I stumbled upon this 2-CD set at a local shop today. What a lucky find. I was previously only familiar with his film scores for Serpico and Iphigenia and had no idea he'd composed outside of film. The symphony is dark and often fierce with hauntingly beautiful, intense and moving solo vocals and choral work. Highly recommended.
I thought there was a classical music thread here in recent years. I'll have to use Google to search for it.
Maybe there should be a Pop-Rock Now Playing thread...
Why? What difference does it make whether people in this thread are listening to Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, or anything else? The first post in this thread is a classical album, but it's not as if almost everyone here hasn't posted entries from a variety of genres.
If anyone is for whatever reason irritated or offended by seeing classical or jazz albums turn up here then they should quit whining and start posting! Or is the micromanagement brigade going to demand separate threads for all types of music, so they can see only what they want?!
Hey mr essankay - i said nothing other than remarked on the regular classical listeners - meaning it was a good thing. You know, people got class. I like a bit of swan lake and waltz of the flowers me.
But dont lump me in with the pedants of Telemark - i aint said nuffeen!!

Mr. C, I took your post just the way you meant it (I saw the thumbs-up) and was glad. Sorry if you thought I was bundling you up with any controlling sourpusses.
I'm fascinated to see what other people are listening to, whatever it is. Who knew Jim Phelps was such a big Clash fan!

I don't think anyone is being irritated or offended (except maybe yourself). I'm certainly not. It's just an observation of a curious turn of events in this thread.
