Hearing it live only confirms what I already knew: Ravel’s Daphnis & Chloe is a masterpiece and I would gladly listen to it every day, forever

While Mov. 1 and 4 get all the love in Mahler’s 9th (perhaps rightly so), I think Mov. 2 is an incredible example of Mahler’s ability to endlessly reshape and recombine motivic material.
(Also, it’s a lot of fun)

I love the harmonic slips and slides that Richard Strauss puts into otherwise fairly diatonic passages (eg: the servant’s bowing exit in Act I of Der Rosenkavalier, among countless other examples). There’s something so charming about it

Listening to Berg’s Lyrische Suite for the first time in a while and being blown away by it all over again. Perfection 👌

Szymanowski’s music is drop-dead gorgeous and it’s a mystery why it isn’t played more. Hopefully this new Symphonic Fantasy on “King Roger” will mean the music from this masterpiece is more widely heard. Can’t wait to hear it in full 🤩

It will never not be funny that Korngold dedicated his experimental op. 18 songs to “meinem lieben Vater”, his conservative music critic father. Personally I can’t get enough of the crunchy chords, bitonality and OTT poetry

Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in C-Sharp by Korngold
A piece to shatter the illusion of Korngold as a nostalgic throwback. It’s a very experimental piece for its time, all melodic leaps and dense bitonal harmonies with more than a hint of almost Messiaen-like joy

Metamorphosen by Richard Strauss
Written as Richard Strauss felt the Western cultural tradition he adored crumbling around him, it seems appropriate right now…

Horn Concerto by Oliver Knussen
If anyone ever asks me what kind of music I want to write I always direct them to this piece.
It is quite literally perfect, both in form and content and should be on concert programs constantly.

Die ersten Menschen by Rudi Stephan
For a composer with so few works, this opera is amazingly assured! Simple, direct music but with dramatic sweep and aching lycricism.
Recommended for fellow Late Romantic addicts
