The utterly fantastic Internet with Youtube is all but taken for granted these days but I'm old enough to recall, painfully, what it was like without these media. For a mere search and mouse click, any composer's music can be found now-- complete with beautiful camera panning over the orchestra. I'm in the mood for a little serious music today and Mahler's 5th Symphony creates just that feeling that resonantes with me at this time. Maybe you'll enjoy it too. This is a 1 1/2 hr. concert... with lots of drama and timpani drums, french horns and wild changes in volume. After listening to ELO in the last entry, it seems fitting to continue the orchestra theme into this realm.
