Rest assured that you are not alone young man; how often should I announce that I am captivated by Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri?Jared wrote:

I hope that you are not claiming that Rimsky-Korsakov's music is ridiculous, surely not? Thought so. ;)Jared wrote:

On the TT tonight....
I have long advocated the Shostakovich String Quartets as magnificent works well worth investigating for those who are not all that familiar with them. The above compilation is very well played indeed. I find these works fascinating as they are very private and personal to the composer. All of his innermost thoughts are there and they can be so very expressive.
