Nothing wrong with Rakastava. I did say with a I missed your added association after reading your initial comment.
Clearly there is only one 'written' rule - BBM's stricture of 'classical music only' (the hint in the thread title). But I've been analysing what makes a 'successful' association, which isn't the most obscure or impossible to guess. It's the one with one 'hidden' link only.
So Mass of Life > Glinka A Life for the Tsar, no hidden link. Workmanlike.
Mass of Life > La Bohème, one hidden link (via Scènes de la Vie de Bohème). Okay.
Mass of Life > Così fan tutte (via Scènes de la Vie de Bohème > Henri Murger > Le Roman de toutes les femmes). Too obscure.
So, paradoxically, it's the simple but ingenious "I'd never have thought of that" that is, in my view, the most enjoyable.
My favourite so far because it brought an instant smile was bsp's: Enescu Œdipe > Brett Dean Hamlet (but I liked vinteuil's Heinrich > Dives and Lazarus).It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment
