Isn't it mysterious how we instantly click with some artists -- while others remain opaque, no matter how much we try!? Berlioz was a composer for whom I had an almost immediate affinity. I first heard Symphonie fantastique in college, and I've been captivated by his music ever since. Indeed .... and to "open the door" seems undoable .... as hard as we try ....

Isn't it mysterious how we instantly click with some artists -- while others remain opaque, no matter how much we try!? So true. I'm listening now to Jean-Yves Thibaudet play Chopin, and he's opening up these Polonaises, Waltzes, Preludes, Mazurkas, Scherzos, Barcarolles and Etudes in a way I haven't heard before. He's showing them as little pictures, set pieces, scenes, showing the life undergirding these compositions. He's bringing them to life for me. Up until now, I've been baffled why people have held these pieces in such high regard - they just sounded odd, with clunky rhythms. Thibaudet is making them sing, at least to me.

Those sorts of breakthroughs are so gratifying! Like someone suddenly turned on the lights in a formerly dark place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
