What the heck, I Downloaded Verdi's Requiem to give Verdi another try, always liked Othello, but it's been years.

What the hell, I might listen to Mozart tonight...on second thought, no, I'm not that desperate yet. :)

Wimp!
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

If it's any consolation, I expect never to be desperate enough to listen to Delius (d/b/a The Poor Man's Debussy) ; )

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

What the h..., I've been listening to Carl Czerny lately!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OCM3MY/

Symphonies nos 1 & 5, Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt conducted by Nikos Athinäos.
Despite the rather one-dimensional approach and interpretation, I rather enjoyed it.

Glad you like it, Paul!

And for the important question: what does Kimi think?

"This is no Mahler!" is her reaction. But she did not dislike it. In fact I think she liked it OK. It is just that she loves Mahler so much (and Beethoven just below Mahler) that she measures everything to Mahler.

I do hope I don't get shot for this, but the composer I like least...


...is Chopin. (Second is Arvo Part)

Do I have to listen to both??!

Only if you posted this on a Thursday in a year ending in an odd number! :) Seriously, with Chopin, I do find that the person playing can have a major impact on my enjoyment sometimes. Maybe you just need to try someone else playing? Who have you heard?
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Now, if Arvo Part would only compose a "Repetitive Chant on a Theme of Chopin".
