It's a vast domain and subject for everyone here... Just enjoy your own collection, your discoveries that you pick up here, stay with them or not, revisit them whenever you like, at your own pace... that's your hobby to treat as you see fit ;)
I for one, thanks to our beloved forum, found out that there's actually a whole lot of people who do not consider Britain das Land ohne Musik. ;)
A learner. I explore the threads that I think will expand my knowledge and understanding of great music.
I am not interested in trying to impress others by listing my fourteen favorite recording of the Johnson Bagpipe Concerto.

That's a lousy concerto, to begin with. Try Smith's
Cymbalom Concerto. :laugh:

Im dunkeln Laub kein Gold-Orangen glühn,
Kein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht,
Kein Myrte still und hoch der Lorbeer steht?
Kennst du es wohl?Who said German is complicated? Even in poetry you can preserve rhyme and rythm and yet turn it into its polar opposite just by modifying the article. :D

The Johnson concerto is a dudd, but Kevin Weed's is a beauty!

Actually, it was just incomplete punctuation:
Das Land ohne Musik, wo kein' Zitronen blühn,
Im dunkeln Laub kein' Gold-Orangen glühn,
Kein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht,
Kein' Myrte still und hoch der Lorbeer steht?

Ah! But that can be bettered:

Pronouncing with my punctuation preserves the original German. Pronouncing with your punctuation turns the whole thing into Dutch. ;D

Actually more into Low Saxon, my mother tongue. In Dutch it would look like:
Ken je dat land zonder muziek, waar geen citroenen bloeien,
In het donkere gebladerte geen gouden sinaasappels gloeien,
Geen zachte wind uit de blauwe hemel suist,
Geen myrte stil staat en geen laurier hoog?
Ken je dat wel?

tei, meaning lime tree.)

Okay, enough thread derailing, let's get back on topic.
Wait, what't the topic again? :)
See the quiz
My role here is similar to that of a visitor to a reference library. I find one or two of the staff and other visitors are kind of bad tempered and a few more could do with going outside once in a while, but that's a small price to pay for having such a breadth of knowledge made easily accessible.
It would be cool if the forum contained a punch bag - a heavy bag - and gloves and wraps for the real men (and women) members, but also in the pursuit to be inclusive provide some big beanbags and a blanky for any forum babby who needs a nap after someone disagrees with them.
That's about it, although I'll just add that my hands are always clean - both sides - whenever I visit.
