Mozart Fans Only

If you love Mozart as I (and Einstein)do, here's a great CD I just picked up. Boston Symphony Chamber Players - Chamber Music for Winds and Strings. A great selection of small-scale works. I highly recommend it for people just testing the waters of classical music. Very good playing and easy to listen to. Hybrid SACD, for those who have hi-rez players, but it will play on all CD players. Enjoy.
More about music - less about gear.

Re, Schubert, kinna hard to be cheery when you are dying from Syphillis and you know it. No composer,not even almighty Bach, ever wrote sweeter melodies.
I personally heard Rubenstein say his op161 Quintet was the greatest piece ever written.

Learsfool, at the Central Cemetary in Vienna, Schubert is buried next to Brahms, with Hugo Wolf just a few graves down. Wolf is still popular in the German lands.When I went to pay homage to Schubert, Japanese tourists had his entire grave covered in hundred of roses, one was actually lying next to the grave crying like a baby !

Hans Rott? How can we forget someone we've never even heard of?

I'm pretty sure Brahms has tried to kill me once or twice, too. He wrote very nice chamber music, though!

Tostado, Rott was a fellow student under Bruckner with Mahler. I understand Mahler held him in very high esteem and was greived by his unfortunate illness.

I am actually very surprised that others on this board even know who Rott is. Certainly not someone the average classical music lover would ever have heard of. Kudos to Brownsfan!
