I recently finished my project of ripping my "100 Greatest Classic CDs" boxset (AKA "Der Klassiks") onto mp3 to listen to on my iPod and i've been enjoying most of it, especially the polyphonic stuff from the Baroque period. But i just wanted to point out one particular piece. The composer is Camille Saint-Saens, who i had never heard of before, and the work is called The Carnival of The Animals. It's Romantic period music, and in my opinion it's up there with The Nutcracker and Pictures at an Exhibition. Not too drify and spacious like a lot of Romantic music. It has a lot of punch and is probably of interest to a modern audience, especially one into progressive or psychedelic music. min was listening to one song and she said (sarastically), "ooh, this song is very... magical." But it is good.

i am often very sarastic.

Oh. You're mocking me.
