My go-to streaming classical station, KUSC is doing a composer tournament. Vote now! I'm pulling for Tchaikovsky, but he'll have a tough matchup vis-a-vis Bach. I just hope Mozart doesn't take it all. http://www.kusc.org/composerscup/index.aspx#voting |

Bullshit that Bartok did not make the cut. Hopefully Stravinsky will beat the piss out of Vivaldi. |

It's not supposed to be for everyone. |

By the way, I will happily pick Vaughan Williams over Bach in the first round. I absolutely love "The Lark Ascending." |

Wagner-Brahms and Tchaikovsky-Mahler in the first round is some NCAA tournament committee level bullshit. The same goes for the very presence of Copland and Gershwin. I'm shocked Vivaldi didn't make it further; it's still dumb he beat Stravisnky, but The Four Seasons is always stupidly high whenever classical stations do lists of listener favorites. |
