During the holiday season we had wonderful programming from Scandinavia thanks to Internet radio. The Scandinavians have a wonderful tradition with choral music and especially the tunes around christmastime are very enjoyable with some very excellent renditions of those tunes BUT.........
that type of playlist listening destroyed the patience for "complete" works like symphonies or even Bach cantatas. After a few bars, I noticed that I was distracted, anticipating the next movement or even getting up to change tracks.
It took a whole week without any media (not even the analog radio in the car) to get back into the groove of things. I still am not "comfortable" sitting for 30 - 45 minutes, but at least my mind is not wandering. I am looking for strategies for "casual" listening. Maybe I need a real shit playback for that stuff.......Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
