However, regular R3 listeners will remember when La Klein presented a short lived Sunday morning show. Memorably she once admitted to an anathema towards Brahms, describing him variously as "stodgy" and "beery". Strange adjectives to use for the 3rd piano sonata; 4th symphony; 1st piano concerto; 1st piano trio; horn trio; the Requiem; the third violin sonata etc.....So, really, she shouldn't be within a million miles of this Brahmsfest.

Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostIt's funny, BBM, but, as with Liszt, (who exercised I think a not inconsiderable influence on R Strauss), I tend to go with those influenced one way or another by them - preferring Franck, Saint-Saens, Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakov and Busoni for what they managed to do with Liszt's innovations in form, harmony and orchestration; and in Strauss's case what Szymanowsky, Elgar and Bartok made out of his harmonic sense. In Liszt's case it's the ofttimes downright banality in some of the themes and the way this is thrown at the listener; and in that of Strauss a similar self-regarding pomposity. I also agree with Maurice Ohana in finding Strauss's scores too full of cholesterol; and with Schoenberg who said words to the effect that "Whatever I learned from Strauss" - and I guess he was speaking of harmonic inquisitiveness - "I quickly unlearned".Don’t cry for me
