Anybody Like Classical Music?

[Insidious Von]

I'm going to watch the new Frankenstein film again.

Paul McCartney is a classically trained musician. If you asked him who the father of heavy metal is he'd fight the urge to say himself. Then he would answer Anton Bruckner. When he was not composing apocalyptic music The Metal God had a torrid affair with Frau Blucher.

Bruckner also made The White Stripes very rich.

I cant attach clips, but I have been working my way though a box set of CD's I bought at a thrift.
Karajan / Berlin Symphony. A few missing from the 38 disc set, but $10 for 35 CD's including the notes book and box is a good deal.

Nice clean Deutsche Grammophon recordings - Beethoven, Brahms Bruckner, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schumann, Tchaikovsky

The Nazis nearly killed Bruckner off, it was the soundtrack to their regime. Bruckner was an extremely humble and devout man who spent his professional life as an organist and choir master at the DOM in Linz. He died in 1896, to know that the Nazis used his music as propaganda would have horrified him. His music was blacklisted after WWII, Karajan revived it. He did a complete set of his symphonies in the mid-70's, even seen the 3rd and the 7th live, it's an experience.

His music is in the public domain, Jack White didn't have to pay royalties.
