…manipulate and enrapture a listener than Stravinsky? I am shocked, SHOCKED I say, at how long it has taken me to finally listen to Le Sacre Du Printemps (The Rite of Spring)…why the hell didn’t anyone tell me how freaking AWESOME it is??
I know, I know…there are plenty of people out there saying it, if I only had ears to hear…
I have loved Tchiakovsky and Brahms and Mozart and a lot of modern “alternative” music but only recently have I “discovered” Stravinsky. Holy shit! It reminds me of when I finally “discovered” Ingmar Bergman or when I “discovered” Vonnegut.
So, who ELSE should I “discover”?
