Love Gershwin.

I dont have any what so ever. After spending my childhood cacooned in my dads Morris Traveller full of Old Holborn and St Bruno pipe smoke and listening to Beethoven, believe me, I hate it.

Tried anyone else.
There are lots.

I feel a new thread coming on. Top 10 composers/operas/arias/soloists.

Hard for me to choose favourites really. There is so much to love. If I really had to I would say just about anything by Mozart, the cheeky little wizard.

love all the great Operas, have a childhood of Holst, Tchaikovsky and Handel And grown to love works By most of the more well known. Dvorak, Sibelus, Stravinsky, Barbour and Vaughn Williams especially.

Needs an oratorio section!

Nope, there is a principle at stake. I did once start a riot with my dad by claiming Elton John was a better pianist than Beethoven though...

The Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven is probably my favourite. It's absolutely timeless and beautiful.

Was A Clockwork Orange based on your life?

'Te Deum' from Puccinis 'Tosca?'
Tito Gobi looks and sounds so menacing that wish that Tosca would give that knife to me;)

Cheers. I think it's better when done with the full 'Bad Bastard' build up like in the one he did in Paris with Maria Callas. Might even been the same performance. Same wig certainly.
Saw it first done by Opera North at the Palace.
With the spectacle of being in the dark with all the colour, costumes, louder volume right at the end and even the smell of incense floating around as the curtain falls, l just thought 'fuuukkkinnell' before quickly exercising my senses of touch and taste with a pint in the bar.
