I am surprised that Beethoven IX Ode to
Joy didn't make the cut. Looks like Karajan didn't make the cut
either. I thought he was generalmusikdirecktor of the universe. J
Thanks Elmer for the joke. I (italics
added) thought is was funny. If I were an alien I would have asked for some
Mahler and Bruckner too.
