In the Thread: Non-classical genius (starting with Leonard Cohen)
Post Subject: I do not know how about 'genius'…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/12/2008
Paul, I would like generally to keep the music section of this site excitedly dedicate to classical music. The rational is not based on my personal preferences but from the fact that my site is audio-centric and nothing beside classical repertoire has audio value and audio interest. It does not mean that I do not listen anything besides classical music, I do but I would never consider looking at those listening experiences as anything that has any audio significance. I do not know how about call them genius but there were many interning harmonies I many musical directions, even in rap. So what? The Pink Floyd, Queen, Beatles and Led Zeppelin for instance had some extremely interesting harmonies but considering how then were rendered in the actual music those harmonies has no meaning to handle them with audio methods.
Regarding Leonard Cohen, I am happened to be a fan of him as well and own whatever he released, including a few bootlegs. Unfortunately, Cohen’s LS were not lucky as he has not the best versions on them. Probably the best single album that Cohen relisted with the truly the best (in my view) version of the each of the included songs (with exeption of "Aleluia") was his CD “Leonard Cohen in Concert” (Columbia CK 80188)
