Seconded.

--- Quote from: Borondir ---You're certainly not the only one who can't stand Wagner. I know plenty of very musical people with great appreciation of art music who just don't like Wagnerian opera.
The important thing is, whether its your personal taste or not, to acknowledge his absolute genius. (And of course also acknowledge his rather distasteful political views)

Wagner is...interesting.
--- Quote from: Borondir ---And there's a lot more to Carmina Burana than just "O Fortuna"
--- End quote ---
And I must say, I'm generally not a fan of that piece. I saw it performed by the NSO and TWC, and just plain wasn't that interested. Maybe if I gave it a few more listens...
--- Quote from: Borondir ---I was going to be sad that you don't like any Italian classical and then realized almost all of the Italian classical I like is opera, and, well, opera isn't for everybody.
As far as Italian opera goes, I love all the standards: Rossini, Puccini, and Verdi. Although, Verdi's Messa da Requiem isn't opera and is one of my favorite works right now.

The Requiem Mass is indeed badass. Italian opera is nice, but if I want opera, it's either Classical opera (okay, just Mozart, really) or something like Wozzeck.

If I want opera, it's rock opera :p
Bastardous Bassist:
Oh god no. THE HORROR!
