Which people, the general pleb public ? because they wouldnt be interested in it anyway to cast an opinion. I think you're blinded by your overt fan status here because the dante trilogy is mostly very poor and I cannot accept that it would ever be held alongside the true Classical geniuses (past and present)bigmoog wrote:BILGE
people regard beethoven, bach etc, as 'genius' because of inherited wisdom, not personal realisation of genius in the music......
its inevitable that 'dante' will enter classic status in thee future
so we'll have to agree to disagreebigmoog wrote:the only status I have is one of being alive
the point i make is that DANTE will become a classic, whether its shite or not......bach is shite imho, but its still genius
It's all a matter of personal taste, as it is with anything in this world. I love some classical music and some I think is utter bilge but even the 'to me' bilge ones are still classed as classics. Be it music, film or art, once the person/band has passed on their work becomes 'classic' and people will pay a fortune for it (even if to some it is total garbage). I see no reason why TD's stuff will be any different. When I die a relative/friend or whoever will either make a fortune out of my TD and numerous other artists collections or they will all end up in a skip - who knows!! Hopefully not a skip because I would like to think they will go to someone who will cherish them and give them a good home but I guess I will never know - I can just hope!! But that wasn't what I said. I didn't mention the word size. The quality of the music could be that great that it is a masterpiece. But my knowledge of music isn't that great. I like something or not.JD wrote:hansx wrote:Maybe it is a meisterwork. But as it is with a lot of masterpieces, it takes some time to be regarded as.

I really dont think that a few hundred years down the line people are going to suddenly discover that the dante trilogy is a masterpiece or work of genius ????? There's a reason why people regard Beethoven, Bach etc as a genius y'know and its nothing to do with the fact they may have written a long piece of music.
Size isnt everything !

But that is your opion, presume you don't like the vocal TD. I am not to fond of it either, but the 3 albums have all their moments. Besides you have to be in the mood for it.JD wrote:hansx wrote:JD wrote: But that wasn't what I said. I didn't mention the word size.

No I know, but the size of the dante trilogy is the only thing I thought you could have been impressed enough about to say it might be a meisterwork
Actually i like Vocal TD ...everything but this, although I am yet to hear Purgatorio . The whole thing to me sounds like it could be a local amateur production in the village hall, seriously !!hansx wrote:JD wrote:But that is your opion, presume you don't like the vocal TD.

Hmm, suppose there are a lot of others here who don't agree with you at all about this.JD wrote: Actually i like Vocal TD ...everything but this, although I am yet to hear Purgatorio . The whole thing to me sounds like it could be a local amateur production in the village hall, seriously !!

By the way this does seem to have drifted away from the original question but then they normally do!!
