Mahler and Rachmaninov are simply divine. It's all about the adagios. That's why I'd love to experience Wagner live--different energy all together.

It'd be great to surprise my lover with tickets for a Viola collaboration. It's difficult to name a favorite; but right now, perhaps Ravel.

What an amazing offer. You have a lot of favorites at different times, but when you're listening to Tristan, I think you decide then and there that Wagner is your favorite.

Giuseppe Verdi. I lived a block from the concert hall for years but never had a chance to go see a show... that's the type of a tragic irony urban operas are made of.
