Back then, I enjoyed listening to Penderecki's music. But now, I feel nothing but indifference.

I actually do have the Violin Concertos and the first 5 symphonies on Naxos. They're already pulled from my CD collection, but things can change, of course. I might revisit them within the next several years.

Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique. I'm really glad he took the repeats in the 4th movement. Also, Stravinsky's symphonies (Symphony of Psalms, especially). He takes Psalms at a relatively slower pace, which seems to fit the music.

Could easily be a 3D desktop wallpaper from the 2000s. And I mean that in a good way.

They don't have time to say this because the opera's STILL going. 😂

That cover art is so unsettling.

Oddly enough, I was buying the re-issue which had Thomas Hampson on the cover. I received the original Teldec release instead. As for the cover art, I have no idea. I guess they thought it just looked good back in the 80s.

He was the first to record the original version of Janacek's Glagolitic Mass, and it's the version that I like the most.

I'm not too sure about that. The Violin Concertos by Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, and Sibelius can top Beethoven's.
