Classical Top Five


If most will concede Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, and Brahms as " the given" top 4, who would you choose as number 5?

And  Brahms is far ahead of Mahler, unless you like hearing dogs chasing their tales.
Bach can not be moved by strong  Christians , so far above all else
in service of our God.

IMO,  a sign that someone  tends to be not deeply into Classical Music is ignoring Brahms .
Putting him down is a sure sign.

It's like this .The world's greatest  sport event  is the World Football 
Cup (yes, Americans) . For an analogy the the Winner is Bach.

Score , Bach 26
Runner up  8  

Devout Christian Music lovers,  love him because he makes us love God even more than anyone else can.

Music is God's greatest gift to mankind and if Bach was the ONLY
music in the world it would still be that .


Right, just because he , the worlds most famous German wrote more anti-semetic pages than music which
helped Hitler greatly is no reason to be upset.
With the Ring calling back to the real German  religion was a great idea as well.
Gee., why would anyone be upset about a man who played a major
part in killing at least 6 million men . women and CHILDREN .

Surely knowing incest is A-OK is far more important than a few million
children being burn to death .

Wagner was/ is just one of the most evil persons who ever walked ,
but surpasses Bach in your mind, ok .

With Easter near, Bach’s Passions are played all over the Western World.
This year I must remember the death of Christ is not as relevant as Wagner’s homage to incest .

To put him in the class of  the Bard is beyond belief .
