I'm doing more classical than every thing else put together. I got to a stage where it seemed ridiculous to like "classic" literature and not to like classical music.


Interesting - as a late adolescent I went through the inverse (converse? reverse? I never know which) process, devouring all manner of classical music and realizing about 'classic' everything else, well, better get on with it already.

I listen to it on the radio sometimes, and yet it's never really excited me very much so I haven't made the effort to really understand it beyond the basics we learned in junior high school. I find a lot of classical sort of cold, somehow, especially the piano. The harpsicord was better.

Classical just doesn't grab me for some reason. Same with jazz.

Not enough percussion, perhaps.

linus, you may want to look at this MP3 blog, which just turned up in one of my feeds.

Seems to be mostly box sets, but the Harmonia Mundi material looks like it would be of particular interest to you.

Yes indeed, thanks UA. I'm putting a lot of those on my download queue. It's a great place to "graze" too, I hadn't heard of Armand-Louis Couperin for example (that's one big family of musicians), looking forward to that harpsichord duo symphony.

I'm enjoying Wendy/Walter Carlos' Switched-on Bach. It's a bit of a novelty but most tracks are really solid and interesting instrumentations and interpretations of Bach pieces.
