I love Mozart in general partly because his intellect allowed him to compose right out of his head. The numbers of compositions was and is astounding. His "Requiem" is very moving, but I find I stop listening once "his" part in the composition is over.
Berlioz' "Requiem" is awesome. I must have blared the third movement out of my house and car windows a hundred times. Who am I trying to impress? Who knows? But when the heavens open and the brass are sounding, y' just gotta share it with someone. Right? LOL! Even if they go, "Eww, what is that?" HaHaHaHaHa......... Poor souls. Undoubtly stuck in the second millenium's cacophony of sounds they loosely call "music." Ack. To me, the only good, culture changing musicians of recent years were the Beatles and Prince. Otherwise, it all sounds the same. Or maybe I'm just getting old.......................... Y' think?
