Mahler

[Boris Godunov]

Best stuff on earth. You;ll never encounter anyone as capable of encompassing the grand sweep of human emotion and experience in music.

Listen. Learn. Love. Dear lord...

[BeBMan]

So it´s not Brahms anymore?

What do you recommend from Mahler for an amateur in classic music like me?

[Boris Godunov]

Brahms is still great, no doubt.

Mahler? Start with the 1st, of course.

But the 6th is his dark masterpiece. Shattering.

[BeBMan]

Thanks, great one

[Boris Godunov]

The 6th is phenomenal. The finale is simply a brilliant work...utterly gut-wrenching catastrophe. The three hammer blows should send anyone cowering. If this one doesn' t move you, you're hopeless.

never heard of him.

But i'll see what I can find.

Wha?????!!!!!

Gustav Mahler!

[OzzyKP]

I know Norman Mahler.

[Boris Godunov]

That's Norman Mailer, you philistine!

[Berzerker]

Yeah, Bill Maher is pretty funny

[Juggernaut]

Shouldn't you be listening to the Pet Shop Boys?

The classical section at the K-mart here is sadly lacking.

Even sadder is the fact that K-mart is the best place in this town to buy music...

So, is this like the Miami Mahler in that American Wrestling Federation?

Or is it the lead singer of Brit 80s horrorfest boyband, LiMahler?

Or the Turkish version, KeMahler Ataturk?

Or the Afghani one, Babrak KeMahler ?

Or the Russian drink, Mahlertov Cocktail ?

Is it the Filipino state residency, the Mahlercanang Palace?

Or the victory of Marlborough over the French, Mahlerplaquet?

You won't never go to New York, will you?

I might be tempted to follow up with really cheesy Brahms puns, but the slushy romantic slop he came out with is punishment enough.
