Hello, everyone. Sorry it's been so long. I've got no intention of letting this page wither and die without getting a lot, lot more content up first. Unfortunately my semester has been nothing short of insane, so I've had little time to sort through and select music.
This happened, though. I'm still super busy, so this post is rather bare-bones, but I'll update it with some niceties and maybe even extra content when I can find the time.
So, here's two intense orchestral albums of compositions by three very famous romantic era composers.
Wagner - The Ring Without Words
I'm sure you've all heard Ride of the Valkyries. Well, this an album of highlights from the opera its from, without the vocals. It's an incredible listen, I suggest you find some time to lay back and enjoy it all in one sitting.
Muti - Stravinsky, Mussorgsky
Orchestral arranges of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition are a miracle of the universe, and here you'll find out why. This particular album by The Philadelphia Orchestra also includes Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, which quite far out there as romantic music goes. Again, you'll find out why.
Oh, and of course - password is 'Eggmun' (capital included).
