Another:One of my favorite composer... the Scriabin of the human voices.... He wrote like Scriabin not to move the human heart only but to make it more vast and livelier... Monteverdi use his art to express all there is, he create opera, but Gesualdo sometimes tear the human heart in two parts...One who suffers and the other who recreate.... Thanks for the magnificent unknown to me French interpretation... |

If you want to know if your system is good acoustically... Listen to the voices surrounding you in this magnificent recording...A studio recording where the singers walk and plays together, one can hear when they turn their head singing... in some part the voices come from behind my back... The interpretation is in german inimitable... One of my loved modern opera....With the Busoni Faust.... The soul of an era.... Kurt weill with Lotte Lenya the best recording of the three pennies opera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR33bL5aNTk&t=850s |
HI-FI FIEDLER Boston Pops Orchestra - Arthur Fiedler RCA Living Stereo SACD Recorded in 1956, 1958 and 1960 This man did as much as anyone to popularize Classical Music. Always came across as, ’this should be fun’. It was for everyone to enjoy, not just the self-appointed ’elites’. Worked in my case. His cover art and musical selections said it all. Some say, ’light’ Classics, I say, ’the good stuff’.
