Musical Choices

Currently listening to the violin sonatas by Grieg (in G) and the ravishing but technically difficult Brahms (D minor), as well as the hypnotic Dvorak Romance over BBC radio.

Several nights ago, I requested Mahler's Resurrection Symphony over DZFE. The record played was obviously an old one: scratchy and I didn't like the interpretation at all. Barry Manilaw listened to it as well, and as expected, he didn't like it (he caught the slow movements--he probably went into an instant coma). The following day, he watched a pang-diva concert by Regine Velasquez at the Araneta. He proudly told me it only proves he's not obsessed with Sarah Geronimo. My gulay!
