Hi Len,

I would like have a beer on my hands discussing with you, and others, about
music. To be short, IMO music principally is a emotional thing, with the use
to be, education etc...., we can progress to new tendences, i.e. it is
normally difficult that someone who don't knows very much music, like
Sch?nberg (I've said Sch?nberg as an extreme). I know many people who was
interested for italian opera and finally was interested on Wagner too. This
is not my case, I was interested on Wagner when I was 15, and after I liked
the other styles, my actual preferences are more for the North European
Styles (Wagner, Mozart, R. Strauss, Britten....). On my case I like the
voices, normally is quite difficult to follow the words of an opera, I can
understand something on Italian or even a few things in German, but it helps
the projection of the words on a Screen. For me Wagner is not heavy, his
operas are long, but no more than some Mozart's or Handel's ones, when you
start to be introduced in his musical and philosophical World is really
interesting and (for me) passionating, but Mozart too and many others.

Thank you to look at my website, this is a lot of work, and it is very
difficult to find employees that they have the knowledge and the motivation
to describe and put the correct information for every CD/DVD. 

Thanks again Len, of course we can chat more about music, but maybe
offline..., our photography friends will be not happy if we have too long
musical discussions.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

Hi Luis,

I got involved browsing your web sites. It's very impressive. What a great
business to be in. You really are involved with music. I enjoy classical
music very much but not so much opera. I think because I don't understand
the words. I would think that someone like you that speaks Spanish would
even understand the Italian operas. I'm very surprised at your interest in
Wagner. Do you speak German? I always considered Wagner's music a little
heavy. Maybe I'm wrong.

Good luck in your business. We must talk about this some more.

Best Regards,
Len

And no so modern modern. And you don't meet many people sitting next to you on the Bus who coincidently shares that hobby. Or profession.I'm into Mahler, Gustav (1860-1911) pretty heavy. With some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Also into Elgar, Edward (1857-1934)VERY heavy into Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975)LOVE Sibelius, Jean (1865-1957)And very fond of your man Wagner, Richard (1813-1883)And getting more into "Modern" I like a lot Strauss, Richard (1864-1949) no monkey business. Sir Walton, William (1902-1983) was great when he played for Portland. I can listen to his stuff anytime. Great for housework! I went to the Barber, Samuel (1913-1981) a few hours ago and got a haircut. Now I'm a clean cut egghead. Most theses people I have at least their complete symphony "cycle" as the Penguin guys say. And have them down pretty well. I can that tune in...... From any movement you might put on. Mark RabinerNew York, NY40°47'59.79"N 73°57'32.37"Wmarkrabiner.com)
