I got another Palestrina CD a couple weeks ago. Man, I love his masses.

And I watched my "Die Zauberflote" DVD with my parents a couple nights ago... that's just fun.

Yep

From the site mentioned above
Dovrefjell har en spesiell plass, både i norsk kultur og natur.
Et av de mest kjente norske musikkstykker (av Edward Grieg) heter nettopp
"I Dovregubbens hall", og Eidsvollsmennene som laget norges grunnlov i 1814 uttalte de senere berømte ordene: "Enige og tro til Dovre faller" etter at de hadde fullført verket sitt.

Explains it all. Here and after, I will say "I Dovrekungens Sal" ("gubbe" has another meaning in swedish, at least in gothenburgish. Means like "old man")instead... Those swedes that translated it must have got it all wrong

bach above all...

he started modern music...

then beethoven,bartok,mussorgski,stravinsky,listz,wagner.

i don't like so much mozart i consider him a bit commercial (for that times)and pompous

i can't stand romanticism like brahms and schubert, schumann...

i am working for an opera theatre and last year i listen RE LEAR
by a dodecaphonic german composer albert reitmann,amazing stuff!

then i listen to alot of experimental avantgarde like xenakis,cage,berio,stockausen etc..
