You have a very experienced ear and brain. I mostly lack both qualities, so I think I'd better off sticking with what I have, and maybe buy a new winter coat. We are being crushed by the Polar Vortex in Denmark.
I live in an old, poorly insulated flat. I need the coat for indoors use.'
But maybe you also have some music mind that will nicely complement the Polar Vortex and be a substitute for the winter coat?
Follow Ups:
Sometimes, we'll get some morning frost - although it seems much less than we used to get. I have a browser whose "start page" always shows the temperature of Oslo Norway - this time of year, at any given time of the day, they're about 40 degrees F colder than we are! Of course, I don't think they get earthquakes like we do!
It's always somethin'!
BTW, I thought people in Denmark were so happy, based on "world happiness ratings" - or am I thinking of Finland? And they can't even supply you with a winter coat? That wouldn't make ME very happy! For your situation, the only music I'd have in mind would be Tapiola by Sibelius!
Looks like they don't have any winter coats either!
Chris, I have a couple of recordings of Tapiola. One by Karajan with the BPO and another by Vanska with the Lahti SO. I Have a couple of cycles, one by Paavo Berglund and another by Segerstam. (I know, he's slow).
. . . I've enjoyed what I've heard from both of his cycles. And I think that Berglund recording you have is really very fine, although I'm not sure which of his cycles you're referring to - my favorite of the three is the earliest, the EMI one with the Bournemouth SO. I remember listening to his Sibelius Fourth from this cycle when it had just come out on LP - it also contained the tone poem, "The Bard". Ms. CfL and I had just been married and we both used to listen to it. It just seemed to be such extraordinary music to both of us - and still does!
BTW, despite my attempt at humor in my previous post, I sincerely wish you the best in obtaining a new winter coat.
