Early June was Dvorak. June/July has been Bruckner. What's next?

I'll start:
Karl Amadeus Hartmann

I think he'll surprise us. My guess: Ditters von Dittersdorf. MI and 71dB will have a grand old time together recommending and discussing Ditters' recordings.

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

LEIF SEGERSTAM!!!

Imagine showing friends 16 feet of CD's and saying: "I own all 297 1/2 symphonies of Leif Segerstam !!!"   8) 8) 8)

I'd say either Prokofiev or Shostakovich will be my next avatar. I should really flip a coin here. Heads = Prokofiev, Tails = Shostakovich.

Ah, but I did have K. A. Hartmann as an avatar before and he's certainly a favorite of mine. Love that Germanic Expressionistic angst. :) I believe this is the photo I used for my Hartmann avatar:

Have I told you that a descendant of his was one my students?  She only had one "n" in the last name, but her face - complete with those large eyes - told me that she had to be related.

She had no idea, however, that any composer named Karl Amadeus Hartmann was actually her great-great-grandfather. :D

There is also the slight chance that the coin will land on its side.

If that's the case then Dvorak will become my avatar. ;)

I guess he will reach Monteverdi in May 2019 and Machaut by summer 2020.

Hah!!
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.
