NBC's Today Show has recently been featuring a segment entitled "Live for Today." In each installment of "Live for Today" someone is given the opportunity to live out a dream - to pursue an important experience that should not be missed. For instance, Matt took to the road on a Harley.
This has gotten me wondering about important musical experiences that ought not be missed. Two come to mind for me.
1. I think attending a live performance of one of the Mahler Symphonies that includes a chorus (like Nos. 2 or 8) can be a life changing experience.
2. When you have to act on a really difficult decision, try listening to Beethoven Eroica Symphony for a while to gain strength.
Would anyone else like to share their ideas of important musical experiences that are not to be missed?
