I'm with Jerry on this.
My favourite classical choral music is the kind of music I used to sing in my youth like William Byrd and Thomas Tallis ...
I also love the big requiems - Mozart, Faure, Durufle etc
I've had my first sitting of Rheingold and got as far as I could with it but will try some more later.
I found that after a while I wasn't really listening to it as I was doing other things on the computer at the time ...
Must try harder!

Thanks for that - it might rack me up a few brownie points with mother ...

Thanks for that - it might rack me up a few brownie points with mother ... The first couple of minutes in particular are excellent, and draw you into the work very effectively. I like the production very much. |
