Jed Distler really enjoyed this, so I'll give it a try. George Emmanuel Lazaridis plays three of my favorite Schubert solo piano works.

This is lovely.

Les préludes

My traversal through Wagner's operas, previously stuck on The Flying Dutchman (and hence not much of a traversal), continues with Tannhäuser (Barenboim).

[ZauberdrachenNr.7]

Listening to Sinfonietta. Such a masterpiece and fantastic performance from Mackerras/VPO.

Concur on both points.  In fact, some pounding of the table can be heard and then muffled moaning...damage to hand inflicted from said pounding.

[San Antone]

My traversal through Wagner's operas, previously stuck on The Flying Dutchman (and hence not much of a traversal), continues with Tannhäuser (Barenboim).

I'm also going through Wagner's oeuvre, but in loosely reverse chronological order.  I began with Tristan and then went on to Parsifal.  Next up is Die Meistersinger, Lowengrin, Lohengrin, etc.

When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie,
That's amore


One of Ives most uncharateristic songs
