Except that while other composers did try to follow (Copland did also) it never really had the musical acceptance of Stravinsky.

NP : THE LARK ASCENDING - Ralph Vaughan Williams
Beyond words beautiful.
Anyone here watch BBC 2's 'The Culture Show' on Tuesday where this piece was discussed by famous violinists? An eye opener that gave me even more respect ( if that's possible ) for a piece that I consider one of the greatest in our history.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP : THE ESSENTIAL Philip Glass
One of those taster albums. No point in recommending this unless your a Glass fan because you'll already have the pieces featured on other albums.

NP: Piano Concerto - Edvard Grieg
Got this for my last birthday. Great stuff! I had originally seen my local orchestra perform this in concert, and was blown away. The third movement is by far my favorite of the three. -

NP : STARS END - David Bedford
An old favourite of mine, music that is perfect as a description of the infinite void of space. The Royal Philharmonic conducted by Vernon Handley with Mike Oldfield on electric and bass guitars ( believe me, it works, boy does it work! ), I'd be intrigued to know how many here at this board would enjoy this? It would not be everyones cup of tea.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Symphony No 7 - Beethoven
I don't know if I heard a snippet of it on tv or something but I've had this running through my head for two days and had to listen to it. I think a Vienna Philharmonic recording of this (and the 4th) conducted by Bernstein was the first classical CD I ever bought and it's still one of my favourites. -

A Sense Of Purpose In Flames
Their new 2008 album. Probably not everyone's cup of tea! This is an awesome album though, much more melodic than their previous albums and the singing isn't so much reliant on screaming. This is the kind of In Flames I've been waiting for! -

It took me ages to find out where that music came from. I remember watching the closing ceremony of the 92 Olympics with Theodorakis music playing and being blown away by it but not being able to find any information out at all. I had to wait for the advent of the internet.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -
