I find the works of Alan Hovhaness to be very satisfying. I read somewhere that he destroyed a great many of his compositions, it would be interesting to know his total output of music.

Haven't heard of Hanson

Anybody caught their US tour last year? I saw them in Chicago, and was really disappointed with Rattle. The orchestra sounded fantastic, but Rattle's Brahms was bland and fluffy, lacking rythmic tension. Although the quality of playing was very high (as I would expect nothing less from this great o...

A great performance of a great work moves me deeply. A not so great performance makes me frustrated that potential greatness was not achieved, and I usually blame the person in charge (i.e. the conductor). For me, greatness is both an objective (collective) opinion and a very personal one, dependin...

Another "greatness" debate? Woo hoo!! No - not really. I have been involved in internet discussion on music since around the late '90s and have seen that one go around and around like a stuck record.

Happy Birthday, Antonin!

I too, love his Serenade For Strings. I find his work to be very listener friendly, while it is complex, he used rather simple but very nice melodies.

Lately, it seems like the whole world want me to discover the music of Khachaturian (espicially some recent comments by my bud Trilogy 8) ). It is available for 9.99 CDN dollars and I thought that it may be a good place to start. Do you guys recommand these cds for a starter on Khachaturian ? Your ...

Now you see, upon me the effect is the opposite. When I hear someone tout an obvious 2nd- or 3rd-rater like Khatchaturian as "the greatest composer of the century," it sets the BS-meter ringing, and as a result I for one do not have any additional interest in Khatchaturian . Friend Trilogy , no one...
