Sunday night chat

Yes, it is indeed and one I love more with each hearing. Odd that this was the one Sibelius symphony that Karajan neither performed or recorded. I'm not sure if he had a particular aversion to it or didn't rate it but it's still odd. Bruckner 9 for me when things get on top of one.

I believe that the Berlin Phil. Had never played it until recently when Sir Simon conducted it with them recently.

You were a bit unlucky with Shaishee, Robbers. I was standing very near the winning post and you were only caught in the last couple of strides.

Never mind ,at least I got a decent return,enough for a couple of Weinberg cds.

Hope my moan about Opinion's win didn't come across as sour grapes.

Not at all Pet.

I've copied the various racing-based posts from Sunday Night chat to the Racing Thread - copied, mind, not moved, so that the former remains intact.

As Teamsaint said,the power of music is extraordinary,quite beyond comprehension.
I honestly believe that RVW's music keeps me sane.

That's me done.
Don't forget COTW this week,George Lloyd no less,you know it makes sense.

George lloyd, CoTW!?!?!? Cant wait for that!

I am listening... it's early Lloyd years, but I have yet to have my prejudices dashed of an essentially light music composer, blessed with occasional moments of originality and even brilliance, vitiated by lapses into what becomes other people's cliches and general cheesiness: the third symphony (on now) being an example.

(Cringes out of embarrassment and to avoid brickbats from the uncritical Britmusak brigade).

Yes, whilst noshing on lunch!

If I were to win the £157,000,000 jackpot on the Euromillions tomorrow I would commission Sir Simon and the Berlin Phil. to make new recordings of all of his symphonies!!!

I listened today at lunchtime (working from home),especially good to hear the operatic excerpt which was new to me.
No brickbats from me,I suppose people get something out of this music or they don't,I find it very rewarding.
I've heard the symphonies described as cliched and cheesy many times,I just don't hear it.

Well, you never know. Wonder how much it would cost for Sir Simon, The Berlin Phil and Abbey Road for a day...
