absolutely agree... I find the evolution from Classicism into Romanticism to be a fascinating one, because it helps you learn to identify trends and styles in the music... sometimes, these things don't tend to hit you until you've put them away, then picked them up again for a re-appraisal some time later. The same of course can be said of the passage from Baroque into Classicism; a journey I have yet to explore fully.fergus wrote:Musical evolution at work Jared! Sometimes when I listen to say early Beethoven I think that it was all said in late Mozart. Sometimes when you listen to Mozart you think that Haydn just about said that! Whereas Haydn and Mozart were undisputed musical geniuses they were not great innovators or musical revolutionaries like Beethoven but they certainly planted some of the seeds from which the genius of Ludwig ultimately blossomed. Just my tuppence worth.

I think you'd like it, Sean... personally I enjoy it, although I do feel it is a bit overrated as it is a little repetitive in places.Seán wrote:I am ashamed to say that I don't yet have a copy of that CD.

Nothing, Ciaran is incorruptible. I started my journey through Seventh Heaven before Ciaran had set on this work.Jared wrote:How much did you say you'd paid Ciaran?Seán wrote:What an extraordinary symphony this is.

That is a great work and I have that CD. I wonder if you have heard the Naxos version with Antoni Wit conducting. I have always preferred it over this one....much more spiritual I have found. One to check out on Spotify perhaps?
I'll do that..I've got a feeling it's going to be one of those discs that one knows so well a different version will just seem wrong!!
The basses at the opening revealed that the floor in my shomera is acting as a resonating board...
bring on the move....
