Human tastes can be awful in the short run (Cage, serialism), but in the long run the meritorious, that which is true and beautiful, finds its way back to the surface. The music of the elder Bach went through a period of similar disdain as that of Strauss. But Strauss is back baby!

His Alpine Symphony is one I listen to with headphones and no interruptions at least once a week. It's food for the soul, especially in these down times when it's too icy for rock climbing but too soon for ice.

His Ein Heldenleben is the one I listen to often, probably equal in beauty to the Alpine Symphony.
