    Been listening off and on all day, as time permits, to cbc radio`s presentation of The Ring; Wagner`s four operas from the Ring cycle all in one day, with the Canadian Opera Company. Fantastic. Some day I`ll hear them all in their entirety.
    • Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold)
    • Die Walküre (The Valkyrie)
    • Siegfried
    • Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)

    This music and recording is absolute enjoyment. After about 4 years in my library it is a clear favorite.
    Look at the titles, it seems to have been some joy in the mountains of Norway in older times.

    Shostakovich sym no 13 (Babi Yar) with LSO/Previn and a terrific gem with Boston SO and a young MTT in Charles Ives "Three places". I must soon have time to go on with Charles Ives, no music rules detected, but music rules anyway.

    Beethoven: Symphony No 4. London Symphony Orchestra, Bernard Haitink.

    I really should know this symphony better than I do; at least I knew it was Beethoven when it came on the radio...

    My Favorite (if I have one) normally it is the last one I heard. And it was no 7 with Carlos Kleiber, hair rising ang big goosebumps.

    This evening: Bernstein explaing and conducting Shostakovich's 6th and 9th symfoni. Great stuff.

    Yevgeni Sudbin plays Rachi sonate no 2. The sound of the recording is so good that I think he use my piano in my living room.

    Cool Chopin

    I haven't listened to any music today but will do so this evening. My favourite composer is Chopin; I could listen to his works over and over again and never get tired. I also like Tchaikovsky, Schubert and Liszt.
    I think I'll listen to .......don't know. Will decide later.
    Cheers.

    Too little until now. Schubert D959 with Leif Ove Andnes, and now because of Art Rock's question about Roussell, his 3. symphony with Charles Munch.

    Printemps, symphonic suite for chorus, piano & orchestra, L. 61
    Composed by Claude Debussy
    Performed by Montreal Symphony Orchestra
    Conducted by Charles Dutoit

    Lovely early work by Debussy. There are hints of the masterpiece La Mer that followed later on...
