Water, fire, air—and what other element has the Creator, nature, or whatever higher force you believe in, blessed us with in the miraculous world we live in? That's right: money! Just kidding—it’s Friday after all. Today, on Spin On Classical Music, we’re talking about the final element: Earth. The dust, the ashes. We’ll explore how this element has earned its place in the eternal cycle of life and made its mark on classical music. From Gustav Mahler’s "Lied von der Erde" to Joseph Haydn’s "Creation" and Igor Stravinsky’s "Rite of Spring", the earth often takes on a dark, brutal, and powerful presence in music, as Pia points out. In his usual style, Henry steps in with hard facts, bringing a dose of realism to what had been a spiritual and contemplative discussion, grounding everyone by quantifying and rationalizing everything that had been said. Surprisingly, just before everything becomes too rational, Henry spices up the conversation with some mind-blowing 'facts' about Salzburg’s local mountain, the Untersberg. In this spirit: Tune in to this week’s episode of Spin On Classical Music, and be sure to add us to your Spotify library!
