THIS IS MY SCRAPBOOK, MY BLOG, MY RANT RAG AND POET'S CORNER.
ADDITIONALLY, AN IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF THIS BLOG IS THAT IT ALLOWS ME TO STORE LECTURES AND TALKS WHICH I FIND NECESSARY NEARBY FOR REFERENCE.

Brahms Symphony 2 Riccardo Muti, New York Philharmonic
I cannot believe that I have lived this long without really ever appreciating this magnificent work of art. I post this as a blog without any indication that anyone today would care. But I care, so this is why it appears here. I rate Brahms Symphony 2 up there with Beethoven's Symphony 6 and his Ninth. It may be the most beautiful single work of music that I have ever listened to. It transports me out of my body and into a state of pure ecstasy.
