This one is mainly aimed at you, San Antone...

Bernstein's Mass vs. Duruflé's Requiem

[San Antone]

Debussy --- no contest

This one is mainly aimed at you, San Antone...

Bernstein's Mass vs. Duruflé's Requiem

Oh no - this is really hard.

I'd have to go with the Duruflé Requiem.

Miles Davis vs. John Coltrane

[Mirror Image]

Oh no - this is really hard.

I'd have to go with the Duruflé Requiem.

Miles Davis vs. John Coltrane

Miles Davis --- for me, he's one of most significant figures in jazz and he's done so much stylistically

Wagner's Ring Cycle vs Wagner's Tristan und Isolde

[Symphonic Addict]

Wagner's Ring Cycle without hesitation.

Regarding Mozart:

Piano sonatas vs Violin Sonatas

[Mirror Image]

Wagner's Ring Cycle without hesitation.

Regarding Mozart:

Piano sonatas vs Violin Sonatas

Piano sonatas, but, honestly, this match-up doesn't really make much sense since violin sonatas are generally thought of as violin and piano. So it's not really a fair match-up, but I guess that's the fun of it.

Poulenc's chamber music vs. Ravel's chamber music

[Symphonic Addict]

Ravel's chamber music

Latin-American composers vs Nordic composers

Ravel's chamber music

Latin-American composers vs Nordic composers

Damn, Cesar! You did it to me again! I might just have to flip a coin on this one...

Okay, the coin landed on heads, so that was Latin American composers. But honestly, I could've just called out banana on this one.

Rimsky-Korsakov vs. Mussorgsky

Rimsky-Korsakov vs. Mussorgsky

I have more affinity for Nordic composers truth be told, but I can't live without both groups either.

Rimsky-Korsakov (by a large margin!)

Ormandy vs Haitink

[LKB]

Haitink ( Though not happily as l cut my teeth on some of Ormandy's recordings. )

London Philharmonic Orchestra

vs.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

[MusicTurner]

I guess Concertgebouw Orkest. A very wide recorded repertoire too. And the LPO did a lot of uninteresting cross-over/pop.


Slippery path vs roller skates
