Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth


I thought I hated Vivaldi, the Four Seasons especially, but then I heard an absolutely sublime recording.... sadly I don't remember who the composer or orchestra was.

That's why they call it "fine art" because it's easy to "un-fine" it.
BTW, did you mean "conductor or orchestra"?
Gaaaah!!! Yes, of course I meant conductor.

I have my headphones on listening to doctors on MSNBC discuss when to run to the hospital.  Sorry!
But what I mean is, there's a lot of other composers (checks, yes, I meant composer) whom I seem to tolerate a wide range of performances. I can't really tell what a great performance is vs. mediocre.

I can't even really tell you why Vivaldi recordings are good or bad... but man, my hears have a preference!!
