Greatest Composers of All Time

Chayro,
Agree completely, taking hard earned money from one to redistribute to another who had no role in earning it is hardly a sound definition of civilization.
Regards,

"I'm going to stay out of rating composers, I'll just listen to their work and be thankful for it."

Well said Rcprince, couldn't agree with you more. My "rating" is more like my favorites based on current listening, subject to change at any given time. There is so much to discover and enjoy.

I really hope this doesn't get sidetracked into the motivations of "audiophiles". It would be just great to share and turn on the uninitiated to some of the greatest art man has created.

Charles1dad, there's no sense going into that old argument, especially here. But if you want to talk about spending money, at the NY Show, the Coincident Pure Reference speakers were absolutely stunning with the matching electronics, which I believe you already have. You really need to buy them. I was joking around with Israel Blume, and I told him I had a pair of Partial Eclipse speakers and he offered to take them back if I wanted to go for the Pure References, so there might be a deal in it for you. Enjoy.

Realizing that everything you have belongs to God and you reason for being is to help others makes you a beliver.
Bach said it and I belive it.

Giving it to corrupt goverment enities makes you a victim.
Bach said that to and I belive that as well.

Tubegroover, I spoke once with Christopher Herrick, a concert organist, and asked him which of the Bach Trio Sonatas (which he plays beautifully, BTW) he liked best; his response was whichever one he was playing at the time. I guess I'm sort of the same way when it comes to my favorite composers and pieces of music.
