Alright, Seba...or whatever your screen name is now...I'll pop in my complete Beethoven symphonies conducted by Georg Szell.

Won't be easy picking a fav.

As of now...it's the Sixth.

Some do say it had a negative effect on his composing. Glenn Gould was one of these people. I guess you can play the "GG is talented, but a wacko" card.


At the same time..."It's THE bloody Ninth Symphony!"


Am I one of these idiots who blindly accepts everything he wrote as genius? Yes.

Nice. That's an unusual pick.

For me there is nothing greater than the 9th. It is in my opinion the best representation of music as an artistic form.

That would be a yes, including when he composed the 9th Symphony (as in, the most common favorite work of his, sometimes of classical music in general, and in Orwell Huxley's case, the greatest musical accomplishment known to man).

My bad, forgot that Satchmo had posted the freaking deaf posts and didn't realize tanjello was being sarcastic.
