Please excuse the fumbling around, classical music is not something I listen to much. I don't really know what I'm doing here, but that has never before stopped anyone who possesses both an opinion and an internet connection!
My taste in classical music tends to lean towards the "we're going to war, get me an orchestra to fire up the troops" style, so I kinda picked the wrong compilation. Pomp and Circumstance is probably closest to this style, but I don't really rate it. While the chorus is nice and catchy, it feels awkwardly tacked on to the rest of the song.
Bach's Toccato and Fugue in D Minor just screams "mad scientist bashing away at an organ". Hell yeah! A brilliant celebration of insanity. The only thing that could possibly make it more ridiculously extroverted was if it was played by the fury of over a thousand volts arcing through the air.
So... do these songs compare well with their contemporaries? Is this recording well played and conducted? I have no idea! Like I said, a terrible review...
