What a composer Francaix was. A man who just wouldn't conform to the avant garde trend that boomed all around him. His time is yet to come as a genius. A total credit to French music, while Boulez was systematically destroying it.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses einzigartigen doch perfekt konstruierten Quintetts mit derselben Kombination der fünf Blasinstrumente wie im ersten Quintett. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und auch bezaubernd. Die intime und perfekt balancierte Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den fünf Virtuosen ist ebenso bewundernswert wie im ersten Quintett. Wahrlich faszinierend!

Un régal sonore, truculent, gouleyant pour toutes les parties du cortex. Merci Jean Françaix.

If someone writes really good music that is a half century out of date do they still win some kind of prize?

[@fstover5208]

Yes, it's called getting performed. It's the only prize worth anything to the composer.

I would prefer being know by very few for having composed music they love, than being known by everyone for writing inaudible garbage that no one had ever imagined to write before.

sounds like bach having a panic attack. i give it ****

Bach's music is in everything we listen to, and I mean everything. Panic attack or not. :-)

@@jimrader5299 Ha Ha Ha. After researching Patti Smith it doesn't look as if she's ever had a music lesson in her life. Either that or nobody will own up to teaching her. However, by listening to Because the Night (chosen at random) you can clearly hear influences of Bach, even in the broken arpeggios at the beginning. Then the chords moving from dominant to tonic are straight out of practically everything Bach wrote. You see, if it wasn't for Bach's genius, Patti Smith wouldn't exist my friend. Neither would almost everything you hear today.
