Music didn't died with Beethoven!!!!
Nothing...just some things I've been hearing these days... (Please add yours or comment these ones) :
Faure's Requiem, Tatum Ergo, Ave Verum and Messe Basse (weird, but good stuff)
R. Strauss: Metamorphosen Study for 23 solo Strings, AV 142
Tchaikovsky: Trio op. 50 (I like this trio more than any other from B! and curiously, T didn't considered himself capable of composing a piano, cello violin trio until this, his only one!). Also from T: Serenade Melancolique for Violin and Orchestra, Op.26 and Souvenir D'un Lieu Cher for Violin & Piano, Op. 42
Dvorak: Poetic tone-pictures for piano, op. 85 (something similar to Schumann's Kinderszenenand) and Serenade for string orch. (Don't remember the op. but it's beautiful!)
Brahms: Intermezzos (Have you heard them? You'll hardly find better music to sleep!) also from Brahms: his Piano Trio No. 1 in B major, Op. 8.
I’ve been also listening Bruckner’s most known symphonies: (4th, 7th, 8th and 9th). But they are giving me way too much more work. Don’t you think Bruckner is sometimes a bit “schizophrenic” on his music? I mean, I like him a lot but one sometimes thinks “what the hell is this guy trying to say?” his moods change so drastically and unpredictably! One sometimes is on a magnificent ecstasy that is suddenly cut-off with none possible explanation! (take for example the first mvt of his 4th) Many times I can’t figure any clear emotion or image (not to mention any “structure”) behind his music. I don’t know... maybe I’ll have to give him more time, or, most likely, I’m having a music overdose these days!!!!
