drunkasaskunk 194 Posted Friday at 18:39 A hands-on approach brought imagination and depth to a second movement that unfolded with a melancholy stateliness. Steadfast resolve and delicate reflection gave way by turns to a warmly consoling conclusion. The Allegro giocoso, with rasping contrabassoon and fluttering piccolo to the fore, was a riot. But it was the mighty passacaglia finale – sculpted here with a rare clarity – that really struck home, its desolate solemnity illuminated by passages of expansive beauty and calm SO SAYS THE GUARDIAN !!!!

Deathrace 1,171 Posted Friday at 20:24 Better candidates to retain on the list for 2025. He needs to be dropped. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,435 Posted Friday at 23:24 There was a question on The Chase tonight about his instrument of choice (the contestant answered violin). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonNgoat 150 Posted Saturday at 13:12 An 82 year old with vasculitis - but still travelling around the world and performing live - is not a strong or interesting pick for the list, a certain drop next year imo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,642 Posted Saturday at 13:27 Honestly, if this bloke died in 2025 and he wasn’t on the list I doubt many ppl on here would care. Boring name, and there are a lot of others who are sicker who should make the list instead. Drop. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funnily enough had they picked Tilson Thomas nothing would’ve changed score wise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,974 Posted Saturday at 14:54 I like to think that I was responsible for getting him, and Franz Beckenbauer, on the list. If that's the case, sorry, committee, I only got it half-right. If there are hard decisions to be made, Barenboim is probably on the chopping block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every year unless we get a year that we can hit the magically 25 number there will be cuts that need to happen and there is always a chance that a person that is cut dies the next year. But I agree with @Ulitzer95 in that even if it happens there will not be that much of an outrage over it. It isn't like he would be a Dick VanDyke type of miss. The committee this year is going to have to do a lot of cutting unfortunately, and he seems to be an easy pick to release. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
