Hello all from Verona, Italy !

I read this forum for quite some time ... and I always thought it was magnificently structured, and also frequented by many passionate and competent people. I finally decided to participate.

In life my interests are knowledge, art music, visual arts, art cinema, reading, science, philosophy and thinking, ...
But everything passionate me, so i love also "low" things.

I'm listening to music since i was born, a consuming passion.
I loved and love many composers, clearly listenings and insights always continue, but few are those for whom i have an obsessive interest ! Among them especially Sergey Prokofiev and Alfred Schnittke (i don't have never recovered from the shock of listening to his Peer Gynt, one of the things i love intensely ...)

I'm here mainly for companionship and exchange of interests.

I think that's all for now.

I'd like to think we're all magnificent too. And how are the two gentlemen and Romeo + Juliet doing these days?

A very warm welcome !!

I love your home town Verona, which is quite special for me in two respects
1) For opera lovers, its summer festival is a real treat.
2) Its very close from the Dolomites, my favorite mountain range in Europe.

Welcome aboard! Can't go wrong with Prokofiev or Schnittke (two of my favorites). Speaking of Schnittke's Peer Gynt, I created a thread dedicated to this magnificent ballet: http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,25167.msg918925.html#msg918925, so please feel free to come back and share your own listening experiences with us.

I hope you enjoy your time here! 8)

;) All are fine here in Verona, beautiful city !
By the way, another ballet that I really love is Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev, but it's obvious, is a masterpiece.

Thank you.
I'm also a fan of Grieg but I have not yet read the work of Ibsen, hope to remedy soon.

Hi ! I noticed your review on Amazon, as well as that thread. I knew I had to come to write something  ;)
I discovered Schnittke's Peer Gynt in the early nineties, then it was not so "popular", YT did not exist, i think.
For me it was a revelation, and since then it's one of my desert island records, an experience of extraordinary intensity.
As soon as i feel, i'll write something in your thread. I understand your enthusiasm  :)

I hope you enjoy the site and hang around.  Much Roman ruins there in your town?
When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."
