Let us relish in the bombast . . .

Enjoyed both these very well, although to be fair, there just was not a lot of bombast, not enough to spook a chipmunk.

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Another bombastic moment in Shostakovich's oeuvre:

But you wrote 200 of them, James?   :P

No, no, the Havergal Brian thread now stretches to 340 pages, and within an hour or two it's bound to swell to about 350.

And who could forget the uber-bombastic third movement, Largo, from Symphony No. 5? I know I can't forget as it's still pounding my head right now. ;)
