In Reply to: My favorite Strauss waltzes are by Erich Kunzel on Soundstream perhaps Telarc will release it on SACD? posted by Teresa on March 31, 2007 at 22:04:56:
Why don't we remake "Raging Bull", only with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in the big fight scenes, and lots of anvils and clanging sounds? Don't you think "The Sound and the Fury" would be so much better with more, you know, pictures and stuff? Maybe we could add bunnies and retitle it "The Sound and the Furry"! Wouldn't that be more entertaining?I trust this recommendation is another April Fool's joke. Strauss waltzes with sound effects? Who cares if it sells for a million bucks on ebay? So does genuine Nazi war memorabilia. I find it difficult to take seriously anything you say about music. Aren't you the person who claimed Mozart wasn't all that great a composer, and then steadfastly argued the point against all comers?
