@mahgister I certainly do not insinuate I tell it as it is and if that is in one sentence then that is the way I am so please do not chide me for that. I do not partake in your musical contributions because I do not like You Tube clips because the quality is awful and also because some of the people the people you choose to highlight are not the type of people I care to listen to and if I did respond you would then be saying that I am getting at you for listing it. So be aware I list the truth as I see it and if you do not like it then as they say over here in Scotland "That's tough"
Classical Music for Aficionados
I would like to start a thread, similar to Orpheus’ jazz site, for lovers of classical music.
I will list some of my favorite recordings, CDs as well as LP’s. While good sound is not a prime requisite, it will be a consideration.
Classical music lovers please feel free to add to my lists.
Discussion of musical and recording issues will be welcome.
I’ll start with a list of CDs. Records to follow in a later post.
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Vanguard Classics — Vienna Festival Orch. Prohaska, conductor.
Prokofiev: Scythian Suite et. al. DG — Chicago Symphony Abbado, conductor.
Brahms: Symphony #1. Chesky — London Symph. Orch. Horenstein, conductor.
Stravinsky: L’Histoire du Soldat. HDTT — Ars Nova. Mandell, conductor.
Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Analogue Productions. — Dallas Symph Orch. Johanos, cond.
Respighi: Roman Festivals et. al. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
All of the above happen to be great sounding recordings, but, as I said, sonics is not a prerequisite.

Dont put the pathetic claim you wrote what you wrote because you dont listen youtube here where you haunted all youtube suggestions and comment them ... Dont put excuse and pretense in the place of apology and dont claim to the " truth" for yourself and everyone ... And dont excuse yourself or someone like the other Jim about an act which is irrational like bannning Russian music and promoting hate ... "so be aware i list the truth as i see it and if you dont like it then as they say in Quebec "that’s EASY"....Swallow it... No more comment...

Because we need peace and reason, and not hate or propaganda... I will suggest an interesting piece of choral music... He was the first Russian composer appointed to the Tsar court in 1779 for music after studying in Italia... His music is an ocean of grace and novelty , a perfect cross between italian splendour and Orthodox interiority.... I put the version here i like the most:

I am glad that you agree with me about peace and reason which are the most necessary things we must wish for... I will agree totally with your observation about GREED and will add thirst for power to the mix ... I accept what you say with your words that nobody tried to bully me... I cannot apologize for Russian music links though because i love Russian music and culture like i love Charles Ives the contemporary of Scriabin... This was my first post above, about these two contemporary geniuses which are expression of pure freedom in their two musical journey, before this "malentendu".... Charles Ives the american and Scriabin the Russian were brothers who dont know oner another separated by an ocean, but their art exploring the frontier between tonal/atonal among other common factors was their common endeavour... I wish you the best....
