Stamitz: Clarinet Concertos Nos. 2-6 & 10/Concerto for Violin & Clarinet/Concerto for Clarinet & Oboe (Brunner/Chumachenco/Thunemann//Stadlmair/Münchener Kammerorchester) (you can't imagine this pleasant if inconsequential music having been better played in C.

Sneakeater Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 4 "Tragic" (Böhm/Berliner Philharmoniker) (the least tragic anything labelled "tragic" in probably all of Western culture) Gluck: Orfeo ed Eurycide: Dance of the Blessed Spirits//Beethoven: Symphony No. 5//Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream: Scherzo & other incidental music (Toscanini/Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York) of Montreal: The Sunlandic Twins Mayr: Gioas (Brown/Seller/Frey/Burkhardt//Hauk/Simon Mayr Chorus & Ensemble/Bavarian State Opera Chorus) (everything is totally forgettable except the tune that's directly ripped off from Cosi, which is memorable cuz you already know and love it) Price: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4 (Jeter/Fort Smith Symphony) (showing that boring mainstream classical music is boring even when written by a Black woman) Joni Mitchell: The Early Years (1963-1967) (Disc 5) (it's 1967, and you go to a folk club in Ann Arbor, and you hear this 23-year-old with no albums out sing these songs with that voice: what do you think? Other than that you're the luckiest person in the world?)

Rancid: Life Won't Wait Everly Brothers: Down in the Bottom: The Country Rock Sessions 1966-1968 (Disc 3: Roots) (one of the great early country-rock albums -- meaning one of the only great country-rock albums) (one of the great albums of 1968) (I LOVE this album) (the bonus tracks are pretty fab as well) Houston Person: I'm Just a Lucky So and So Beethoven: String Quartets Nos. 12 & 14 (Tokyo String Quartet) (might I opine that No. 14 is the greatest music ever written by a white European male?)
