Might give the Enigma Variations a listen after this Mendelssohn symphony ends.
>>
>>121719676
You know he wrote a whole bunch of other stuff, right?
>>
>>121719704
It takes melodic and rhythmic inspiration from Scottish folk dance, particularly in the second movement. Also, Mendelssohn's love of Scottish landscapes gave rise to the opening theme.
>>
>>121719849
lol yes. I love his violin and cello concertos, and really like his chamber music and symphonies 1 and 2. And yet I haven't listened to the Enigma Variations before!

Where are you getting your recs from?

>>121720015
Based on your posting style, I think you :)

If I'm wrong, then another anon here put me onto Previn's Elgar.
>>
>>121720028
No, I never get into the weeds with recordings unless I especially like the piece. I would have no idea what to recommend.
>>
>>121720060
Oh. Yeah I discussed Elgar with another anon here a couple weeks back or so and he recommended me Previn for the symphonies and Enigma Variations. Otherwise I check Amazon reviews and compare it to conductors I'm somewhat familiar with, or ask on here if I'm really unsure.

David Axelrod - Songs of Experience is one of my favourite records of all time. It's not classical but instrumental. I got a similar vibe from Elgar because the music felt very propulsive at time and then moody at others.

Why? You think that makes it sound more legitimate?
>>
>>121721226
What I would do is if you come across a composer you think you recognize in the bargain bin, just ctrl+f on that page and see if it pops up. That's pretty much the tactic I use whenever I'm not sure what to listen to, and feel like further exploring a specific composer.

>>121721013
I only listen to classical these days but I'm unfamiliar with that album. But yeah, the great classical pieces are rarely one shade of emotion, but rather generally a longer, shifting dramatic narrative of triumph, loss, exasperation, love, sadness, joy, God, divine goodness or the lack thereof, and so on.

Call me a pleb but K.361 was boring.
>>
>>121721327
It's going to be a good resource for sure. I have been digging in bins for music all my life. Half the fun is taking chances on stuff.
Today I grabbed Beethoven Piano Concerto 5 and 2 on London. Based on liking the cover and knowing Beethoven's name and London/Decca being a real label.
Also grabbed a Claudio Arrau cd on Philips because I read that one of his recordings was the first consumer musical cd ever produced. He must be hot shit to get that honor.
Passed on a Bruckner symphony and when I check that site its one of his least popular. It was most likely mid af and Im glad I didnt give money for it.

>>121721449
Not much discussion as we were at the end, sar
>>
>>121721596

>>
>>121721539
Well, keep in mind that any work on that site's list is considered great. However, yes, the closer to get to the bottom, the higher likelihood that it is that it will be 'mid.' Still, for $1, if it appears on their lists I'd just pick it up. Definitely check out Bruckner at some point, preferably the Jochum recordings.

And hell yeah on those other pickups. Who's the performer(s) for the Beethoven? And Arrau is pretty good no doubt.
>>
>>121721463
Not familiar with it but there are a lot of boring Mozart pieces, so I won't call you a pleb.
>>
>>121721617
Then why are you generating discussion about it?
>>
>>121721641
It's the Serenade no. 10, I think it's considered one of his great works. I agree with you, when I like Mozart I really like him but so much of his music is, for me, in that category of 'excellent craft, boring listen,' hence the bracing for the pleb accusations.

Beethoven - Vladimir Ashkenazy.

I will keep checking back every couple of weeks. As for Bruckner it might have been left behind because it wasn't a name I knew like the others. I was trying to stick to stuff in good shape and didn't look like a cd you'd find on sale at the gas station.

So I know I've been fanboying over Kovacevich for a few days about his Beethoven and Brahms, however, his Schubert D. 960 is without a doubt the best I have ever heard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAZ8PA5_gVA (should be from the same recording I'm listening to)

>>121721951
Ashkenazy playing the piano and Solti conducting the orchestra! Pretty sure I've heard that recording, you're in for a treat! The no. 2 is pretty good, and the 5, 'Emperor,' is one of the great piano concerto masterpieces.

Will you not relent, will you,
with an excess of virtue,
live without love’s rapture,
or do you wish me to come to you?

To live without love’s rapture,
is a bitter fate I would not suffer.
Come, then, with your dark eyes,
come, when the stars beckon!"

How do I into atonal modern era shit? I tried listening to Schoenberg and it just sounded like a bunch of jumbled notes to me. And if I go even more modern, it just gets even worse with stuff like "new complexity".
>Though often atonal, highly abstract, and dissonant in sound, New Complexity music is most readily characterized by the use of techniques which require complex musical notation.
How is this anything more than experimental intellectual masturbation?

>>121728348
Ah, well I suppose that's what their job is. I've always wondered about that though, since I never studied music so I can't check for myself, about how much liberty conductors and musicians take with a classical piece as well as just how much specific instructions or direction did the composer include, and how exactly all that works, because from my uninformed perspective, one would think 'oh there is an ideal, follow-the-instructions way of performing just about any piece' but, of course, listening experience tells us that is simply not the case. And I'm of the mind that following the composer's written intentions is the way music should be approached, so when there are so many different, varied interpretations, then something must be going on lol.

What is beautiful about Barenboim is how gracefully he conducts Wagner. If I was in his place, I would deliberately sabotage or refuse to conduct Wagnerian works. One of the most underrated conductors.

I'm just gonna say it. I envy the Jews. I envy them and their artistic mastery of music and grasp of beauty. I envy their intelligence which far exceeds mine. I envy their dedication towards the art. Their emphasis on notes, casting. All my insults were ignorant as they are created out of envy and jealousy.

Jews are the chosen race. We should all plan our extinction and leave everything in their hands from here on out.

Regardless of your opinion of Schönberg, are you aware that this quote is simply stupid and incoherent?
If art comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable, then in the end the disturbed are comfortable and the comfortable are disturbed, and the same art can no longer be profitable and enjoyable. If we follow the logical conclusions of this sentence, any work of art ends up being "bad art". You may say that this is true and normal, but you must be aware that the implications of your pretty pseudo-intelligent quote are the rejection of whole swathes of mankind's artistic production.

One of the starkest differences is, opposite of the obvious contrast in the measure of the highest heights of Bach's cantatas, is also the disparity between the quality of the floor too -- as in, when I was going through Suzuki's collection of the cantatas, many were nice and great but there were definitely a lot that were unenjoyable and dull. With Richter, even the 'worse' cantatas still sound plenty entertaining. That divine, Godly, awe-inspiring sound appeals to something deep and fundamental in us and quenches our thirst from the well of infinite delight.

Bruckner's Masses, particularly no. 3 and 2, and Te Deum are great too if you're into choral music. Also his string quintet. But yeah the symphonies are a must-buy. Not for everyone, but worth trying out and if you're into it, you'll love them.

Speaking of choral music, itching to listen to Britten's again! Both the choral music collection and the Ceremony of Carols set.

I might go back and get Elgar because that music was something special and probably my favourite so far.
I think I might hold out for Bruckner's no 8 on its own. I'm not sure if I'm into choral or not yet. Jochum was a name that came up to look for. Maybe one of those will turn up and I'll see if I want the rest of the set.

How do you read this? Why is every note dotted? And why do the little bars extend down three levels as if the note values get smaller? What does this actually sound like, is it just a normal scale or is there actually some kind of rhythm to it? I just can't tell.

This is from the flesch scale system.

sitting on an upper level allows you to see the different instrument groups playing. sitting just in front of the orchestra is a bad idea, you will hear whatever instrument you have in front of you in that case.
my own preference are the cheapest seats, I'm there to listen to music, not to watch the conductor moving his arms.

i dont consider myself a classical fanatic or anything but i think schoenberg's piano suite is neat. it strips away any sense of typical consonance, and yet you can still hear all the cool dynamics, tempo shifts, and phrasings. its only flaw to me is that its just one instrument, but schoenberg probably has other stuff similar to this that isnt for solo instruments, right?
