naxos.com, Your World of Classical Music

You know that on the Naxos website you can stream their entire catalogue (well, almost, I get some errors some times). You know that, right? Tell me you know that! In any case, now you know.

On recommendation from Kyle Gann, I listened to Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111. They say classical music is dead, stale or just repertory, but tell me: if you could play this music yourself, wouldn't you just play it every single day?

The beginning of the second movement is crazy: it sounds like the mother of all tear-jerking pop ballads. Fabulous.
