Now on to some 24/96 Debussy, the Piano Trio from this recording:
It is interesting how we go through phases in our listening choices. Sure, there are only so many times that you want to listen to Beethoven's Fifth, but that still doesn't bring me to madrigals by Filippo Bonaffino. Occasionally I'll run across a $2 lp of a Gesualdo type and take a flier, but I'm not tuned in to the 15th century... nor the 21st century. Musical taste is even more varied than gastronomic taste. If I run across an interesting Eric Satie, it gets snatched up... one of the thousands of obscure Bach pieces written for the next Sunday mass, not so much. But if on a desert island with 10 recordings, three would be jazz, 4-5 would be classical/romantic, 1-2 might be baroque, 1 might be 20th century. Just too much to discover to spend time with Bern Herbolsheimer's Quartet for Bear, Monkey, Goat, and Jackass. However, it seems impossible to overdose on Chopin. In 50+ years of playing his little pieces, I never tire of his work.
