Anybody Like Classical Music?

May 7th Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky's Birthday.

The composer was bi-polar, he reached a point in his life where he didn't want to deal with it any longer. The Symphony No.6 is his swan song, he died 9 days after the premiere.

Daniil Trifonov playing Scriabin's Black Mass with a lovely smile...hopefully Yuja Wang will do the same.

 
Dave Hurwitz said he would ban anyone who wrote sexist comments about Yuja Wang...so I tested him.

I would love to chug a few beers with Yuja Wang, I'll bet she can rip a massive belch.

 
In a recent conversation I said to Dave Hurwitz that Simon Rattle's Bruckner 5th doesn't meet with Frau Blucher's approval.

He said, he couldn't even wake her up.

Some folks say this is an abomination, to me it's the sweetest sound I've ever heard.

My grandfather played the Sousaphone with the Earlscourt Marching Band. He passed away four years after his last Santa Claus Parade.
