It probably gets really boring, me banging on and on about the same old CDs over-and-over again, but you have to understand that my life is very limited at the moment. Even a trip to a local Town Centre for a few shops leaves me exhausted. I took all of Sunday to recover from the excitement of the FA Cup Final, preceded by the Spanish Royal Wedding.
So I can only really blog about what happens in my internal world, dominated by CDs, DVDs, TV and the internet. Sorry...
It's probably not good to keep playing the same CD over-and-over again. But I want to. I love it - Beethoven's Christus am Ölberge.
Absolutely fab music - Beethoven at his underrated best, IMO. And three really fab singers. Okay, two, I think the Bass is good, not fab.
But my problem is, and this all stems back to the guilt brainwashed into me as part of my Catholic upbringing/education, that when I listen to music I really really like, it evokes in me an emotional and physical reaction, bordering on the erotic ie I'm sexually aroused.
But that can't be right - after all, this is sacred music. Passion, in this context, means Good Friday (actually, Maundy Thursday, if I remember my New Testament right...), and to be erotically stimulated by such music is very very bad.
Curse my Catholic guilt thing.
(Mind you my friend always claim to have a Jewish guilt thing, even though, technically she's not Jewish - her late father was - and she was brought up secular).
