If you knew the world was ending this afternoon, what 5 CDs would you put in your carousel player?
And we’ll assume that you have a 5-CD carousel player.
We’ll also assume that some cosmic force (perhaps a comet or astroid) will strike the Earth today, November 5, 2008 at 6:34pm/et.
What 5 CDs would you put on for the rest of the day?
I would play:
Bach, Mass in B Minor
Beethoven Piano Concerto # 5
Bach Organ music (I have a bunch of Bach organ CDs, I’d go with one that has Tacotta and Fugue)
Beethoven, Missa Solenmnis
Mozart Great Mass
What would you play as you await the end of human civilization?
That would only be about 12 hours for you; do you think you would really have enough time to listen to all those choices? I kind of doubt it.
I live in the PTZ, which would leave me about 8 hours I think. And I could probably cram in the following two, both by Richard Wagner:
« Tristan und Isolde » and « Die Gotterdammerung ».
Nothing could be more appropriate than to end one’s life with « The Twilight of the Gods »:
