New week rolling out, daily...
Focus is on Classical right now, polishing up my ratings of the works themselves and updating the best recordings where needed. _________________ Best Classical

Updated through 11-26-17 ^^^ First post, first page ... Mainly Classical ... plus a rewarding revisit of 1990's film Total Recall -- absurd, cartoonish, but also lively, wildly entertaining, compellingly and artistically "trashy" (reminiscent of the vibrant, trashy excess of some parts of Lang's great German Expressionist films, such as Metropolis). Also, finally saw 127 Hours, which was pretty good. Not much material to work with, but Boyle does an excellent job considering the limitations. Especially with the dream/hallucinatory/memory scenes, without which the film would've had far too little cinematic & emotional depth, despite being a remarkable true story. _________________ Best Classical

New week rolling out daily. Still focused on Classical, mainly a mixture of revisiting what's already listed and polishing up ratings/rankings as needed, as well as adding familiar works to my list that haven't been ranked/rated yet -- (hopefully) with a "best recording" chosen... _________________ Best Classical

Updated through 12-10-17 ... First page, first post ^^^ ... Was overwhelmed by the miracles of Mozart this week, particularly his Piano Concertos ... His compositional, melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and lyrical genius was so astounding and miraculous that it is almost too incredible to believe that there was once a single composer capable of such profundity of expression through such a perfect elicitation and economy of instrumentation and (upon surface impression) what may seem like "simple" means, the result of which appears completely natural (yet no composer has ever been able to replicate it) ... _________________ Best Classical
