What classical music did you listen to today?

[Contratrombone64]

Tosca is one opera I never want to hear again. I've been listening to a Bruckner symphony (not quite as tedious as Tosca, but close).

By the way - it doesn't really matter which Bruckner symphony because, like the Vivaldi Concerti, they are all pretty much identical in structure and sound.

(tongue slightly in cheek)

Alexandre Guilmant - Sonate 1 op.42

Ben van Oosten, perchance?

Last listened to: March for Band "Godzilla" by Akira Ifukube, played by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra (don't snicker, it's a grand piece of music...especially if you like marches).

FJ Haydn--Symphonies 6,7,8 Le Matin, Le Midi, Le Soir. Such grand little symphonies showing Haydn's early experimentation and laying his humor and wit right out with very little dressing.

Death and Transfiguration by Richard Strauss

Ben van Oosten, perchance?

Nah... Just a youtube performer. But I liked his playing very much.
