The rules: Take out your iPod or other musical device. Put it in "random" mode. Hit "play." Write down the first ten tracks that come up--and no fair putting in ones you think will make you look cool, or omitting ones that make you look like a total dork.
Yeah, I'm bending the rules on this one: I don't own an iPod, and prefer to listen to entire discs of music - although I will use shuffle mode on rock, sometimes... it doesn't work so great on classical, and is really pointless when the CD you're listening to only has four tracks:
Claude Debussy - La Chute de la Maison Usher, drame lyrique d'apres Edgar Allen Poe; revision et orchestration de Juan Allende Blin d'apres le manuscrit autographe
1. Prelude - Scene 1
2. Scene 2
Andre Caplet - Le Masque de la mort rouge, Conte fantastique d'apres Edgar Allen Poe, pour harpe et orchestre a cordes
3. Modere - Anime - Largement
Florent Schmitt - Etude pour "Le Palais Hante" d'apres Edgar Allen Poe
4. Lent - Assez anime - Presque lent - Anime
1-2: Christine Barbaux, soprano (Lady Madeline)
1-2: Francois Le Roux, baryton (Le Medecin)
1-2: Pierre-Yves Le Maigat, baryton-basse (L'Ami)
1-2: Jean-Phillippe Lafont, barython (Roderick)
3: Frederique Cambreling, harpe
Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo
direction Georges Pretre
(yes, I used the French text without the appropriate pronounciation marks because I'm too lazy to figure out how to reproduce them here... =)
