Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera
Some incredibly beautiful minimalism coming out of Iceland. If there is one sound I prefer more than any other these days besides the randomness of nature, it is the sound of a lonesome piano whose notes breathe into distinct silence. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera
If there is anything that would make me religious, it would be seeing Christ storm down from heaven, or John Tavener's "The Protecting Veil".
There's few other pieces of music that I know that really evoke genuine religious passion and mystery quite like this one. | |||||||||||

Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera
For dark nights of the soul...
| |||||||||||
"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran

Re: Your Favorite Classical and Opera
Opera = Puccini's "Turandot"
Piano = Glenn Gould Orchestral = Bruckner When I was younger, I favored the Russians and Soviets for their noisy musical tapestries. Now, I have less patience for emotional excess. | |||||||||||

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.
