    Maybe it works with the shortened URL too. By shortened URL, I mean the kind with the "youtu.be" in it.

              MacDowell:
              Woodland Sketches
              The Sea

              Anyone play his music at all? I find it easy on the ears but tough on the fingers.

                      What a glorious work! Here's a moving passage on YouTube (I have isolated the extract in the link that follows), a wonderful build up to a "chorale" that always knocks my socks off, a bit like struggling up a foggy mountain trail and then the sun bursts out...

                      I know Bruckner has many detractors, I'm always puzzled by that.
                      One of the worst was Brahms. Perhaps there was some envy in his attitude towards him. The fourth is the most famous of his symphonies and I think there is a good reason: just that it is formidable (or at least I used to think so). Excuse me for not having replied to your post in this thread about the agnus Dei in the D major and C major masses ("You want austere?"). I began to write but then I found the (my) post extemporaneous. I consider 19th century sacred music rather theatrical, including Mozart's requiem. You can look for an archetypical mass only within the epoch during which liturgical works were mainstream music. And the rest are (is) love's labour's lost, in spite of musicologists' opinions. (Is this not lapidary?)
