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.

You've got it. That works too. Maria Callas appears in perhaps 30 seconds. I must admit, she's wonderful to watch.

On another topic, I saw in the Jazz Aficianados thread people talking about Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders (maybe?), screaming and wailing with their horns. I have Pharoah with Leon Thomas on the album Karma playing "The Creator Has a Master Plan." In the middle Pharoah goes wild with his sax and for me it is a wonderful resolution and very spiritual. On the other hand, I have heard Pharoah and Coltrane playing long duets where they are "screaming" together. That feels like pain to me. And there is only so much of that pain I can take. So, I don't get through the track. Am I missing tsomething?

Very strange.  With either link I get the Latvian National Opera and the soprano is Dinara Alieva.  Go figure!  

Curious, could someone else try those links and report what they get?  Thanks!
