Franz Schubert Songs Without Words

Ah Grass, we are perfectly in tune, I really get angry when I hear that classical music is relaxing. Beethoven's Seventh is an example, but also the first movement of Mahler's Sixth or even the Eighth, the finale of Brahms's First, and the same quartet "Death and the Maiden" mentioned... and one could go on for a long time. Identifying relaxation with classical music is a real nonsense. Bye :)

Beethoven's Seventh is a treasure of music; it must be handled with care, but there’s no rush. As for Mahler, I growl—his Fourth is absolutely stunning. The review of the Fifth has been ready for a while, it will come. The Sixth—yes, it’s at extremely high levels—it's worth truly contemplating. Thx Gale, Pacino, Josi, and Trell, bye.

Vic, the seventh? The apotheosis of dance? I thought no one would come up with that; I still haven't written anything, but I've been thinking about it for months, always pondering the same adjective: dionysian. I guess that means I'll return to Mahler's Fourth. Bye.

I, on the other hand, appreciate symphonies too, even though I prefer other composers in this regard; I have a visceral passion for Mahler and Beethoven's Seventh. But Schubert's chamber music ... ah ... I don't find it decadent; he's a romantic. Hey Zion, maybe the next album might interest you more, bye :)

An image with an autumn flavor, Nick, but the record is even more beautiful; I think you might like it, think about it :) By the way, it just came to my mind that Maisky and Hovora later recorded a similar disc, but dedicated to Brahms' lieder, though it doesn't have the same charm as this one.

"Wag the Dog" is a... how should I put it... charming piece of work, but nothing more, Grasshopper. Of course, MK has always chosen ugly films... I wonder why.

Thanks Enea, yes you're probably right about the singular, bye :)

And who knows, maybe that's why it was said about Rossini that the impetus of his overtures was tied to the equal impetus of his sexual performances, so much so that inspiration vanished with the decrease of his sexual prowess. I begin to suspect that the answer to your doubt is the second one you mentioned :)

Is Pacino the trio with Scott Lo Faro? Am I remembering it wrong? I remember Live in Tokyo from '73 better; it's always within reach. Plus, I love that red photo on the cover.
