>Romanticism everywhere
I count five recordings, and that's if one counts Brahms are a Romantic composer (which is a big stretch).

You mean "baby's first Impressionist"?

You mean baby's first choral minimalist?

Did somebody just watch Platoon?

No beef with Copland.
>I'm tired of this Vivaldi, Chopin, Haydn, Beethoven, and Bach babby bullshitting
You're tired of the greatest composers of all time? That's too bad for you, frankly. I've only got two of those five on my chart, but I'm not so immature as to suggest that anyone who purports to like them is just faking it. That's idiocy.
>and how cosmopolitan you are when you mix it with the likes of Ke$ha. "wow 2 wel ronded 5 me, wise enuf to leik de old stuf and stil can rokk out XDDD!"
Some people are better-rounded than you are. Deal with it.
>Go spend an afternoon listening to cool opera shit that's out there, I wonder why nobody ever listens to opera here.
I guess you didn't notice the three operas on there (and excerpts from the fourth), as well as the oratorio?
I love it when somebody types a long post like this and all they succeed in doing is demonstrating their own ignorance beyond a shadow of a doubt.
