I've always said: better Mozart than Metallica!

Saridda, given the comments you’ve left here and there, I’m forced to say it: let’s get to know each other. I don’t have many demands; I can manage in the kitchen too.

Well, that's quite an interesting analysis. Always excellent taste, Breus. I wouldn't be that harsh, though, even if I prefer this to Nursery Crime.

I insert myself into the underground affair of the eternal comparison between Mozart and Beethoven: having made the necessary and sacred distinctions between the roles of the musician before and after (which Herr Grass has excellently addressed), one can indeed speak of personal preferences, but not of objective data, as is well known. Yet, just a few months ago, I happened to see and listen to an educated Sicilian pianist at a meeting in Messina, who highlighted how the studied comparison of many works by Mozart and Beethoven often leads to similar results; "Beethoven took a lot from Mozart": this is a well-proven fact that will not be new to many experts in the field, but I mention it here just to give an idea that Beethoven had a nominal and inspiring master, and that was Mozart. This does not undermine the absolute validity of either, but at least it clarifies how present Mozart's figure was to Ludwig.

But I absolutely do not disagree; it’s a perfectly valid opinion. I was rather criticizing the perspective of those who make an illogical distinction between one edition and another, that’s all. Moreover, the fact that you acknowledge the greatness of these authors, Soc, without loving them, shows excellent sensitivity and modesty.

A stratospheric edition with the best that the world of opera could offer: Callas, Di Stefano, Gobbi. Gobbi's Scarpia has never been equaled, and of course, the same goes for Callas, who is unattainable here as in many others (notably La Norma by Bellini and Macbeth by Verdi). Between De Sabata and Muti there’s an abyss, and I rely on the judgment of those more experienced than me, who claim the absolute intangibility of the latter, one of the most easily debunkable cases in the history of conductors. But who knows. Punny, affectionately: you’ve spouted a series of nonsense. "The score is constructed"... But do try to avoid shooting your mouth off just for the sake of criticism. Here, in front of HISTORY (read Callas-Di Stefano-Gobbi), you should simply pay tribute and run for cover before someone takes you down. I've already mentioned Puccini on other occasions: he too, in my view, is unmatched. I slightly prefer Turandot and Butterfly, but the Te Deum is spine-tingling, as Hal rightly noted, hitting the nail on the head. Tosca, you make me forget God. The review is what it is: it’s written from the heart.

Indeed, I find that a bit lackluster, yeah ;)

Agreed on everything except for the inspiration from classical music! Let’s say that the early KRFTWRK were at least affiliated with Stockhausen and German experimenters, while the latter were very much aligned with the popular substrate!

Completely in tune with the guy above. Autobahn is a monolith with an exceptional title track and a few other tracks slightly reminiscent of filler. The Kometenmelodie turned out well in the end, but overall it’s clear that the Teutons wanted to offload the weight only onto the automobile. Radioactivity alternates feverish phases with less convincing fractions. This is presumably the best, less danceable than The Man Machine, but more exquisitely electronic. But "Crash Test Dummies," what is that? I encourage you with a nice rating, as you have good taste, Breus!

Incredible to know. Posed like this, it’s an anonymous work, without meaning. Who's behind it? Numero Uno, who must have secured some rights. But knowing Lucio's family entourage, there would have been few concessions: I would have been surprised if I had met Gabbianone. The veto placed by the Battisti family on the promotion of Battisti covers is well known. It certainly serves those who are unfamiliar, and thus do not appreciate, this work.
