Classical Music for Aficionados

"political/historic subjects are a turn off"

"good bye"

If it "turns you off" sitting in the comfort of your home listing to your million dollar stereo system, try to imagine what it was for the kidnapped  children undergoing sexual abuse and torture.   I bet they thought it was a real 'turn off' also.

Good Bye and Good Riddance.

IMO one of the greatest chamber pieces of the last century both in life and death.

What a discovery for me, and thank you.

I have one album from Messiaen that I never could approach since it was contemporary (I'm more a fan of classical(-baroque/+romantic)). But this piece is phenomenal for what it conveys from its backstory. You can sense the sadness, despair, and fear of death underneath - but what’s up front is the hope and devotion to faith, which underlines all of human nature. Thanks again - I’m looking for another album now...

Seems strange you do not show the MANY more children the US did the same to.

At least Canada has showed real remorse .

I understand that some of the Best Art and Music are the Yang to the Yin of Death and Misery but couid we concentrate on the Art and Music here...? Just because I like sausage does not mean I want to see how it was made.

Messian is awesome!

Amen!!
