Listening to?!! Franz Lachner's Fifth symphony, but I'll be taking it off shortly as it's been left on repeat for hours.Not that I've been listening to it all the time. It's not that good!! I was replacing a dodgy video recorder with an even older one that,hopefully works. (And yes,I do have a dvd player! ;D) A post at the 'other' forum prompted me to have another listen to Lachner 5! An intriguing and rather obscure 19th c symphony. The theme in the first movement is great,but I can't help think what a composer like Schumann might have made of it. The finale is lively and makes up for a lack of rhythmic variety and memorable themes in between movements 1 & 2. In short,I find it intriguing and I quite like it;but I won't be playing it that much!! ;D Maybe,a little more Lachner (his eighth) then? Lachner is sometimes referred to as a sort of 'missing link' (No,not that kind!! ;D) . I'm not really that convinced by what I've heard so far,but it would be nice to get a chance to hear his other,unrecorded,symphonies.(Edit:shortened a bit! :))
