I remember when we did!  Do you remember?  Certain posters were downvoted to oblivion no matter what they said.  I've never seen Rob kill a feature so fast!

Quote from: LKB on November 25, 2023, 06:45:27 AMIf you're referring to the EMI recording of the organ version with Ledger & Co., I would most definitely support your choice - it's the only version l've ever owned. Between the atmospheric recording, tonal beauty of Ledger's King's College Choir and the pleading radiance of Dame Janet ( plus the Cello soloist whose name I've regretfully forgotten ), the recording approaches ( imho ) perfection.

Yep, that's the one.   :)

Fauré Pavane

Favorite version: Barenboim conducting the choral version with the Berlin Phil
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"

An Impromptu by Schubert. Modest choice, but really some very fine music.

Samuel Barber, Second Essay for Orchestra - absolute youth sentiment, 'discovered' when I was 15.
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948
