whatever

i like watching movie trailers at apple.com.

and i love “classical” music. really, i like romantic (including, but not limited to: brahms, beethoven, franck, rachmaninov, liszt, mahler, bruckner, sibelius), neo-romantic (especially nicholas maw and john corigliano) and other 20th-c. composers (like stravinsky, barber, shostakovich, bernstein, rorem, whitacre, albert, ives). there are so many wonderful things to listen to in the “fine art” realm…and when i am listening to them, i often want to play them as loud as possible. unfortunately, there are times when it is not possible for me to do so. 2:40 am when i’m in a house with three other guys is one of those times. but the music is still getting to me. if you’ve never listened to the rachmaninov 3rd piano concerto, i recommend that you do that as soon as possible. the recording i have is martha argerich, and is quite excellent.
