Anyone still with me? After hearing good things about it, I listened to Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite recently. Terrible! I couldn't believe it. Wagner, Mahler (sub-Wagner and unbelievably boring), Shostakovich (mostly), Tchaikovsky, and Ralph bloody Vaughan Williams. Phew. That's a load off. I wanted to say that for years. Thanks!    Posted:   Sep 8, 2006 - 9:55 PM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) Leonard Bernstein Andre Previn Vaughn Williams William Walton John Cage    Posted:   Sep 8, 2006 - 10:06 PM     By:   Heath   (Member) Oh and Les Six. Not to be confused with Lesley Six, the last in a series of identical android bandleaders popular in 1950s Northern England, or indeed John Barry Seven.    Posted:   Sep 8, 2006 - 11:04 PM     By:   crazyunclerolo   (Member) Parade of the Dimwits.    Posted:   Sep 9, 2006 - 4:26 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Parade of the Dimwits.    Posted:   Sep 9, 2006 - 5:29 AM     By:   Essankay   (Member) And let's not forget that awful Brahms. Ugh!    Posted:   Sep 9, 2006 - 7:16 AM     By:   Membership Expired   (Member) Anyone who's not a film composer is overrated!    Posted:   Sep 9, 2006 - 8:34 AM     By:   The_Mark_of_Score-O   (Member) As the Nazis called it, "Entartete Musik."    Posted:   Sep 9, 2006 - 11:34 AM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) Most,if not all,of those still alive.    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 11:57 AM     By:   Jehannum   (Member) Most,if not all,of those still alive. So as soon as they die, they'll no longer be overrated?    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 11:59 AM     By:   Jehannum   (Member) Mozart. His music seems to be a stream of consciousness. Too easily-wrought. I don't exactly hate it, but it just passes over me like a lukewarm breeze.    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 12:38 PM     By:   Timmer   (Member) Parade of the Dimwits. LOL....that startled the lot of them, caught like rabbits in the headlights    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 12:40 PM     By:   Timmer   (Member) Most,if not all,of those still alive. Examples?    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 2:19 PM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) Examples? '42.4 minutes of silenceor whatever that was-him for starters.Those whose music sounds like a first time out school band tooning up. Blah blah blah.    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 2:22 PM     By:   Prince Damian   (Member) So as soon as they die, they'll no longer be overrated? Yes.Well no.The appreciation grows.I mean Tchaik had a hard time when alive,now look at him(though not literally)    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 4:08 PM     By:   Timmer   (Member) '42.4 minutes of silenceor whatever that was-him for starters.Those whose music sounds like a first time out school band tooning up. Blah blah blah. That's not very specific Damian, there's a LOT of recorded composers of modern concert music out there. I get the impression that you haven't heard much by them? Precisely 'whose' works have you heard to be able to say they're overrrated?    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 5:29 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Bizet, Vivaldi, Liszt, Handle, Sibelius, Dvorak...

BACH can never be overrated. And Liszt, is UNDERATED if anything! Only a professional music critic could have so little taste in music> Am I right?    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 6:19 PM     By:   Heath   (Member) Bit of a silly thing to say seeing as all, and I mean all, pro music critics would regard me as a neanderthal for such an expression of sacrilege. Beethoven, Mozart and those other safely pickled icons are their crutches, their anchors in a flat, comfortably predictable landscape that would otherwise be torn apart by the likes of Berg, Ives and other horrid mocking "modernists". Don't assume I have lousy taste from what I don't like. Now, if I said that I loved Jean Michel Jarre, then you could say it.    Posted:   Sep 11, 2006 - 8:11 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Are you saying you DO NOT like JMM?!!!!!!!!! brm     Non-Film Score Discussion: overrated composers    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
