What Are You Listening To?

[Jerome]

I listen to classical music every now and then - not that often. Have a large CD collection of classical works (courtesy of a subscription to a classical music magazine which comes with a free disc every month) but I cannot really comment on it. I just don't know enough about it. But every once in a while I find something really different. I would not be that mad about piano concertos, which for the most part are pretty self indulgent, albeit performed by some extremely talented people. Kind of like a guitarist playing a solo for too long. After a while it just gets a bit too much. I like music that changes tack often - keeps the interest level up. And I like a sound palette that changes quite frequently. I mostly listen to classical music for the string arrangements. Gives me ideas. I could not provide a verdict on Macca's work - only an opinion. Will give it a whirl one day.
