Greatest turnoffs - 1 Tuneless minimalst, head-hurting Reich, Glass et al. 2 Bolero - I suppose every composer has one turkey but why oh why did this genius do this one? 3 Vibrato-laden, unpleasant sounding vocal performances. 4 Many operas 45 secs after the overture has finished, often because of 3!Comment

Totally with you on 1, 2 and 4Originally posted by barber olly View Post
But at 3, in place of Bolero, I'd put most of Liszt's output (save for a handful of his more thoughtful and/or lyrical piano pieces)."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Yup, a pair of absolute Cs, Cellini...

You seem to have confounded poor Cellini with that cloth-eared Caliban, Roehre.
