I'm going to give the 4th a try. I just picked it up tonight. I'll try listening to it when I'm in a lighter mood. I think saying he was boring was wrong on my part. I should have said he collided with my mood. The music sounded good. Although I wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.
In other news I found GORECKI Symphony No 3 amazing and glorious. I picked up the 2nd and I can't wait to listen to it! Tonight I'll be listening to Bartok so Goreki will have to wait. I listened to Rostropovich's Bach cello suites last night. I wasn't a fan of the beginning but by the end I was into it. I'll have to revisit that album again, I have a felling it's one of those albums I'll have to get to know better then I'll love it. Oh and I picked up SCHUBERT string quartets as well!

Don't give up on Gustav! Even devotees of Mahler have a symphony or song-cycle that doesn't come easily. For me, it's his 8th, but it differs. Wait a while and then come back. The 2nd isn't dark - though it has its moments - but it is glorious. |
