In Reply to: RE: Who are your Classical "Marmite" composers? posted by John C. - Aussie on September 12, 2014 at 15:50:50
You got this completely wrong to start with. Marmite is either loved or hated, not overrated. Very big difference.
These kinds of things are always a waste of time. People make impassioned or obstinate arguments that do nothing whatsoever to inform or persuade others. I hate fucking Mozart. Well, you're just stupid then. Wagner is overblown and vapid. Gee, guess I'll quit listening if you really think so. This amounts to self-pleasuring one's ego via the internet.
Two friends of mine saw the Emperor concerto in concert and both thought it was awful music. At first, I mercilessly ridiculed them for being shallow and juvenile, but it did not change their tiny minds one bit. Now I just feel sorry for them.
I hate these kinds of threads, but, judging by the number of serious responses, many others enjoy them. So, Marmite it is.
Peace,
Tom E

And I've never seen the reason for ranking composers as if they were college football teams. If something is interesting and worth listening to for any reason, imo that's all that matters.
