Default Your Desert Island composer.

Your stuck on the island on you own, with a solar powered hi fi in the straw hut and the complete works of just the one composer. It's going to be a bit depressing so Shosty, Wagner and Beethoven might be a bit too much, and pure opera composers like Puccini ( in the main) and others might get a bit samey. The complete song cycle of Schubert might appeal, but you might not feel like songs after a while. Bach might get a bit samey too.All that precision might pall, but then you have the vocal work also, heavily choral though it is in it's nature. So for me it would have to be Mozart. He kinda did it all.

I’d say Mozart too. On the other hand, I could take Wagner: it would save me by motivating me to tear down the hut and fashion it into a raft to escape the music.

Bach. I could listen to variations of the Brandenburg Concertos over and over again.

Chaps, your going to be there for months before the rescue comes, and the sea is infested with hyper intelligent and hungry sharks. Many moods will strike you, and long term variety is the name of the game. You just have your Mackie and one composer.No other sounds will emerge, and you don't have company, just plenty of fruit and vegetables and the odd chicken and fish. It's CD only.
