Espressoschmekt,

I'm always fair - to Germany & everyone else. Germany did have a choice: it could have mobilised but not declared war - it chose war. No -one had declared war on Germany. It's true that war was not in Germany's interest: probably no country really wanted war at the time. Britain ...

You're welcome! The music that you use is pretty good, but for me Metamorphosen is especially suitable. BTW I'm not a GREAT admirer of Strauss, tho' I think he was an able composer.

"Erlkoenig" has nothing to do with paedophilia: it's about a dying child whose illness fills his mind with fantasies, while his father tries to reassure him. Erlkoenig is not a paedophile, but something even grimmer - Death.

I agree 100%+ with the praise for Fischer-Dieskau - he's the complete ma...

@mctous1

This is a truly beautiful movement (I would say moving, but that might sem a bit repetitive!)

I'm interested in the connection that you draw with Bruckner: IMO the Austrian master requires more patience, but they're both red-&-gold composers.
