Recent news that there exists an unreleased Beatles track called "Carnival of Light" has understandably excited the Classic Rock fans. Only a Jimi Hendrix cut would effect a more rapid pant-soiling amongst Classic Rock fans.
What would get the Classical music aficionados as excited? Something by Beethoven or Mozart, most likely. Well, which of the four great music makers would you want to hear more of?
I can hear some of you now, "Dude! You don't mix these things up: Divide the genres(!), for Heaven's sake."
Yes, you'd like that, wouldn't you? You'd even expect it from some ordinary, pajama'd blogspot-jockey. But not here! No, Asymmetric is bold. To Heck with convention! To Heck with the more conventional "Hell." So, the question today is:
What would you rather unearth:
1. An entire, never before heard, Beatles album (without Yoko!).
2. Beethoven's Tenth Symphony (Op. 136).
Part 2:
Ode to Freedom: Bernstein Conducts Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Berlin
3. Mozart's lost opera.
Mozart: Die Entführung aus dem Serail
4. A never-heard Jimi Hendrix' 12 minute, guitar solo- with the Experience, of course; performed just barely drunk.

Man! That Bob Dylan sure knows how to ruin a song. And what's with the conducting thing? And, thanks for apologizing to the Germans for us, Barack. I was trying to find a way to make it up to them.
