Guess what guys! I've had an epiphany: Kate Bush! :D just discovered her music in the past month and now have most of her albums.
I'm also so exited for the new Bjork album.

I can't stop listening to classical music. It's like nothing else is good enough anymore. HELP

That happens to me too, PK; sometimes I just get so tired of listening to current things/can't find anything worth exploring. Who in particular? I quite like Camille Saint-Saens :D

I don't know Saint-Saens much apart from what I've seen live, but it's been on my list. It's just an overwhelming amount of music to listen to. Any works in particular?

I'm a hugeass fan of Beethoven and Chopin mostly, but Dvorak is the love of my life right now. I'm starting to dig Mahler too.

It was just a coincidence that I had been listening to that the day before, Pictures at an Exhibition is an old fave. I have stacks of CDs I inherited from my Dad, so there's a bunch of stuff to go through, different performances of my favorite Chopin, and lots of other things I've never heard. Opera. :eek:

I totally can't get into opera. I can't help but feel like all that unintelligible screaming gets in the way of the music.

I recently bought Rubinstein's 11-disc set Chopin Collection. Yay! I hope it gets here. I wish my parents had some classical music for me to inherit, but they are fonder of the Bee Gees.

Does that include the Etudes? I've been obsessed with them since I was a teen and taking lessons. I could play a few, though not this quickly -

More slowly like this, only not tampering with the tempo quite so much -

And I look terrible in a dress besides.

I've also been listening to Richard Goode playing Beethoven's piano sonatas. And then there's some string quartets I should pull out again.

Regarding opera, give Puccini and/or Wagner a shot. Yes, the singing can get on your nerves, but the music is spectacular. Low dosages at first and getting to know the plots can help a lot. They are super dramatic. Polly's best songs have a very operatic bent to them.

It does not include the Etudes :( Apparently Rubinstein was afraid of them. You're a much cooler pianist than he was.

I like Pollini's, but the version you linked to is pretty awesome as well. Too bad I can't find the album for download and my parents don't have it.

That is probably my favorite Etude, I've been trying to learn a dumbed down version of it for ages and still sucking at it. The good news is I probably look alright in a dress.

Carnival of the Animals and op. 45. Gooooood stuff. I've been enjoying Stravinsky's Rite of Spring too; a classic classical, hah. It's just so haunting and primitive! And I've always had a soft spot for Chopin's preludes.
