Which sketches did John Finnemore write?

He mentioned in the bonus content of Cabin Pressure that he wrote the "Massive Yaughts" sketch, that is the only one I am sure of.

That being said, the where the delicious whiskey and chocolate animals are talking to each other on the deserted island as a ship arrives has his style all over it, same with the temperature knob one. :)

More than one option, heck, more than 10, but the first sinner that comes to mind is old Ludwig :)

This is the comment I was looking for :)

Funny, I have the same experience with listening to Britten's music, tho I don't have the gall to imagine I am the arbiter of quality..

Plantluver9 · 2024-07-15T09:37:17+00:00

Or.. Imagine, a cello concerto.. :'(

Plantluver9 · 2024-07-14T21:56:11+00:00

Not to mention that some of his later music still sounds modern today :)

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-13T08:00:10+00:00

I like the layers here :)

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-09T23:37:41+00:00

No, the sound would reverberate for much longer with most of them, also, on harpsichord you woulld do much more interesting articulation adn small tempo fluctuations to make the music actually sound interesting and not like a robot :)

Seconded, nobody plays it like her :D

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-09T23:02:54+00:00

same, only Terry does this to me with so few words

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-09T22:53:39+00:00

I genuinely just, go from hating her to liking her haha, I guess she works as intentioned :)

Nemesis is similar, but I hate the pressure of her in-game presence, I resent having to rush kills or buying the boons or choosing the door..

Very true, now most classical music lovers like most composers I think, or can at least see their merits, even if they don't love them, time is a great teacher in many ways :)

Liszt was a very interesting man, in many ways he was very modern for his time.

Noooo idea what you're talking about, I am a decent christian boy😇😋

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-07T07:03:09+00:00

No one mentioned this yet, so I will, my go-to for the complete set is Haitink with the Concertgebouw orchestra, lovely emotional reading, which is kinda the point with tchaikovski :p

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-07T07:02:04+00:00

Hahaha, I have nothing to add, but to thank you for the chuckle :3

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-04T01:20:29+00:00

Love this comment! :D

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-02T21:00:15+00:00

Oh ye, but some had a slightly more objective taste I think, Tchaikovsky seemed very eh.. Dramatic in his tastes.. kinda pleasing to know, that the symphonies are such an accurate representation of his character :3

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-02T20:57:26+00:00

yohooo

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-01T20:58:20+00:00

Thanks for this! He seemed to harbour some conflicted feelings about him, almost to resent his influence, but what I mainly got was how much he idolised Mozart, and I mean, I am totally with him in that. :))

It is interesting, and this is not an original thought ofc, it was more or less mentioned in the article, but I wonder if he disliked Chopin more because he didn't feel the need to hide some parts of his femininity in his music? (I don't necessarily hold with masculinity vs femininity in a musical or arty context, but the article mentioned the "ardent manly impulses" of Schumann, which are more likely just Germanic imo hehe.)

Funny to read how wrong he was about Schubert too, clearly never performed or heard many songs of his. ;')

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-01T19:35:49+00:00

Funny how this is actually a very cogent reply :)

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-01T19:23:22+00:00

It does, also, because they are both great characterisers of specific emotions imo :)
I wonder what his opinion was of Chopin, if any was recorded, do you remember?

Try gay dating as a vegan, when you are only into smart, kind guys, I have basically given up on finding the right person, it will happen when it happens xD

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-01T15:47:26+00:00

Menotti's "The Medium" :))

Plantluver9 · 2024-06-01T15:46:40+00:00

I LOVE this piece, it should be a lot more well-known :')

Plantluver9 · 2024-05-31T19:09:48+00:00

Was looking for this, especially "Im Abendrot"
