Re: A bit of classical music
He is definitely one of mine - I absolutely love Mahler - especially this particular piece. His setting of Goethe's words is extraordinary and the words themselves, "Alles Vergangliche ist nur ein gleichnis" (All that is transient is but an illusion) is a good lesson for those of us who get het up about the everyday. I am 100% non-religious, but if anything could convert me it would be this piece of music.
