Title: Greetings from Louisiana
Post by: stephen_pomes on May 05, 2020, 06:47:36 PM
Hi Everyone,

My name is Steve.  I'm a professional librarian, and I've had a longstanding interest in classical music for over 40 years. 

Some of my favorite composers include Tchaikovsky, Bartok, Beethoven, Schoenberg, Webern, Berg, Haieff, Waxman, Herrmann, Rozsa, Bach, and Rachmaninoff.

I look forward to discussing various composers and their works.

Steve

Hello, Steve!

I was a librarian in some small period of my life at end of 80s.

Welcome, Steve! Great sheaf of composers there; This week, I was talking to a friend of mine in Binghamton about Herrmann's score to the Twilight Zone episode, "Walking Distance," and listening to vintage Doráti recordings of Bartók!

Hello and welcome aboard. I was a librarian for two orchestras in the '70s. Can be a thankless job at times.

Even more belated welcome, and interesting to see all the librarians declaring themselves - here's another one (although sadly not at the moment).  And I'm certainly with you in a love of Bartók, Bach and the Second Viennese school.  Do post again!
