Daphnis et Chloé

[rojo]

Hi LBandG

But that whole long ending is the best part! Absolutely thrilling, and completely satisfying, imo. Bebaaaa Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Bebaaaa Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

About the floating business.

I'm not crazy about impressionist pieces that do nothing but float, and not go anywhere. But this piece (imo) definitely goes places. The floating is perhaps 'transitory' in nature here? Not sure how to describe it. But I love the floating here because it does lead somewhere.

Never mind; we can certainly enjoy it for different reasons.

(I'm going to blast this through speakers later on today. :crazy

The music certain does have a very direct path, you only need to read the ballet synopsis and follow the score to realise this! I agree with Rojo - the ending of Daphnis is totally orgasmic and thrilling (as I needs to be).
