There's a dog on instagram who follows my dog on instagram and whose name is Gustavo Dudamel.

Glad to hear that, Jeff. This piece definitely had that effect on me. Must have listened to it seven thousand times this week on the MTA for that very purpose.

The name Gustavo Dudamel always reminds me of that line from Wayne's World: "If she were a president she'd be Baberaham Lincoln!"

Clever, Linda! Ranjit: see if your pup likes that joke ;)

Baberaham Lincoln line = sillliest line in the whole film. & that says a lot.

In a Simpsons episode, Homer asks Apu if he has any Skittlebräu, the beer with candy floating in it.

I wonder if Ligeti liked being made famous by '2001'...or if he felt like Stravinsky did about 'Fantasia'...
Avatar 8:47pm
Bethany Ryker:

Interesting question. Anyone know?
Avatar 8:47pm
Linda Lee:

high quality cacophony is actually soothing ~ but 'easy listening' is aggravating!

Jeff:

So this guy works as a music editor, and his specialty is music from 1600 to 1750. Sometimes works from earlier or later would come to his desk by mistake, and he couldn't resist fiddling with them. Finally his boss calls him on the carpet and tells him....

I love this show. I play classical music and I love the stuff you pick. And by the way is there an The Erl-King - Poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Music by Schubert in the Halloween future? or Bald Mountain or Danse Macabre? My Halloween Nightmare is spelled Clarinet reed (you had to be there)

bunyan:

The quick look I did so far showed that Ligeti was not all that happy with his pieces being used without his permission (Kubrick ditched the original Alex North soundtrack in favor of classical music, without informing North - Kubrick being Kubrick?), but what apparently annoyed him more was having his work featured in a soundtrack that also included Johann Strauss, Jr. and Richard Strauss (which now begs another question...).
