TItle: I Giorni (The Days)

Not all classical composers are dead Europeans. Ludovico Einaudi is a year younger than me.

Won't take long. He'll be de-composing soon enough.

Title: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Composer: Mendelssohn

This is just brilliant. Thank you.

No matter the religious theme this just beautiful and heroic,

There have been some amazing inspired works of religion like Norte Dame Cathedral and this and there's also a good deal that depicts man as a subhuman piece of nothing.

In any case, this isn't one of them. Wow!!

To the highest in mankind.

Title: Hungarian Dance No. 5
Composer: Brahms



I was once told that when it came to classical music, there were the three Bs - Beethoven, Bach and Brahms - and that everyone else was at least one tier below.

Well, I don't think that's true, and as I became more familiar with classical music I expanded my horizons and listened to many other composers. And I never really listened to much of Brahms's music.

I've always thought of him and Beethoven in the same terms as Steve Young and Joe Montana.

But Steve Young was pretty good in his own right, I think.

Brilliant. Saw La Traviata with my ex wife in '99 at the Wang Center. Good stuff.
