RE: A Classical Music Work You Really Cannot Listen To

Posted by Larry I on August 11, 2015 at 05:34:21:

There are some works I heard that I have no big interest in hearing again, but, I don't think that "hate" would be the way I would characterize my feelings. I suppose something that is played a lot and which I am all too familiar with and which I cannot avoid, might fall int that category, but, for the most part I will simply avoid that music. The thing that does annoy me a bit is listening to the morning and evening rush hour popular classics on the one decent FM station in the Washington DC area (the Baltimore station does not always come in cleanly). The play list is too short so one ends up hearing the "Carmen Suite" all too often. At least that station has a digital subcarrier that offers vocal music, but, it too, has a somewhat limited playlist (predominantly Baroque opera selections). I like modern composers/compositions that often make "hate" lists, and very little of that music is played on the radio (how long would I have to listen before someone like Kaija Saariaho is played on this station?).

While I don't really "hate" anything, I have bought CDs that I have listened to only once and probably will never listen to again. A collection of Leroy Anderson works comes to mind.
