machaut is great. we learned rose liz last year along with other stuff of his. his mass isnt as good as his form fixes.
ive really gotten into opera recently.
i watched on dvd all of tristan und isolde last week.
the last ten minutes might be the most gutwrenchingly beautiful music ever.
i talked to one of my professors and he is going to be teaching a Wagner- Ring course next year. i think i will be taking it.
the thing about wagner is that he is on a completely other level than anyone else.
i mean say what you want about the brilliance of verdi and mozarts operas. they are still just operas. Wagner creats alternate realities that have every detailnworked out
long live the gesamptkunstwerk
