Taste update: Done with Bach and Schumann

Just chiming in to get this off my chest...
so yeah, just like with a lot of other composers I'm done with them...
Fav composers:
1) Mozart
2) Beethoven
3) Schubert
4/5) Haydn/Brahms
Composers I feel are quite inspiring as well: Schönberg, Webern and Berg
R Strauss and Ravel have some cool stuff as well I guess; beautiful and
very interesting soundscapes... problem with Chopin is: too schmaltzy;
Chopin is also not mischievous... he's like... dunno full of himself,
very unfunny... no bite, Chopin is like a vegetarian and Debussy is like
a vegan... no bite...
fav Mozart opera recordings update:
Idomeneo: Gardiner (Archiv)
Serail: *Beecham (EMI), Fricsay (DG) (and Krips (Warner) - not so fond
of Gedda, but the accompaniment is just really good and I like Popp)
nozze: Fricsay (DG), *Suitner (Berlin Classics)
DG: Fricsay (DG), *Klemperer (Warner)
cosi: *Böhm (Decca, Warner), Östman (Decca)
Zauberflöte: Bergman (Arthaus), *Fricsay (DG) (and Klemperer (Warner)
for some special moments)
