My comments were directed toward the Pelleas Et Milisande opera. But yeah, I gave Saint Sebastien a listen, and I enjoyed it!
Just getting into Wagner's Ring Cycle. The engineering and production on Solti's 50 + year old recordings is superb! Recorded from 1958-1965.
A good podcast by Chris Cutler (Henry Cow) on the evolution of music. I listened to the first episode yesterday and it's pretty good: Probe.
GIOrquestra i Sílvia Pérez Cruz - TRES QUARTS (Feliu Gasull, Enric Casasses)

Just getting into this set. https://www.ondine.net/?cid=2.2&oid=4791
Disc One:
Lichtbogen
Grammaire des reves
Du Cristal
Amazing composer! Music of exquisite and beautiful orchestral textures and colors. And innovative vocal (Grammaire des reves) ideas and arrangements.
So far I've listened to Das Rheingold, and Die Walkure. I'm diggin' it!
Start at the last three tracks on the last disc of Walkure....its called "Leb Wohl...." and crank that shit up and ride it out. Sublime and beyond amazing. But I'm telling you, try to track down the Levine/Met '90 version for that - its the best - the tempi, sound, playing, everything, sooo perfect. And it uses the anvil - you'll know when you hear it. His version is good, just not as sublime for this ending.
EDIT: Solti does the anvil too - I might be thinking of Barenboim or Boulez - can't remember.

I'm contemplating seeing Das Rheingold in June at the NYP - I might pull the trigger.
Will do! I don't know how much it costs to go to the Met, but why not if you can afford it? My town is a drag because the symphony folded.
Georges Enescu played a lot of bach sonatas and put his style and personality into them with great results... Here on his romanian rhapsody is where enescus style and self really shines though, and In my opinion this gypsy-ness makes his interpretations of bach and others so great...

I listened to this for the first time today. Scriabin's ambitious 1st symphony in six movements with a final choral movement. Muti's out of print set is highly regarded. I have it on the budget Kitaenko set I just picked up.

I just ordered Pelleas Et Melisande after listening to it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ4rkSykjn4
classical music is being composed even now..pretty sure you heard of Ludovico Einaudi or John Oswald..but there are different time divisions like the early music period (approx 500-1600), the common-practice period (approx 1600-1910) and the 20th century
