The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

You may be interested to know that “Dance to the Music” is one of only two or three Pop or Funk songs to feature the clarinet (!). Great stuff!

Mozart 35 / Bohm

I have that CD.  One of my favorite conductors.  His Beethoven's 9th with Norman and Domingo is my favorite performance of that symphony.  Probably because it is as slow as molasses in the winter time.

Cheers.
