    Quote
    Something few English speakers realize is that when Pilate asked Jesus "What is truth?" in John 18:38, the phrase in latin is "Quid est veritas?" which is an anagram for "Est vir qui adest." Which translates to "The man in front of you."

    Pilate answered his own question

    This has always struck a chord with my melancholy:


    I like that version too, but I think this one has an edge over it. 



    This is one of my favorites:

    Smetana - The Moldau



    I heard this the other day on NPR.  Glorious.  They really need to stick to music.

    Incidentally, "smetana" means "sour cream".  In Polish it's "śmietana".

    • I enjoy, in this order --

    1) anything Vivaldi (it's all excellent)
    2) anything Franz Joseph Haydn
    3) my "sinful pleasure" -- Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos 2 & 3
    4) Beethoven Violin Concerto

    I'm less enamored of Mozart and much prefer Haydn.  Mozart to me seems very immature and flighty, whereas Haydn's music I find very mature and sophisticated.  Perhaps there's some bias due to 1) Haydn having been a devout Catholic and 2) over-hearing Mozart.  I find that Mozart has been so beaten to death that it almost seems to me as if it's all the same.

    I much prefer Vivaldi to Bach.  I did get a bit of Vivaldi fatigue from over-listening, mostly to the 4 Seasons, but then I found the recording by the Jєω Gil Shaham and Orpheus, and it was a very interesting take on Vivaldi that I very much enjoyed

    I also enjoyed the Jєω Joshua Bell's rendition of Beethoven Violin Concerto.

    Perhaps this'll give ammunition to Sean's accusation that I'm a Jєω :laugh1:

    On the other hand, I find Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern to be both INCREDIBLY OVERRATED ... probably just because they're Jєωs.

    • A pretty cool site/app I found recently:

    https://www.classicalradio.com/

    Personally, I have been enjoying the Liszt channel. It came to me to find a website like this, given that I tend to lose time in the YT rabbit hole given all the distractions on that site.
