As resident Music critic, I thought your Cezar Franck first piece was OK.
Very Wagner, IMO. And what is wrong with that?
These are Dark Times.

re #111: What coincidence! Last week I bought this DVD:
Following Einstein on the Beach and Galileo Galilei, Kepler is the 3rd scientists related opera by Philip Glass, which he composed in 2009. This DVD was shot exactly at the same venue and featuring the same ensemble of the premiere just a few weeks back.
As Glass is an American composer, the genuine libretto by Austrian librettist Martina Winkler surprisingly is in German and Latin language, mostly consisting of quotes by Johannes Kepler himself and the biblical Genesis.
What a fascinating peace of music! Watching and listening (I've extracted the audio from the DVD) still makes me goosebubbles! Last but not least, look at the three beautiful solo female singers, sopranists Cassandra McConnell and Karen Robertson, and mezzosoprano Katerina Hebelkova. A gala dinner for both eyes and ears!
Best regards!

This are Italian contributions of symphonic brass, not German ones. The orchestra is located in Villnöß, Southern Tyrolia. And I really like them, both. What a brilliance in performing!
Best regards!

That is funny they are in Italy but " According to the 2011 census, 97.69% of the population speak German,
1.99% Italian and 0.32% Ladin as first language ".
Something similar on French border are peoples of Alsace region with German cultural roots
Kind regards
