Firstly, I like 'Don Giovanni' and even 'Requiem' and there's imo nothing outdated, since I regard Mozart and Haydn to be outdated in the beginning of the 21st century. Dark romantic thinking is not my kind of thing, since I like Kant and Rorty too much, just like I love the very German Shostakovich and Bartok and yes, I like my music to be emotionally involving, I don't like chords which don't come to an end, which contain no program which can only satisfy you in a structural sense, when I'm in a concerthall I want to be overwhelmed by a full orchestra and I can only listen to Ustvolskaya's pianosonatas when I'm a little depressed, that's when that bald landscape of hers works for me, but when I'm happy I greatly enjoy a Mahler symphony. 'Moving on' means enjoying various interpretations of the same work while broadening the horizons, not for the broadening itself, but _feeling_ like there's more, instead of knowing or wanting to know there's more. I'll progress in your sense of evaluating and appreciating music when I feel like it, not because I feel obliged to. When I can't make chocolate out of modern pop or modern classic or modern jazz, that's perhaps my mistake, but I still think Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Mahler, Schoenberg, Shostakovich and Bartok are the greatest composers of this millenium.Now, what about that Hartmann lecture you promised, isn't he by the way German?:-)))
RobWhen you state that Mahler 8 is a dark work, you need to take your medicines right now:-)))
