Mozart Fans Only

Kmcarthy, Schuberts op 99 and 100 trios are true wonderworks of music, no other works I'm aware of ride the very peaks of human emotion for that long while maintaining
such complete harmonic and melodic integrity.

I once heard Arthur Rubenstein say Schubert's op 161 Pn Quintet was the most lovely piece ever written and he wanted it played at his funeral.

One of my great moments was when I visited the Vienna Central Cemetery and discovered Schubert was buried right next to Brahms. Almost wanted to die right on the spot to see if I could hear their conversation. (no joke)

I love the quintet, D. 956 (but among those who've heard it, who doesn't?)

It's what I imagine the first moments in heaven would be like.
Absolutely otherworldy.

Very well put Tostadosunidos.

Renee Fleming... just did the national anthem at the SB the way it should be done, maybe for the first time ever there. Maybe there is hope....

Personally I could have done without the two "modded" "virtuoso" moments. Just sing it straight and don't add anything. But it was a refreshing change from the garbage we've been hearing in recent years. A singer, singing--imagine that. Good idea!
