In Reply to: Brahms was even less enthusiastic posted by rbolaw on April 1, 2012 at 12:31:25:
(when we had a streaming video performance of Brahms's First Symphony going on our system). . . I'd rather be listening to the Organ Symphony! (She was not amused.)
Actually, I do like Brahms a lot - I just don't like the aura of musical sainthood that many listeners try to create for him. OTOH, I think that Saint-Saëns is too easily dismissed as a musical light-weight, so I take the opportunity to promote/defend his music any time I can.
