just be Rake's Progress, which is probably unusual.

Maybe it means you like Mozart more than you like Stravinsky...

Doesn't everyone?!       But you are right - it is probably the mix that allows me to fully enjoy it. It is wickedly clever at times too (doesn't hurt).

Only a misdemeanor, dear fellow.

The thing is, of course, Kimi will be fired up for Agon. in your heart, you know this, and are still preparing.

I like both very much, though I should explore both of them more (Liszt's symphonic works, Stravinsky's later works like Requiem Canticles or Agon - I've heard those two but don't have recordings yet).

[Florestan]

Like'em both but I listen more frequently to Franz than to Igor. I am even a heretic when it comes to the latter because I consider his absolute masterpiece to be Petrushka (which I adore). I sincerely confess, though, that they are not among my favorite composers.

[PaulR]

I don't care for either.  Although I like Stravinsky a lot more than Liszt.

Pfffff... read carefully the article...

I must confess....I am confused.....perhaps just too tired.

If you put it this way, +1.

You might give Orpheus a listen someday. Just a suggestion.

Figured it would be in reference to that stupid discussion.

. . . honestly . . . your posts on this read like that, regurgitating stuff from 'out there' with very little introspective critical or inquisitive thought . . . .
