Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.
@audio-b-dog, you are so right about Bach's Mass in B Minor. It's magnificent music. So much of what the man composed is magnificent. Are you hip to Haydn's "The Creation"? I love that oratorio. The man was playing his A game when he wrote that. I have four or five versions, but one stands far above the others. |

Love Haydn oratorios including “The Creation”. I recently listened to a favorite, “Il Ritorno di Tobias”. I usually prefer to leave audiophilic stuff out of music discussions, but as an aside, if forced to choose, my Dorati/Royal Phil double LP is probably my best sounding large ensemble orchestral recording. Love that recording. |
