Which composers do you associate with which GMG members?

[Lady Chatterley]

There is a "homey" feel to CBC 2, as it tries to unify classical listeners from Pacific to Atlantic.  I picked it up in Toledo quite often: the music tends toward conservatism and lesser-known British composers (Parry, Harty, etc.), but there are a few times where more experimental are things are heard. Obviously Canadian composers get some air time!

That's right,they also have a request program in the mornings and the listeners choose terrific stuff I would never otherwise know about.CBC radio 2 website has concerts on demand ,fantastic!

His funeral, on 16 January at Westminster Abbey, proved a controversial occasion: Hardy, his family and friends had wished him to be buried at Stinsford in the same grave as his first wife, Emma. However, his executor, Sir Sydney Carlyle Cockerell, insisted he be placed in the abbey's Poets' Corner. A compromise was reached whereby his heart was buried at Stinsford with Emma, and his ashes in Poets' Corner.

yucky!

[Lady Chatterley]

yucky!

Paganini was not buried for years after his death,he was enbalmed (they had just invented the process) and then carted around Europe by his son who begged the Catholic Church to allow the violinist to
be interred in consecrated ground.

Jurgen Gothe's afternoon show is one of the best, strangest things under the sun! I listened daily while I lived in Detroit. I still remember his challenge to Canadian composers to write a "Canadian Four Seasons", where Spring, Summer, and Fall are all exceptionally sweet, beautiful, and evocative, but only a minute long each, and then Winter comes along and spends twenty minutes making you want to shoot yourself.

Brian, that's a challenge I'd take up, only I'm a Southron 

[Kullervo]

Good old Corey. I'd have never spotted that.

Well, I'm not as old as I sometimes feel.

Actually, vandermolen, tjguitar or Dundonell (spelling?) probably deserve Rubbra.

I think it's interesting that Mark associated me with Rubbra, because I'm not really that familiar with his work!


I'm also sad to see that Mark has disappeared.

[Ugh!]

Stravinsky: '

[Florestan]

Karl Henning with himself.

[Karl Henning]

Hey, me, too!

[TheGSMoeller]

Uh, Daniel with Mahler?

In fact, if I ever met Daniel in person, I wouldn't believe it was him if he didn't look like his avatar.

[Karl Henning]

Yah, I'll bet he's not even half mad in real life . . . .

[Karl Henning]

James with John Cage.

[TheGSMoeller]

James with John Cage.

He might argue that.

[TheGSMoeller]

Gurn with George Crumb?

[Florestan]

James with John Cage.

Gurn with Wagner and Henning with Telemann...

[Karl Henning]

He might argue that.

He wouldn't argue, but he'd suggest, if you read carefully and think about it a little . . . .
