Just finished South of the Border, West of the Sun. I am blown away.
This book is absolutely incredible! The finale, most importantly, is in my opinion a recall to modernism (epiphanies/moments of being). It is also full of symbolism.
I absolutely adore the psychological introspection of this wonderful but short novel. It builds in 200 pages what many can't build in a lifetime. The message is also incredible, I think it really resonates with my own life experience. I don't have much more to say, I am sorry. Perhaps more things will come as I reflect on the book. I just had to tell this!!!

Liszt: Organ Works
Why does no one talk about them? They are visionary.

I have found this recording of Liszt's organ works by Thomas Trotter and I am blown away. I still did not finish the whole album, and I am already writing this post. They're absolutely aethereal, they sound like they have come from the other side. They are death and uncertainty made into music, with life and order within them! These are something else. Liszt stretches the limits of ordinary organ music, creating incredibly interesting sonorities and moods. Give these a listen!!

Song Cycles Recordings
Hi. I am looking for the best recordings of Brahms and Schubert's song Cycles, and in general of all their songs. I've already listened to the Winterreise cycle with Andràs Schiff and Peter Schreier. Lovely. Would love to hear more.
