You know what I find interesting. No Brahms, Bruckner, Bartok


LOL LOL Didn't realize that they were missing till now! Yeah, it's bizzare that Brahms Symphony No.1 wasn't there at the very least... Not that these B's are more important than Mahler, though.

Seriously, I think Dallasites really love Russian music.

I have the Fantasia 2000 DVD and really like it. I am surprised that you suggested it, however, as I think all of the performances are cut for time and I would think that would irritate the purists.


It's okay, as long as you don't end your listening there. I think that the Fantasia 2000 is a SUPERB (re-)introduction to classical music, for astute classical loves, and for those who have never cared about classical music before.
