The Beatles. What can I say that hasn't already been said? They were the best. Click here for a list of my favorite Beatles songs.
As a member of The Beatles, Paul McCartney wrote consistently outstanding songs. Since then, only a few of his songs have achieved the same level of quality. But some do! Click here for my list of the very best songs from Paul McCartney's post-Beatles career.
John Lennon, we still grieve that your great talent was snuffed out by a senseless act of violence. Here are my favorites from John Lennon's painfully short post-Beatles career.
All things must pass, but the memory of them motivates us still. George Harrison, we will remember you and your music
with gladness in our hearts.
The Viola Concerto (1951) by Hungarian composer Gyula Dávid (1913-1977) is a fine example of an undeservedly neglected work. No recording of this masterpiece is yet available on CD, so in the meantime give this 1961 LP recording a listen (Hungaroton SLPX 12452; Pál Lukács, viola; Hungarian State Orchestra; János Ferencsik, conductor). As soon as this work is released on CD, please let me know and I will remove the LP recording from my web site. Happy Listening!
