The washiness and whimsicality of our present musical style has been, if not exactly brought about, yet pushed to its utmost pitch by Mendelssohn's endeavour to speak out a vague, an almost nugatory Content as interestingly and spiritedly as possible. Whereas Beethoven, the last in the chain of our true music-heroes, strove with highest longing, and wonder-working faculty, for the clearest, certainest Expression of an unsayable Content through a sharp-cut, plastic shaping of his tone-pictures: Mendelssohn, on the contrary, reduces these achievements to vague, fantastic shadow-forms, midst whose indefinite shimmer our freakish fancy is indeed aroused, but our inner, purely-human yearning for distinct artistic sight is hardly touched with even the merest hope of a fulfilment. Only where an oppressive feeling of this incapacity seems to master the composer's mood, and drive him to express a soft and mournful resignation, has Mendelssohn the power to shew himself characteristic—characteristic in the subjective sense of a gentle individuality that confesses an impossibility in view of its own powerlessness. This, as we have said, is the tragic trait in Mendelssohn's life-history; and if in the domain of Art we are to give our sympathy to the sheer personality, we can scarcely deny a large measure thereof to Mendelssohn, even though the force of that sympathy be weakened by the reflection that the Tragic, in Mendelssohn's situation, hung rather over him than came to actual, sore and cleansing consciousness.

Baudelaire:
>I found in those of his works which are translated, particularly in Tannhäuser, Lohengrin and the Flying Dutchman, an excellent method of construction, a spirit of order and division which recalls the architecture of ancient tragedies.

Whitman:
>I am again consumed with regret for knowing I have never had a chance to hear the wonderful operas. I say 'wonderful' because I feel that they are constructed on my lines—attach themselves to the same theories of art that have been responsible for Leaves of Grass.

Villiers de l'Isle-Adam:
>He is the very man of whom we have dreamed; he is a genius such as appears upon the earth once every thousand years.

Mallarme:
>Oh strange defiance hurled at poets by him who has usurped their duty with the most open and splendid audacity: Richard Wagner!

Strauss:
>Tristan does not, as you believe, represent the "dazzling resurrection" of romanticism, but the end of all romanticism, as it brings into focus the longing of the entire 19th century, longing which is finally released in the Tag- und Nachtsgeprach and in Isolde's Liebestod. . . Tristan is the ultimate conclusion of Schiller and Goethe and the highest fulfilment of a development of the theatre stretching over 2,000 years.

Hauptmann
>[The Ring is] perhaps the most mystifying work of art of the last few thousand years

Joyce:
>There are indeed hardly more than a dozen original themes in world LITERATURE ... Tristan und Isolde is an example of an original theme.

Lévi-Strauss:
>the undeniable father of the structural analysis of myth

Junger:
>Thoughts about the mighty mind of the dramatist who breathes artificial breath into past ages and dead cultures so that they move like corpses we can quote. A sorcerer of the highest order who conjures with real blood at the gates of the underworld.

NTA but Kertesz has always been my go-to and his is excellent. However, since I always love to try a variety of recordings, I just went on a spree stacking onto my backlog by adding ones by Sawallisch, Ancerl, Wit (listening to this one right now), Herreweghe, Jansons, and Jaarvi, pretty much whichever conductors I saw and generally like. So guess I'll let you know in two weeks which is my favorite lol, but again, the Kertesz is magnificent and you'd be perfectly fine if you only listened to his.

Thank you, the Kertesz seems promising since I like his Dvorak anyway.

>>123165296
>herreweghe

>>
>>123165313
Hope you enjoy! Don't forget to try out his Mass in D (>>123165090 which contains both), as well as the Stabat Mater, for which I recommend Shaw for a gentler, angelic, choral-focused approach (aka your usual Shaw) as well as Kubelik on the other end of the spectrum with a far more heavily romantic, full-bodied orchestral sound full of passion.

>>123165331
I don't ever love his recordings but there's no denying that, for what he does, he does a good job, so might as well give it a try, as despite never being among my favorites I usually at least enjoy them for at least the one listen, and if the HIP itch ever strikes, for a lot of works they'd be at the top of list of what I'd choose to play. Basically, to satisfy a decent spectrum of interpretations, I'm glad the HIP recording is by him.

>>123165331
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the closer to present day you get with the composition date of a work, the less dramatic difference a HIP approach even makes for obvious reasons, no? So I feel like with music made from just before the turn of the 20th century, on those recordings recording you get less Herreweghe the HIPster and more just Herreweghe the talented choral conductor -- of course, many hallmarks of his style remains.
>>
>>123165472

false, because HIPsters literally operate on the assumption that string vibrato was invented in the 20th century, so they perform literally everything and anything you can think of without vibrato. it’s fucking horrid.

I already know you're gonna say it's shit, but this one? Again, not my desert island favorite, but great enough to where it's one of the handful of recordings I deliberately choose from when I wanna listen to Faure's Requiem. Besides, you've listened to a bajillion recordings of Missa Solemnis, including many HIP ones, so why not just give Herreweghe, among some of the others I listed, a try if you're loving Dvorak's Requiem a ton.
>>
>>123165887
i don’t really like faure’s requiem that much to begin with. the dvorak surprised me because it’s a truly effective and compelling setting of a sacred text that i normally don’t like very much. i don’t particularly love the verdi requiem and large chunks of the mozart requiem either.

Going through Kitajenko's Shostakovich symphonic cycle. Like I said the other day, I've been interested in non-Russian approaches to the standard repertoire of great Russian symphonies, and despite actually being Russian, Kitajenko is well-known for conducting and interpreting through a German classical lens. I didn't think it worked that well for his Prokofiev cycle, I was not a fan of that, but giving him another try because I've heard high praise for his Shostakovich and so far so good.

Try this Bernstein one, very exciting. Classic Bernstein flair and excess, especially in the fourth movement of Harold en Italie which teeters right on the edge of going off the rails entirely (or if you don't like Bernstein then maybe it does), but on the whole I find it a great and fun listen. Otherwise you can't ever go wrong with Munch's Berlioz, Op. 16 included:

>The only Mahler Symphony I have a problem with is the 6th, the "Tragic". I think that's because it does have a depressing or tragic feeling to it that I, being bipolar, just don't need!

In this house Mahler probably gets the old platter spinning more than any other composer.

>>
>>123169853
>and I don't think they're even historically accurate.
depends on what you mean, they absolutely used smaller orchestras back then most of the time. as for whether or not the composers wanted a larger orchestra is another story.

i don't think the Hännsler recordings are trying to be HIP, if they were they would have used period instruments - they don't. they probably used a smaller orchestra because the audience for CPE is pretty small and most major orchestras wouldn't bother. it's down to budget mostly i imagine

>Commentators have tried to oppose Klemperer and Walter, based on Klemperer's famous comment that Walter was a moralist and he an immoralist

What did he mean by this? I'm always scintillated and intrigued by such philosophical and metaphysical judgments and categorizations blended into musical practice, in no small part due to it being the kind of lens I'm used to in writings examining literature.

I feel like I'm right on the verge of finally clicking with Sibelius' symphonies.
>>
>>123170085
Not him but since I'm a Scherchen simp I'll give you an answer. Scherchen is a good (if uneven) conductor but basically all of his Mahler is not great. They all suffer from poor sound, even poorer playing, and sometimes outright hostility from the orchestra. He had infamously horrible reherasal time with the Wiener Symphoniker and they were in terrible shape after the war ended. Karajan hogged most of their rehearsals BTW. Anyways, he has some interesting ideas about Mahler but it's a horrible performance. His best Mahler is probably his performance of the 1st with the Royal Philharmonic which has pretty decent playing for the time.
>>
>>123170157
Ah that makes perfect sense, thank you. Is that limited purely to formal concerns, or content and meaning as well, as in trying to imbue and impart some kind of moral message or ideas as opposed to purely aesthetic approach? Or is that a silly question to ask for music and doesn't really apply in the same way it does in literature when someone derisively refers to a writer as a 'moralist' or 'sentimentalist?'
>>
>>123170162
I recommend going through his symphonies in this order:

7, 6, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1
>>
>>123169896
I guess that is a big issue too, but I don't even get why he is so underappreciated. I think his style of composition is really cool and he has enough of a influence on composers like Haydn to warrant at least one grand-scale performance.

If this disrespect continues, ill become a conductor myself to fix this injustice
>>
>>123170198
I see, thanks for the knowledge, guess I'll just stick to his recordings of earlier music. He and Karajan were the principal conductors at the same time or something?
>>
>>123170217
Symphonies have one order: Chronological

Unless you gotta start at the first symphony the composer did right (Tchaikovsky Symphony 4), its best to just start from the first and see the artistic development. It's like listening to Beethoven's 9th as your first work by him.
>>
>>123170253
Karajan, Scherchen, and one other conductor (i forget) were the main ones drilling them into shape after the war. Karajan was going all over the place though at that time, he had a very busy career before he settled with Berlin.
>>
>>123170217
Funny because I often listen to new cycles from start/first to end/last, lol. I'll give that a try. Plus I think the other issue is, and I hate to say this because I like a lot of his recordings, I just did not care for Blomstedt's Sibelius cycle -- I'm glad I decided to add a bunch of other sets to continue giving it a try.

>>123170274
Hmm, I think both sides have valid reasoning. On one hand, yes, with the chronological approach you get to listen firsthand to the artistic development of the composer, however on the other, the argument is you want to start with the one that best gets you hooked and thus motivated and excited to try the rest.

Much like his String Quartet no. 15, this is pretty much 'ambient classical.' I'm honestly a little jealous of people who find this kind of slow-moving, sparse, and atmospheric texture music to be deeply moving, because it ain't for me. The Piano Sonata no. 2 is excellent though.

I agree from an thread organizational perspective that orchestral video game and movie music probably don't belong in /classical/ as a thread but in classical as a genre I think they do

this is obviously not the primary method of distribution for max martin’s songs, you retard. there are lots of recordings of composers performing their own music too, but they’re still classical because sheet music is still their primary method of distribution.

>>123177354
So youre saying that a modern composer's primary method of distribution is sheet music? Interesting take.
>>
>>123177393
yes, you fucking idiot. have you interacted with modern composers at all? the vast majority of their interactions are with performers because that’s who pays them, either through commissions or purchasing sheet music, and the only people interested in modern composition anyways are said performers and other composers doing the exact same thing. go to a new music concert sometime and you’ll see this play out in real life.

>>
>>123177512
no, because performers obviously only buy a score of given piece once while spotify counts every single play of the same recording regardless of how many times the same person has listened to the same track. i’ll bet good money that there are a lot more than 100k performances of babbitt’s music, both public and private.

>No one has heard EVERY recording of Bruckner's 5th - there are hundreds of performances of this symphony listed on John Berky's website - so to be safe, claims that a recording is "the best" ought to be avoided.

>...

>To hell with that! This is the best Bruckner 5th I've ever heard! Of the 50+ recordings I own, not one has ever bettered this live 1991 performance. What an unexpected thrill - Barenboim's other Bruckner recordings don't hint at the majesty herein. He outperforms many of my favorite conductors (including Furtwängler, Jochum, Abendroth, Kempe, Knappertsbusch, Horenstein, Schuricht, Matacic, Rosbaud, Konwitschny, Wand) as well as other conductors who had received positive reviews (Karajan, Harnoncourt, Haitink, Eichhorn, Pflüger, Klemperer, Tintner, Asahina, Chailly, Welser-Möst, etc). This is by far my favorite Barenboim performance of anything, and one of my favorite recordings PERIOD.

>Jean Sibelius, upon first hearing Bruckner's 5th, said "Yesterday I heard Bruckner's 5th Symphony and it moved me to tears. For a long time afterward I was completely transported. What a strange and profound spirit, formed by a religious sense... as something no longer in harmony with our time." Furtwängler proclaimed the Finale of the 5th to be the most thrilling piece of symphonic music ever written. I'll up the ante: this is the greatest symphony written since Beethoven's 9th.

>If you're not convinced of this work's status as a masterpiece, please hear this recording. If you ARE convinced, please hear this recording. If you enjoy music-making at the very highest level, I implore you: please hear this recording!

Forgot to add: And Milton Babbitt is a deeply unpopular composer I can guarantee you a at least 100 times more people have heard more popular composers in recording than in a live performance.
>>
>>123177810
i don’t think you realize how many times a performer has to hear (ie. play) the same piece over and over again before they’re ready to perform it in front of an audience, especially with music as nauseatingly difficult as babbitt’s. a simple mozart sonata is probably practiced hundreds of times by a pianist before they would be comfortable with performing it; imagine how many thousands of times a single performer would have to rehearse babbitt’s partitions before it would be at a performable standard. and this is just for solo pieces; ensemble works have to be rehearsed both by individual members of the group and as a full ensemble. your average string quartet has all 4 members learning the parts individually and then playing it together, effectively multiplying the number of rehearsal hours by 5. orchestral works take that even further and divide the players by sections, so the order of rehearsal goes individual > section > full ensemble. an orchestral work easily has hundreds of man hours per minute put into rehearsing it.
this whole “which one is heard more” argument is fallacious anyways because “number of plays” has never been the metric by which primary distribution is determined. milton babbitt does not write his music to be heard by the end consumer (seriously, what did you expect from mr. “who cares if you listen”?), he writes it first and foremost for performers who perform it for the end listener. this is how classical music has always worked; even when composers were commissioned by royalty, they worked with performers when writing their works, not the commissioners, because the commissioners aren’t the ones who have to put up with unidiomatic writing.

there are pretty objective rules with regards to silhouette and fit as far as western dress goes, and when you take into account western tradition regarding formality and occasion (which is all the more relevant in the performance practice of an art form entirely built on the back of tradition), there is really no room for debate.

She gets abducted by a water goblin who collects souls in a teacup and he brings her back to his underwater kingdom of enslaved souls to be his bride. She gets married to him with crayfish as the bridesmaids as grooms and such. She gives birth to his baby but he becomes enraged when she sings the baby a lullaby. She tries to calm him down and be allowed to visit her mother. The goblin agrees but she has to leave her baby as a hostage, be back by the evening bells and not touch anyone. She goes to her mother but doesn't come back by the bells and her mother keeps telling the goblin to fuck off. The goblin becomes enraged and in the morning she finds the decapitated corpse of her baby on the doorstep, along with its head.

Were the brandenburg concertos the first real symphonies?

Also on the topic, is there any recording that doesnt have a harpsichord and uses a actual symphony orchestra?

Its a decent question. They have instrumentation more on par with classical symphonies. Not to mention the fact that theyre not nearly as soloist centric as other concertos by Bach

>>123185953
by this retard logic, overtures and incidental music must be symphonies too since their instrumentation is usually no different. how idiotic.

Mate there are 30+ pictures of albums, and 48 youtube link. Besides, there's FAQ and you can always ask for recs. Are you interested in concertos, solo piano works, symphonies, chamber music or...?

>The opera sinfonia, or Italian overture had, by the 18th century, a standard structure of three contrasting movements: fast, slow, fast and dance-like. It is this form that is often considered as the direct forerunner of the orchestral symphony. The terms "overture", "symphony" and "sinfonia" were widely regarded as interchangeable for much of the 18th century.
>>
>>123186040
If you're trying to get into classical: start with the baroque period. Concertos are generally easy to get into, any one of Bach's concertos are good to start with.
>>
>>123185591
>>123185637
It sounds so much better without a harpsichord. Did Bach really intend for one or is it a HIPster lie like most modern performance things?

symphonies, intense ones like vivaldi's four seasons. I like a lot of vivaldi come to think of it.
>>
>>123186377
>>123186294
Bach did not even specify continuo on the score of the Brandenburg concerto. Its legit just a bunch of HIPsters pretending that Bach implied it and forced it upon every modern recording

Traditional recordings ironically follow the score better than the "historically informed" crowd.
>>
>>123185637
Is there any stereo recording?
>>
>>123185637
do hisstards really
>>123186210
sinfonia and overture have always been interchangeable, but the symphony has always been distinct from either of the two. no one refers to mozart's jupiter as an overture, for fuck's sake. also, missing the point regarding instrumentation not being the end all be all regarding classical genre classification.

Oh. The musical offering one is nice but I find Furtwangler to be too slow in Bach
>>
>>123186449
Not missing the point at all. The symphony literally derives from the Italian Overture, and you act as though comparing the two is "idiotic". THAT is idiotic. There's a word for people like you: posers.
>>
>>123186516
>you proved me right about shiteater because i say so!
ok lol, dont care
>>123186580
derived != equivalent to. the fugue was developed from renaissance polyphony too, but no one has any delusions of them being equitable.
and you're still missing the point
>>
>>123186590
The only difference between an Italian Overture and a Symphony is a Menuet.

And Renaissance polyphony is not a form, it's a style.
>>
>>123186640
so there is a difference then. thanks for proving me right.
>And Renaissance polyphony is not a form, it's a style.
forms didn't exist in the renaissance aside from mass or motet, but all imitative counterpoint is obviously derived from the renaissance style, including and especially fugues and canons. don't be disingenuous.
>>
>>123186449
>no one refers to mozart's jupiter as an overture, for fuck's sake

People literally have refered to Symphony no. 32 as an Overture however. So what is it? A symphony or an overture? because according to you it can't possibly be both.

Returned to this after some time and many, many other recordings and deep familiarity with the work later, and... it's actually rather mediocre. Sad. Still on the quest to the find the perfect or ideal 9th.

Just off the top of my head, I'll still defend his Brahms BPO box set, but as far as M*hler goes, yeah I have no desire to revisit any recordings from those cycles ever again. Occasionally one or two from the Chicago one though, maybe I should listen to the 9th from that.

>>123187640
Most recordings of the Brandenburg Concertos to me sound too foreign, too dressed up in antiquated sounds and ornaments as to come across more like a historical artifact than actual enjoyable music. That Furtwangler recording, however, resonates and appeals to the senses in a seamless, artistically relevant way to me. Bach as music.

The problem with Karl Richter is that he's really too rhythmically slack and metronomic in tempo. I know there are people that prefer Bach that way, but it's just not for me.
