hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, David. :)
It's your friend, Greg. :)
You remember me? :)
Teehee... :)
I have a message for you:
Ubloobideega!, bom BOM BOM!
Do not team up with Ubloobideega in the future. This is planet Neptune saying, "Be forewarned about the past in the netherfuture."
And then I exploded.
Cereal tastes good. You eat cereal? You know, I think they should make cereal out of oil and clay. You like oil and clay, David? I think they taste mighty fine, but I won't them in public because people don't have sophisticated taste, sheesh! ::)
bom BOM BOM!
like a drum... Ha HA!
comedy... it doesn't work any more.
That's because golden carpets.
You know, once I had a fish and that fish ate rats and those rats ate mice and then I played video games and I almost spelled "video" as "veoh," which is a website where you watch videos, and that is such as coincidence, but actually it isn't because it just sounds similar and something something something fish grass seawater poop rabbits lala whatever bubblegum power pink pop attitude.

Which is your favourite of his, David? Mine would be either 6,7 or 9. As you can see, I love the later symphonies in particular. :)

Well, I have just to admit that I'm rather surprised about how much Mahler is adored in this forum; definitely no problem though, he's also one of my absolute favourite composers. ;)

But I will tell you that you are apparently confusing two different parables: the lost son was not physically dead, but just lost, as our DavidW. It was Lazarus who rose from the death. ;)

Maybe I had to add: "apart from Mirror Image" :P But I think you've appreciated some of Mahler's symphonies John, at least one/two, or it is only a conviction created by my unconscious?
Mahler Industries has been hard at work, for decades, on re-branding The Neurotic Austrian : )

Oh, well certainly I like Mahler's 5th a lot. Some may not care much for it but I think it holds up well. I like the 7th a lot too. The 9th is pretty darn good too. I particularly like that last movement
Adagio. Very powerful. But in all honesty, Mahler just isn't a composer that hits me the same way Ravel, Bartok, Shostakovich, Vaughan Williams, Villa-Lobos, etc. does. I don't know what it is that I don't like about the music but I just don't find it compelling and it just doesn't ignite much interest from me. It's really one of those unexplainable things. It's kind of like why doesn't Holmboe's music touch me? Why doesn't Schnittke appeal to me when his style is so fascinating? I don't know why, I just know that I don't like the aesthetic of it. Does any of this make any sense?

Yes, it's not so simple to explain, though I may understand; something similar happens to me as well, especially with the Italian composers of opera: I may listen to their works, I might appreciate what I hear, but I'm not brought to listen to more and I'm not interested in knowing that music better, it's not attractive and powerful enough.

That's great; what about the symphonies?
Mahler wrote symphonies?
