In my last video – the penultimate in the composer series – I look at some of the other composers who were considered for the list of the top ten composers who ever lived, but who didn’t make it – and why.
Among those featured are Mendelsohnn, Brahms, Aaron Copland, Sergei Prokofiev, Carl Orff and Stravinsky, with mentons of Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Puccini, Liszt and Chopin. Can you handle the truth?
There are excerpts from Copland’s Appalachian Spring, Brahms’ 3rd Symphony, Carmina Burana, Mendelsohnn’s Hebrides suite and Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet.
Next week I will be looking at the “Emperor’s Clothing Syndrome” in music, arts and society in general and hopefully puncturing some pretentious balloons.
