    I much prefer late-romantic/20th Century orchestral music. Much better than Classical!


    So basically what you're saying is that you prefer Classical music over Classical music? tongue

    Same here, dark stuff.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  1. I am into Classical in minor key, 19th Century and 20th Century and singular Baroque works. Also into Gregorian chants.

    Oh, and how can the instrumentation etc be dated?


    You're right, my wording was poor.
    What I meant was the production: the gain on the guitar, the mixing of the percussion. That sort of thing. shame


    Well, it was early 70's, top notch at the time.

    Do you know he re-recorded it!?

    No worries either. I am not into Mozart apart his symphony no 40, 41, the mass and the requiem, i.e. the only works that contain minor scales as well, instead of the 24/24 fluffy major scales' storm.


    You and I have precisely the same taste in Mozart! beer

    NP: POWRACAJACE FALE...Mieczyslaw Karlowicz
    What a wonderful find for me. He died at 33 so his catalog is all to small. Take Tchaikovsky, Strauss, and Wagner and you've got an idea what he is like. Definitely an interesting tone poem.

    NP : THE ESSENTIAL - Mark King



    Great funky solo album from Level 42 frontman King.

    Is King one of the worlds most phenomenal bass players? Is the Pope catholic?! The album notes quite rightly claim the album is recorded in "real time", just as well because the speed of some of this guys slap playing is inhuman shocked cool

    A wonderful work that evokes the feel of much older classical music but with such freshness and zest and so damn catchy and melodic.

    NP: THE GREEN BIRD (Elliot Goldenthal)

    Another of G's concert works (a cast recording, to be more exact). Small ensemble, Elliot's own groaning voice. A less gritty version of JUAN DARIEN, if you will.

    Really doesn't sound like my cuppa?

    Do you actually enjoy / like this work Thor or is it more just part of being a Goldenthal completist?

    Oh, I enjoy it alright, although some of his most harsh work (like the brass quintet) is a tough nut to get through. If I should recommend any of his concert works to you, though, it would have to be the OTHELLO ballet. Has a very programmatic feel, and ranges from the achingly beauitful to the powerful and muscular, such as the 10-minute tour-de-force "Tarantella". But perhaps you own this already.

    Yes I have Othello and like it.

    I would have to hear the other work, I'm used to "getting" awkward music but I'm still picky and would have to hear it first.
