Plus, I don't know about you but I find his music endlessly re-listenable. Most music I have to set aside for a bit after I give it a listen, no matter how much I love it, but I could genuinely listen to three recordings back-to-back-to-back of any of Mahler's symphonies -- there's just so much to them! A universe of brilliant, variegated sounds, ideas, themes, and emotions.

Thoughts on Klemperer's Beethoven? I find myself more and more drawn to his conducting style as of late so considering trying out all of his recordings of the standard repertoire (Brahms, Mendelssohn, etc.).

>>123132674

When did you become a HIPster? You like your Bach single-voice and fast now too?

>>123132779
Thanks, didn't know he had more than the one with the New Philharmonia. Looking it up I see he has that one with the KRSO as well as one with the VPO, added both.
>>
>In short, this release is a confirmation of what other recordings from the pre-stereo era have suggested: a Klemperer who was more aggressively intense than the one of succeeding years, when, to my mind, he became musically confined to broadened tempos, at least in part, by a palsy-ridden body

huh, I see
>>
>>123132762
i’m against HIP as a performance practice today, but not as an inherent concept. there is no evidence whatsoever that bach would have preferred single voice parts over choral parts had he had unlimited resources; on the other hand every sign points to beethoven preferring his music played inhumanly fast; what reason do we have to ignore this?
>>
>>123132847
Fair enough.

>what reason do we have to ignore this?

Unlocking a work in ways the composer didn't realize or decided against but may still be worthwhile + catering to contemporary sensibilities, the best means of bringing the music to life
>>
>>123132779
>WAAAAAAAH HURIWTZ DOESNT LIKE WHAT I LIKE
bitching aside, how is he wrong? he's correct that the production is bad and the playing is not as technically accomplished as a studio recording with higher profile soloists and unlimited takes at their disposal. just because you prefer klemperer's tempi in it doesn't mean that hurwitz's criticism is invalid.
>>123132872
i don't consider klemperer's interpretation of beethoven to be worthwhile, and i especially don't think contemporary sensibilities are worth a shit.

I love Shostakovich 7 so much. It's been my favorite for years, and at this point I doubt anything will ever top it. It just feels so much more consistently coherent than anything else, like I can understand every creative decision he made along the way.
https://youtu.be/OFYCSrSvNKs?si=gE3Wjqw9t_Oona-2&t=3656

What are your favorite recordings of it? Many play it too fast, but most of the rest plays it far too slow to overcompensate for that.

What would Mozart think of Rachmaninoff's concertos? I think he would be in awe, maybe even jealous too, since he didn't have a modern piano which would allow him to merge piano and orchesta better, nor was he as virtuosic despite definitely trying to be, or as emotional.
He would be proud of Rach IMO. Anyway share your thoughts.

Stravinsky The Flood
The actual flood part was a little gay. For an apocalyptic world ending flood it could have sounded a little more impressive. I do think the piece captured some of that sense of Holy Dread you might say and the serpents voice was really creepy. There's parts missing though as I recall from Genesis The Flood had to with humanity mating with something called The Nephelim -which don't recieve mention. I'm also not really sure why he thought to include a so called 'comedy' of Noah's wife not wanting to go in the Ark. That was stupid

because it’s not apocalyptic. literally only the first movement has tragic undertones; the scherzo is boisterous to the point of being clumsy, the adagio is a lovesong, and the finale is a grand march. the nickname apocalyptic is extraordinarily myopic for such a large scale work.

>>123138095
you are wrong.
>Very few conductors begin the movement with the A theme as slow as half note = 69 per minute, and with those who do, the effect seems slack and nerveless. Yet Bruckner himself acknowledged that the grace-noted quarter notes were meant to evoke the sounds of a galloping horse. He had in his mind the gathering of the Dreikaiserbund, the alliance of the three emperors of Austria, Germany, and Russia, which was renewed in 1884 at Skierniewice to ensure the future peace of Europe. Bruckner envisioned the ceremonial event with equestrian pageantry, represented by the sound of galloping horses which was familiar to all his listeners in the 1880s and 1890s. Research from videos of horse races shows through the motions of the horses’ heads that the pace of the gallop is 67.9 ± 1.3 per minute, very close to Bruckner’s 69.
it’s a gallop.
>>

Gallops can be evil
>>
>>123138155

>>
>>123138169

bruckner specified in his own words that the gallop was in reference to the political meeting that zander references, so no, it’s again, not apocalyptic nor biblical.

>favourite composers are bruckner, wagner, beethoven and lehar

Is this good taste?
>>
Distinguishing between 'favorite' and 'best' for the moment, I'm pretty much now of the belief that the best recordings tend to rise to the top in terms of popularity, acclaim, and recognition. Of course this doesn't preclude bad ones from also reaching those same heights, and there are also relative peaks (ie 'only among serious fans of the work or composer'), but in general this is true. Agree or disagree?
>>
>>123140644
This applies to classical music in general as well, not just recordings.
>>
>>123140644
It's pretty rare for a genuinely bad recording to reach the top of acclaim, even ones that are less than their reputation are simply overrated and not bad per se, but there are, as you say, some cases of genuinely awful recordings reaching the heights of criticial reception.

However, it is quite common for a good or great recording to languish in obscurity. Especially a modern recording, due to oversaturation in the market. And then there are recordings for those "in the know" I.E. popular amongst specialists but virtually unknown amongst those that can considered more mainstream.

Maybe I shouldn't have said to the 'top' but rather, if a recording is truly great ('truly' meaning outside of one's peculiarities and idiosyncratic preferences), other people will take notice is all I mean. But yeah you're right, though I do think time solves most of those issues, as in lifting quality out of obscurity and tossing aside temporary fads and underserved hype to the dustbins of history.

laughable fallacy, as if pianistic skill has any relation whatsoever to compositional analysis or critique. the vast majority of performers i’ve had the displeasure of dealing with have no comprehension whatsoever of the music they’re playing, they simply do as the score and their studio teacher tells them to.

In some ways Mozart is is highly overestimated. He was a solid craftsman, deeply versed in theory, and capable of making incredibly complex stuff work. But he was mostly a "musician's musician", a solid artisan - on the "art" front, I his music was often disappointing, more so when you remove the hype factor that has accrued over the ages

What Mozart does share with Collier is a strong grasp on the technical aspects of composition; what he lacks is the ability to touch souls and blow minds.

Collier amazes on all levels - his music is catchy, then it grabs you with effortless mastery of technique, and as you keep listening, he keeps amazing you with ever-new depths

John Cage Sonata V
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRHoKZRYBlY

One of John Cage's early works (1933), this work embraces 12-tone compositional technique - sometimes loosely, sometimes strictly - to create a work that is playful and rhythmic. The score lacks any dynamic or stylistic guidance for the performer.

Although Cage disavowed many of his earliest works, when reflecting upon the Clarinet Sonata (also called "Sonata for One Voice") he referred to the piece as "Very interesting."

Rachmaninoff becomes even more exciting as you learn more about harmony and voice leading. Romanticism is truly the greatest achievement of humanity, it showed that traditional melody rules are not necessarily always the best to follow, instead chromaticism and more emotional tensions in melody (such as concerto 2, leap from C to Ab in the first melody played by the strings) bring out the most 'happiness' or emotion of some sort in humans. More modulation, ninths, elevenths, thirtheenths are also such important additions.
There is nothing remotely close to the heart, soul and emotiveness of human than Romanticism.

>Paul recounted a conversation to us that Wagner had one day in 1881 with his influential banker friend, Friedrich Feustel, who was chairman of the Bayreuth town council. A factory owner, Friedrich von Schon, was present, and he recorded with surprising objectivity their argument about factory workers’ conditions. Wagner suddenly lost his temper. 'Yes,' he shouted, 'and they stand there all day in their factories and see and hear nothing but bare walls and noise and pounding of the machines - is that an existence fit for human beings?' Feustel tried to bring up mollifying counterarguments, but Schon recalled Wagner “flared up in a fit of the most profound and painful emotion, summing all that he had to say on the subject in a single exclamation: 'Children, children, have you forgotten Jesus Christ?' He uttered those words with so indescribable an expression in his eyes and with so shatteringly powerful a sense of fellow-feeling for the darker aspects of our social lives, and with such a moving reverence for the divinity of the name that he had just spoken, that we were all moved to the depths of our being. The effect was as if the master had placed the figure of the Redeemer before our innermost eye: 'I saw him - then his gaze fell on me!' [quotation from Parsifal] Not another word was spoken. We rose and took our leave, our hearts profoundly stirred."

This Wagner sounds like a real nice guy.

There’s nothing wrong with playing it that way- sounds more like a march and it sounds more Turkish- rather than an exercise in showing off.
At any rate Glen said that he believed, at least for pieces like that sonata that all the definitive statements on it were already out in recorded form. So for a recording pianist the only possible thing left to do would be to try something new and daring.
