Definitely with you on that one. From Borodin to Prokofiev my music collection has a definite Russian bias. Hats off to Beethoven for (in my opinion) getting the Romantic ball rolling, but once Tchaikovsky starts composing (and with a few exceptions like Mahler) it’s all Russian. Listening to Night on a Bald mountain at the moment- still sounds so fresh it could have been composed yesterday. You can keep Wagner, Schubert, Weber. Not interested.

There is a lot of good Russian music.
… some of it may have even been composed in spite of liberal doses of vodka.
sunny says
you're not alone on that
I just love the sound of russian music. it feels like it has more to it than the others.
I personally don't really like bach or mozart or schumann.. i feel like a lot of their music is sort of.. one dimentional?
I do love brahms and beethoven though

I don't like something or not like it just because of who composed it. There are probably things written by all of those composeres that I don't care to listen to.
