What Music Do You Like?
|
This is a great group. I would like to hear what music you like.
Artists, songs? I would tell you what I like but it's a large variety.
|
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner. Followed by Parker, Davis, Monk, Mingus,
Coltrane and Sanders. And when I'm feeling particularly weird, Sun Ra.
These men are what high-end is all about.
|
About the only thing I don't like is RAP. I can't stand the lyrics of
RAP music, but that's just me. The internet is opening up the world to
us, and that means lots of different music! I like some Moody Blues,
Rolling Stones, Beatles, ELO and many others. Actually I'm looking for
|
Varese?
|
No. I find him tiring. Not bad, not objectionable, just tiring. I don't
mind working when I listen, but I do expect to be exhilarated at the
end of the experience. Somehow this does not happen. There IS no
accounting for taste, after all.

|
Brilliant, but also a lot of work as above.
Add to my short-list: John Fahey & Kiri Te Kanawa.
|
|
some really good music to discover and I'm sure you can enlighten me.
|
if you want to discover a very good record go to:
First, it's very well recorded, the sound is beautiful, like in all
Label Bleu recordings.
It's not "audiophile" music, it's a compilation of music written for
TV or Movies by Michel Portal. Michel Portal is a clarinet virtuoso
who can play Mozart, Jazz, Free Jazz, ....
See bio here:
a web search will find many other sites.
I'm not a musical critic so i will not try to describe this music, i
just can say that if you don't like very much Jazz (like me) this
record is modern, intelligent (not sterile) and easy to listen to
music.
If you like Portal, i can recommend another album: turbulences
(Harmonia Mundi).
Good listening,
Jean

Two kinds, really: Bach, serious classical, string quartets, heavier
opera, art songs etc, and also jazz in that transition period between
dixieland and the 1960s....
