Composer Discussion / Re: Mahler Mania, Rebooted
Last post by LKB - Today at 07:45:19 PMThe Ninth is neither abyssal nor a school outing ( though Putzi is certainly referenced ).
As to what the Ninth actually is, though, final definitions still elude me despite my deliberating over the course of some forty years.
Perhaps that's merely a hallmark of all great works of art: Transcending the perceptual limits of any one individual. Otoh, it may be that I'm simply incapable of getting my head all the way around the Symphony. I certainly won't discount that possibility, since I'm smart enough to know how dumb l can be.

Last post by LKB - Today at 07:14:58 PMThis is actually neither unimportant nor particularly surprising, but it's definitely news:

Last post by Mookalafalas - Today at 06:50:12 PMQuote from: JBS on April 17, 2024, 07:29:47 PMIf you're in the mood for more, there's a whole series he did, including a second CD with Rampal which I assume is also in that box
I look forward to playing the other disk, but will probably not pursue others--although, that could change...

The Diner / Re: Reaction Videos
Last post by LKB - Today at 05:59:33 PMSo, when is a repost not a repost?
Perhaps when additional content is included. In this case, Cassie's engaging re-upload with four episodes from season two of TNG:

Composing and Performing / Re: Henning's Headquarters
Last post by Cato - Today at 05:57:37 PMQuote from: Karl Henning on Today at 11:01:23 AMI've made free to vent when I've felt discouraged by all the Calls which come up empty, e.g. so I want to counterbalance that with how deeply gratified I am that four colleagues here in the Ensemble are such enthusiastic supporters of my work. Especially the newcomers Dan and Dave. I have no monetary inducement to attract them, they basically allowed themselves to be recruited through Peter's fervent advocacy on my music's behalf.
In one of Josef von Eichendorff's novels (Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts), a character mentions that the true Volksmusik is played by a member of "the Folk," (i.e. not aristocrats) for the love of the music itself.
That would seem to be what we have here!
