Classical Music for Aficionados

His Akhenaton is hypnotic and initiatic, transformative at the highest level...

In other words, it great if you have trouble falling asleep and want to take a quick nap.

I am surprized that you had  put a link to every musical works possible in classical and jazz, ANYTHING mixed, and all keep you awake, BUT save Glass?


Is it a closed club here, or a friendly place to discover something new?

I am astounded by the "cold" reaction here....

To say the least....


😁😊

By the way i will listen satyagraha of Philip Glass this night....

Is it necessary to call for a poll survey of the club before i post about it here?

I will wait for the people answers....Before writing my next post....

The problem if i like this work, is that i cannot review it in the jazz thread either at risk to put some asleep there also ..


😊

There is no need for you to take it personally , I am not slighting you I am only saying that I loath him and I don’t expect you to like all the music I like. You site Mozart , can you honestly say that Philip Glass’s music is as good as Mozart’s or to take it even farther Bach !
I will go on to say that no modern composer can equal or better the quality or consistently the amount of music both Mozart or Bach wrote. Oh by the way I do not have delicate tastes I have been playing diverse musical instruments for many years. When I was young I played Bagpipes in a pipe band until I was twenty and at the same time I played classical guitar for 40 years along with the Renaissance Lute until my 60s when diabetes robbed me of my feeling in my fingers thereby making me stop playing and causing massive depressions for a number of years because it had robbed me of my greatest pleasure . I think I have earned the right to loathe one or two modern composers. Oh and I have listened to them as I have an enquiring mind and Qobuz and I still don't like them. Do not get me started on Stockhausen.

Hey, in this semi-modern era it's easy to search down whatever piece of music you're curious about and give it a couple minutes listen. I'm not saying, of course, that it's 100% okay to judge Glass or his generously scaled opera entirely from a brief encounter, but it will lend you at least a glimpse of the sound world that Glass creates. If you find that world to be inviting (and I'm confident you will), dip your toe in a bit more.
