Didn't Mozart wear his red coat at the concerts where he was performing?

[Brian]

An apt disc: Borodins playing Borodins

[listener]

LEBRUN: Oboe Concerto 1 in d
DITTERSDORF: Oboe Concerto in G
SALIERI: Triple Concerto for Violin, Oboe and Cello in D
Heinz Holliger, oboe   Thomas Füri, violin     Thomas Demenga, cello
Camerata Bern    Füri cond.
more pleasant than listening to Holliger playing Holliger
VILLA-LOBOS:  Symphony no.6 "On the Outline of the Mountains of Brazil"
Ruda 'God of Love' - symphonic poem and ballet
Slovak Radio Orch. -Bratislava     Roberto Duarte, cond.

[The new erato]

Re Brian's post, I think Los Lobos should play Villa Lobos.

A splendid recording. Listening to 3 Small Tone Poems. It's been awhile since I've heard this work.

Oh what the heck, I'll try this CD too!

She judges these performances by seeing who does the best HEY-YA!

Is there any other way?

Chants d'Auvergne with Anna Moffo from this set. My already high regard for Stokowki is ever increasing.

Great! Let me know your impressions of the music, Brian.

Not my cup of tea yet. Too boring and dainty. Now I'm listening to incredibly silly ballets by Knudage Riisager. I think I need to detox with something serious and loud and Germanic.

Textbook critique of Delius' music. Boring, dainty, meandering...blah blah blah.

Well, obviously, that's because I read the textbook. How to Not Like Delius: Critical Readings: 2nd edition, revised and expanded, from the Johns Hopkins University Press.

Trying to get that out of my head led me to this intricate flashmob, courtesy of the Vienna Volksoper.

And this rather kitschy film version by Ponnelle in which Orff himself was allegedly involved.  The production values are curiously low, and it may actually require more brain bleach than Nav's contribution.

ETA: They aren't.  What am I doing wrong? 
To get the videos look for "Carmina Burana flashmob" and "Carmina Burana Ponnelle" on Youtube,

My only hope is you keep listening. The subtlety of his music is one of the key aspects of it. Also, please visit the Delius thread and read about the composer's life. Here, hopefully, you'll gain some more insight into the composer. There are many moments of Delius that are downright hair-raising, but you've just got to keep listening my friend.
