A lot of Felix Mendelssohn on the iPod this morning during my exercise.
He wrote A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was 17. Slacker.
Seriously, as well regarded as he is, I think he is under-appreciated. Also, parents take note, if you want to get your kids into symphonic music, it has been my consistent experience, not just for myself, but for my friends growing up, that Mendelssohn is just about the most accessible of all the greats. (The Italian Symphony and The Hebrides Overture being particularly accessible.)

You are such a learned person, to still be wet behind the ears.
I completely agree with your under-appreciated comment, and will raise the bet. There are far too many that do not even know of Mendelssohn.
In honor of the above, one of my very favorite CDs: Not shilling, just sayin' it is really good.

I like Mendelssohn, but really, his biggest contribution to music was the "rediscovery" of Bach.
Aphilla, you are moving WAY up on my respect scorecard!

If you’re a big Mendelssohn fan, you should check out the ‘83 recording of his violin concerto featuring Kyung Wha Chung with Charles Dutoit and the Montreal SO on Decca.quote:Originally posted by winetarelli:quote:Originally posted by wine+art:

Nice.
I love her singing. The talk of Piaf got me listening to Charles Aznavour tonight.

Alice in Chains - Unplugged.
What a great band! Layne Staley left this world way too soon.
Each time I have the opportunity to just shut everything out and fire up the system in the basement reminds me how much I miss doing this.
The Mrs. and I used to spend hours doing just this on the weekends.
Kids and life...
I can completely relate to your post, and the fact that you like Alice in Chains elevates you even higher on my list of forumites with whom I would like to share wine.
Thelonious Monk - man this guy has got some chops!

As I was typing that I thought to myself you might like the list.
My father and I were speaking over the weekend about CSN&Y and Buffalo Springfield how, as good as many of the songs are, when all of the sudden Helpless or Country Girl comes on, or Mr. Soul... you realize you are now listening to something on a different level. So true.
