All different types of music. (And I got my avatar going - yeah!).

Sharon, could you be a little more specific?

Jack - I deleted my song selection. It's embarrassing.

I can't be more specific because I like everything.

Put it this way - whatever YOU'RE listening to I'll probably like. Whatever the person next door is listening to, I'll probably like. And so on. Get it? I don't have my own opinion. I just like everything.

... as long as the person next door isn't listening to jazz or pop, then I will probably like it too!

Recent CD's:

Bartok: Piano Concerto No. 2!

My favorite piano concerto, and one of my favorite pieces of music that I've ever heard.

Performed by Leif Ove Andsnes / Berlin Philharmonic (Pierre Boulez)

Horowitz Plays Lizst (1949) Funarailles - Totally blown away

Right at this moment I've got a Chopin prelude being played by an unknown pianist - unknown because I'm sat downstairs on a laptop with the music streaming wirelessly from my main PC upstairs. What's funny is that just before that was the Clash with "Guns on the Roof", but that's the random play option for you. I have over 40GB of MP3s up there ranging from Bach to White Zombie and of course Elena in MP3 form

Deep in my heart I am waiting...what else can I do...waiting, waiting, for you....

Prokofiev String Quartet No. 2

I just got the CD yesterday:



Never heard them or heard of them before, but they're great! I'm listening to the 2nd one now, and some parts of it remind me a lot of Shostakovich. It says in the liner notes that the 2nd String Quartet was based on Caucasian folk songs:

"The Second Quartet, op. 92 in F major, followed nine years later, in 1941. In August of that year Prokofiev was, with other artists, evacuated to Nalchik in the region of Kabarda, on the other side of the Caucus from Georgia. The evacuees were encouraged to make use of local folklore, and Prokofiev set about doing so in his quartet (this time he apparently wrote a piano score first, between 2 November and 3 December); Myaskovsky, who was also in the party, was at the same time using Caucasian themes in his 23rd Symphony and his Seventh Quartet, similarly in F. Prokofiev's quartet was given its first performance, by the Beethoven Quartet, back in Moscow the next year."

Liszt's Rhapsodies, Artur Pizarro

A trip to the music store today to fill in some of the gaps in my classial music collection.

Well, not right now, but yesterday...medieval polyphony:
