It just happens that I have some of his violin concertos. Don't listen to it frequent enough to say that I really like Bruch. The most listened to piece is Four Seasons, then Requiem by Mozart.

Which opera is that lot from?
it's possibly the best known aria from the opera it's taken from. O was listening to it today. I'll give you a clue - the character who sings it is Leporello,

sorry, I generally like the various trends in the late nineteenth century but some of these minor composers wrote a load of shite.

there's only one Bruch violin concerto. I'm not that big on Vivaldi - not really my sort of thing. I'm more of a bach man.

Consider that bit in Pulp Fiction where Vincent is buying heroin from Lance.
Lance: This is called Mozart... It's real good ****. That is Beethoven, it's also good ****... Now that last one, it's a mad man. This is Vivaldi. The first cost you the same £300 per track. The last one, cost you £500 per track. But, when you listen to it, you'll know where the extra money went... -

I don't listen to operas... I just don't get them.
what's not to get? It's a story and for some reason everyone sings everything instead of talking normally.

You really like Bruch? Why? What is wrong with you?
Also I had more passport photo type things done today, so I put one up in my profile so you'll all be able to recognise my mug(NB, I've had a hair cut since meeting Rosie)
