[AccessD] Q&Q

Well I remember when I was just a kid my English teacher telling the class that there was just no way those Beatles chappies were ever going to last. 40 years later they are still highly popular, and not just with baby boomers. So who knows what we will be writing term papers about in another forty years.

I think that I'm going back to Ludy's Piano Sonatas this afternoon. Sure beats TV! Three major hits. Well actually I got sidetracked momentarily by Opera. I'm at this moment listening to Luciano Pavarotti and I understand that young girls your age don't get it, and that's ok, I get it, and it's lonely out here but I can deal with it. Despite popular tastes, opera and string quartets live! Beyond their 200-year time-spans. Yes I love various groups such as Stones and Talking Heads and Clash, but taking the Long Picture, how many of their tunes are going to be played in 100 years?
That's the basic definition of classic music, like it or not.

One cannot predict the future, one can only guess. That admitted, here are some of my guesses, of music that will be played in 2013.

1. M2O: Miss America. That record will live on and on and on and on.
2. The Beatles: The White Album. That's the best record they ever did.
3. Miles Davis: Kind of Blue. With his transcription of "Concierto de Aranjuez" he got all the love and sorrow all perfectly right.
4. Uakti: Mapa and several subsequent CDs. This trio from Brazil is probably my favourite world-music group.
5, Swapan Chauduri, IMO the best tabla player that I have ever heard. In the company of G.S. Sachdev, this is music to die for.
