Florist assassins and music

Ad Mundo Exteriore,

Hey, I took the Weiß Kreuz quiz, at Who's Your Inner Florist/Assassin?! My results:



Yeah, like that's really surprising. ::rolls eyes:: Obviously, I would not scream "Takatori!" at the top of my lungs, but since Aya-kun is my favorite character, I choose to say that I would. ::laughs:: I like these quizzes.

We are currently listening to "The Magic Flute" by Mozart, of which everyone must get a copy if it is humanly possible. We just bought our double CD set for only $22 from Best Buy, with Fischer-Dieskau singing the role of Papageno. Fischer-Dieskau, in case you may not have heard of him, is one of my mother's favorite baritones. He is known for his mellow and lucid tone. We also got a CD of him singing various Schubert lieder. Personally, I don't see what's so wonderful about his voice, but hey, he doesn't sound bad at all.

Best Buy has excellent recordings for low prices. We just spent three hours there. ::grins:: They have a $7 recording of "Symphonie Fantastique" by Berlioz, performed by the Boston Philaharmonic. But we couldn't buy...::mourns:: Well, at least we won't have to listen to Bruch's violin concertos and Tchaikovsky's cello concertos over and over again on the trip to Boston and Montreal next weekend. My father likes those two CDs and he plays them on a repeating loop whenever we're in the car. ::groans:: I think I've memorized the main themes to those concertos. I don't even know what number they are, but I'm already sick of them. Ugh. Rachmaninov is better.
