The Eight Composers you couldn't Live Without. 8 only, no additions,no other rules

[Beef Oven!]

Swop both of them for Dikmik

I beg your pardon

[salymap]

JS Bach
Schubert
Wagner
Verdi
Sibelius
Stravinsky
Shostakovich
Messiaen

There's a rather surprising absence of Mozart from these lists?

I chose Mozart and if we were limited to one it would be him.

There's an idea for tomorrow

[teamsaint]

I beg your pardon

isn't that a party game?

I like the idea of your favourite eleven, set out in 4-4-2.....subs allowed, but just one like the old days.

[Bryn]

Feldman, Xenakis, Ives, Smith (Dave), Barrett, Sibelius, Bartok, Cage.

They will do for the moment (B&B being taken as understood).

[Dave2002]

Well judging by the apparent lack of interest in the actual Radio 3 content on these message boards at the moment, we might just as well be ...

Fair comment, though I did rather like the Bloch Schelomo this afternoon. Not a piece I normally enjoy much at all. Somehow it came to life.

I also enjoyed the Mozart C minor mass from Thursday morning - though I possibly preferred my revisiting of the work in the version by Paul McCressh.
Although I have played music by Chaminade, I have found trying to listen to a few hours of that over the week (COTW) rather hard to take.

(In the spirit of jean's Eton Choir Book) The 16thC Spanish vihuelists and early guitarists - a collection of printed music I couldn't do without
Dowland
Byrd
Bach
Beethoven
Bruckner
Liszt
Wagner

I've got Nielsen, Simpson and Bartok out on loan too.

surely Nielsen and Bartok would be cheap European imports, and thus not sent out on loan?

Simpson would have to go out to somewhere like Oldham.....

Simpson's typical - starring role in the England U21s on Wednesday night, doesn't even figure in his club's line up on Saturday afternoon. Our English lads don't get a look-in

[mangerton]

Sticking strictly to saly's rules, though I do like jean's idea of theetonchoirbook, and in alphabetical order:

Bach (would be my number one in any case)
Byrd
Handel
Messiaen
Mozart
Purcell
Tallis
Vaughan Williams

[makropulos]

Eight - this is actually impossible! But here goes:

Bach
Brahms
Elgar
Janacek
Mozart
Schumann
Vaughan Williams
Wagner

[BBMmk2]

Bach
Elgar
Beethoven
RVW
Mahler
Shostakovich
Rachmaninov
Tchaikovsky

Mozart becomes ever more important to me, too, Saly. I think I could be satisfied with just 'the miracle that God allowed to be born in Salzburg'.

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh yes, and Brahms and Schumann.

B*gger. I need Schumann too



This is hellish, saly !

[Anna]

And, so far, only two of us for Purcell? I find that rather odd.
