Ha yes I was excited when I got the CD in the mail. I hurriedly put it in the player in my den and when No 6 came on my wife thought someone was in the street making a horrible noise. I said no that’s the CD player. So I’ll have to listen with headphones I guess.
Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who experiences this kind of thing!
'Must we listen to this noise?' and 'It sounds like World War Three has broken out' are common responses to my musical selection.
Yes... I started listening to his other symphonies last night for reference... I'm thinking this Symphony no 6 is somewhat of an aberration .... maybe William Schuman (another New Yorker) may had some influence....
