Martinu/Ballet editionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny8cvV9ve4c"In 1927 Martinu wrote no fewer than three ballets, an opera, several piano pieces and some chamber music. The last of the three ballets was La Revue de Cuisine (‘The Kitchen Review’). This was written for a Czech dance company who produced it with great success in Prague in November that year under the title Pokušení svatouška hrnce (‘The Temptation of the Saintly Pot’). The plot concerns the activities of various kitchen utensils. The marriage between pot and lid is threatened by the machinations of the stick who attempts to lure the lid with the dishcloth. The broom tries to restrain the cloth, but the lid rolls away. All is finally and happily resolved when a huge foot kicks the lid back on stage to be reunited with the long-suffering pot."What's your favorite ballet accompaniment?Also why can't I find a performance of this ballet anywhere? Is it some sort of crime to repeat perform obscure ballet performance? >How do I get into classical?This link has resources including audio courses, textbooks and selections of recordings to help you start to understand and appreciate classical music: https://pastebin.com/NBEp2VFhprevious thread >>123164250

I've tried so many times to listen to Bach's cello suite and I always give up 5 minutes in. Cello has such a grating sound alone. Is there like a reinterpretation of it on some other instrument or something?
Damn, Markevitch has a powerful Brahms 1start of Brahms - Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 68:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNtrSQ52Dzo&list=OLAK5uy_lVQU_jJu8YCxyj2XKNjz0dv56rxuYgO0E&index=10https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lVQU_jJu8YCxyj2XKNjz0dv56rxuYgO0E
>>123189702Primrose has an arrangement of it for violahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAsTG1_LFXIUp to you as to whether or not that's an improvement lol>>123189716Listen to his Brahms 4 too, it's very blast-y
>>123189744Will do, the 4th comes on the same recording as well as Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique so will definitely give them a listen with the quality of this Brahms 1. Also not that other anon, but added that Primrose recording, sounds like an interesting idea! I love the Cello and of course the Cello Suites, but Bach sounds divine in all instruments so a viola version of the suites is a neat idea.
Why isn't Martinu /classical/'s idol? He was autistic as fuck and literally me,
>>123189873Others here might feel differently but I don't really care about the character and personal lives and thoughts of composers and musicians in the same way I do about writers, only the music/output matters to me.

>>123193151Amazing Grace by John Newton?
>>123192928Probably the best Brahms Klemperer did was his recording of the 4th and his German Requiem. Well, the German Requiem is very well conducted but unfortunately DFD and Schwarzkopf are being their usual unidiomatic selves, even if they sing very well. There's a live variant from 1955 with Grummer and Prey who are much better.
>>123193804klemperer’s 4th is really not bad, i’m not sure why people shit on it so much.
>>123193930Does it get shit? Weird. It's by far his best performance from his symphony cycle.

>>123189702I don't think cello sounds bad on its own. But bachs cello suites are not easy to understand. They take quite a few listenings before they click.
Reminder that Bach did not specify a harpsichord or even continuo in any of his Brandenburgs besides 5. Therefore any HIPster that includes one is not following the score and adding things on a whim, not very historically accurate if you ask me!
>>123195348I want to hear a completely romantic Brandenburg. Symphony orchestra, no period instruments and no harpsichord.
>>123195348Bach didn't specify on the score not to use a Yamaha DX-7 either
>>123195348reminder Anons on 4chan who avatarfag as Animeposter #X never know what they're talking about

>>123196781same way karajan’s schumann and mozart is the most repulsive shit ever even though he’s just as austrogermanic as they are.
>>123195348Bach didn't specify a lot of things. Including tempo for many pieces. Like most things they're just going off of established performance practices for the day
>>123197943If a piece doesnt have tempo specified, you go and play it at the way you think works best musically.Adding an instrument that isnt even specified as "continuo" is like adding a drumset to a Mozart piano concerto and playing blast beats over it because mozart implied it
>>123196967all me btw
>>123198008>Adding an instrument that isnt even specified as "continuo" is like adding a drumset to a Mozart piano concerto and playing blast beats over it because mozart implied itNot really comparable, since you're adding in parts that weren't historically accurate for the day. They're obviously not idiomatic to the medium. I don't really like harpsichord continuo either, but it's a point of fact that if performers only followed exactly what Bach wrote, then you would be left with a pretty boring performance. Bach isn't a romantic-era composer that notated every single thing down, nearly every single recording of Bach *ever* makes a multitude of assumptions about how he wanted things played. That's part and parcel of baroque interpretation, since musicians were afforded much more freedom in those days and even into the classical era, until composers began to become more dictatorial in how they wanted their compositions performed.
>>123198408>but it's a point of fact that if performers only followed exactly what Bach wrote, then you would be left with a pretty boring performanceNo? Its way nicer if you do it without any of the bullshit additions added by HIPsters. Tge furtwrangler recording is cliser to the score and better than any with a harpsixhord

I reconnected with a friend from High School who was really into classical and played the piano, and we got to talking about music and I told him I was really feeling Brahms and he said he hadn't heard any! So I suggested he listen to Brahms 4 ("Symphony no. 4?" he replied) -- and a couple days later I asked him how it was and he said it was okay, he wasn't quite feeling it yet, and I told him 'Well, try the Kleiber recording next time' and after he did he said 'wow, that's incredible, the one I listened to sounded nothing like that.' Point of all this is, I shudder to think what recording he did listen to!
>>123200043>I shudder to think what recording he did listen toYeh, fucking intense dude!
>>123200065Music and art are serious business!
>>123200043now introduce him to an actual good recording like markevitch or van beinum
>>123200172Well now you're just being a contrarian. Besides, he said his three favorite composers were Ravel, Chopin, and Rach, so he's probably beyond saving with your suggestions.
let's get glacialalso didn't know Klemperer had his own compositions
>>123200184kleiber's brahms 4 isn't bad, but it's really not that amazing. i guess it has more personality than his forgettable beethoven 5 and 7, but that's not saying much. >>123200219klemperer wrote a ton of music no one ever records because it's dismal. also that mahler 7 is one of the worst mahler recordings ever made, may the lord have mercy on your soul.

>>123200359wonder when they’ll put out a statement retracting it since it’s obviously false
>>123200377kekSo Stravinsky and Mahler then are the last two?
>>123200380stravinsky is definitely not a good conductor, there’s a reason why there really aren’t any recordings of stravinsky conducting anything other than his own music (and even in that regard he’s extremely bland). webern was also apparently a very competent conductor, but we don’t have any recordings of his conducting. depending on your definition of good, bernstein may count. i personally wouldn’t consider him though.
>>123200406>stravinsky is definitely not a good conductor, there’s a reason why there really aren’t any recordings of stravinsky conducting anything other than his own music (and even in that regard he’s extremely bland).Ah okay, you're right I just inferred that since there are acclaimed recordings of him conducting his own music he must have been a bonafide quality conductor in general. And I considered Bernstein but I haven't heard his music and figured bringing him up with you was an exercise in futility. Must be somewhat decent though if Shaw recorded one of his choral works, I should listen to that.
>>123200424i mean, bernstein's music is popular enough that it receives recordings from other conductors semi-regularly, but i wouldn't take that as a metric of quality by any stretch, just that he is one of the most recent examples of a major composer-conductor. i also forgot to mention that markevitch wrote a lot of music that's barely ever been recorded, but it does exist.

The fact that Wagner transforms the Venusberg music into the "pulse of life" music is astounding. I had never noticed they were connected before, but it makes the dualism between sensuality and spirit so much less severe and shows they're just two sides of one person.This is dramatic music. Music expressing dramatic truths. Just genius!

>>123203091My kind of writing on music. Thanks for the post. I wish I could read these kinds of things about all the classical music I listen to and love. Seems to be far more prevalent in literature, with music you just get a lot of technical theory stuff. Important to be sure but since I'm not a composer or musician or musicologist, it doesn't interest me; I care more about what the art 'does,' what it says. I only care about how it works in literature.
>>123203171the art doesn't "do" any of that, it's just wagnerites smoking crack as usual.

>>123203330karajan's beethoven fucking sucks
>>123203240Neat, thanks.>>123203254Oh :( Does art music really not express complex ideas in that manner? And is rather 'just' shades of the comic/tragic divide in emotional terms? I suppose that's fine if so, it is the 'purest' artistic form after all, the absolute molding of form and content, etc etc., and there's plenty of depth to be had in riling those emotions, but it'd be more fun if it did content deeper, more complex themes and content like that.
>>123203355>it'd be more fun if it did content deeper, more complex themes and content like that.it does, it's called program music. beethoven has nothing to do with that.
>>123203349Why?
>>123203369My bad, I didn't mean of that type, I should have left out the word 'content.' So when you listen to, say, Beethoven's op. 131, what do you feel or think, if you don't mind me asking?>>123203330I think Karajan's Beethoven is excellent.
>>123203385completely smears over the entire orchestra with homogenized strings and brass. his orchestra may as well not have a woodwind section.

>>123203411I can hear them fine in this recording that I posted.
>>123203450And what emotions?
>>123203465not that you would know, since you have no idea what beethoven sounds like with forward, timbrally distinct woodwinds. >>123203473the entirety of op.131 effectively spans the entire gamut of human emotion, you're going to have to be more specific.
>>123203491>not that you would know, since you have no idea what beethoven sounds like with forward, timbrally distinct woodwinds.I mean, I can hear them fine. What's more to say about that? Can you point out which part has it buried and which recording is preferable in that regard?

>>123203582first link is broken for some reasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPu-B2MWW78>>123203616then those pieces aren't in sonata form. the fundamental point of sonata form is that a second key area in the exposition is resolved to the home key area in the recapitulation. even haydn's monothematic sonata forms do this.
>>123203582>>123203640I don't know, doesn't really sound like Karajan is any worse for wear by comparison to these two. If anything he's way more dramatic and incisive
>>123203933karajan is absolutely not more dramatic or incisive than szell lol, what the fuck are you smoking
>>123203933Just different tastes. Nothing wrong with preferring Karajan's.
>>123203330I don't know about best, but not having listened to the 7th in a longtime, I played this one yesterday and loved it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KqAGPP99sI&list=OLAK5uy_mkjrvLzDsuydKOsFUx70tZ-COYviX33Uk&index=1
>>123203933Also the Szell recording sounds unrealistically bright to my ears. I've heard Beethoven's 7th in concert many times, it doesn't sound like this
>>123203966there is such a thing as bad taste, and karajan’s beethoven is a good example>>123203998that’s because modern orchestras all sound like knockoffs of karajan’s berlin with thick strings and homogenous woodwinds.
>>123204018No I mean the recording itself, not really the sound of the orchestra. Sounds way too hot Maybe it sounds like that if you have a front row seat
>>123204037it’s both the fact that modern string sections have no bite and 50s-70s columbia recording equipment being on the slightly brighter side. you can clearly hear a difference between the sound of cleveland under szell and, say, NYPO under bernstein, or the columbia symphony (basically the LAPO) under walter.
>>123204018>there is such a thing as bad taste, and karajan’s beethoven is a good exampleI agree on the first point, but disagree that anything which has reached the level of acclaim and prominence as his cycle could be an example of that, my own personal feelings and enjoyment of the recordings aside.
>>123204155horenstein’s mahler is plenty acclaimed too, but it’s atrocious. plenty of shitty recordings get acclaimed thanks to extramusical factors (marketing and distribution usually)

>More I listen to Karl Richter and more I am convinced that he has been an invention of the discographic industry. He deliberately ignored the baroque musical practice, notwithstanding in the 1960s and 1970s there were scholars who investigated this matter. He often used instruments in arbitrary way, transverse flute and English horn instead of recorder and oboe da caccia. YouTubers elude more valid directors and soloists who have been actual pioneers in the historical performance, like Ralph Kirkpatrick, August Wenzinger and Eduard Melkus. They were much better musicians than other their contemporaries and achieved the worth to have investigated the ancient treaties to restore the right approach to this music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geqRUuxCi7A
>>123213011Another metronomic performance from Karl Richter with a horrible sounding harpsichord.
>>123213047>t. Guy from the commentsRichter is the only harpsichordist that has a non shit sound.
>>123213171>nuh-uh!Very convincing argument
let's start the day withhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=f5NcUgl0NQ0may we all have a great day! how can you not starting the day with music like thisnote: I mistyped the captcha 5 times, that does not bode well
>>123213202What is even the argument?>He plays it too precisely and i dont subjectively like how his instrument soundsRetardation
>>123213396Metronomic tempo has nothing to do with precision. You might as well listen to a MIDI at this point, Richter's performance is robotic and sterile and just as bad as any other HIPster.
>>123213202>>123213396>>123213405>>123213011His Brandenburgs are unmatched still. They're good enough that one has been shot into space for alien species to enjoy.
>>123213522The Munch recording is really good toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44uO1NvbkPU
>>123213522They suffer from the same issue that all Richter recordings do in their sterility. The only tolerable Richter recordings are the choral ones since he usually obtained excellent singers.
>>123213564He also stokowski'd the fuck out of the cantatas, which sounds awesome.
I greatly enjoy Richter's WTC and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
>>123213695i'm pretty sure they're talking about karl, not sviatoslav
>>123213738Ah yes, my bad.
>>123213695There are people who don't enjoy S. Richter's WTC?

I think the problem with the harpsichord is that the HIP perfromers picks the first and oldest one they can find. I dunno if it was Hurwitz or the guy who made the list of definitive Bach recordings for Forbes who said that, but I think he was right.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EL3QYeIBfI
>>123215423Is this what the kids refer to as shoegaze?
>>123215459The age doesn't really matter so long as it sounds good. Richter and Landowska both used some of the most garbage, tinny sounding harpsichords known to man.
I fuckin' love Mahler's 1st Symphony, one of my favorite works of music to start the day with
>>123215459https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQD_J4T58Cw I prefer grand harpischords like the one Staier uses in his WTC recording. His instrument covers a very wide spectrum of sonorous possibilities, to the point where you could say it sounds like multiple instruments.
>>123216072the harpsichord at best sounds like a harp but isn't as flexible so why play it?Now listening:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0x6GxbIF_c
>>123216109Flexibility seems like a weird criteria to me. You could say that the harpsichord's greatest weakness is its lack of dynamic range, but that can very well depend on the model and in some ways it's beneficial. BWV 1052, even at its best, always sounds a bit wrong to me on a piano, whereas on a proper harpsichord, due to its volume and lack of dynamic range, it can really stampede through the accompanying orchestra and assert its dominance. For solo works I'm pretty OK whether or not it's a piano or a harpsichord, especially for something like WTC I'm more interested in the performer's take than their choice of instrument.

Thoughts on the conductor Manfred Honeck?
>>123216517Probably one of the better living conductors, but unfortunately he's on the Reference Recordings label which has very muddy, dynamically compressed sound. His old Exton recordings are much better sonically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXAv-NGppFw pretty much always does a great Dvorak 8th.
>>123216613Thanks! Added a recording of his Dvorak 8, which also includes a Janacek symphonic suite. Also just downloaded his Mahler 1.

>>123216517for some reason he really likes Dvorak 8. when he guest conducts there a big chance that he will program Dvorak 8 or a Tchaikovsky symphony.
Saw someone here refer to Dudamel as 'Dudameme' once and now I can't read or pronounce his name any other way.
>>123216696this is stellar btw, highly recommended for fans of Tchaikovsky 5 or good music!
>>123216808Ah lol noted. He conducts across the country (Pittsburgh ye?) so doubt I ever will, I was more interested in his recordings, but still nice to know.
>>123189412There should be more Hip performances that use the Pleyel piano for Chopin or those old pianos with moderators for Beethoven and Mozart
https://youtu.be/9hVFCmK6GgM?si=rr3yWYMWyl5p5VWhThis is a million times more beautiful than any piano piece from the 1800s.
bait is supposed to be believable, RYMsister
>>123217224its basically a mediocre Satie piece. And this is cage at his best, why is he considered to be this musical god again?
>>123217235
>>123217224Imagine being this wrong.Chopin is worlds ahead of any pianist dead or alive in sheer beauty and melodicism. There is nothing like a Chopin's Ballade, save a Bach fugue or a Beethoven Sonata, maybe.
>>123217398Chopin? Shitpan
>>123217436Even Gould admitted that Chopin was perfect in HIS way of playing, unfortunately Gould had a completely different brain 'structure' probably from mutation of some sort, that combined with his extreme autism did not allow him to enjoy the real piano music as much as his own 'way' of playing - awful by every objective criteria
I love Clavichord's cause they look and sound like such pieces of shit. They look like they're going to break at any moment, it's a shame they aren't used more
>>123217536I wholeheartedly agree.
>like some details in X recording>others in Y recording>can't choose which one to listen toDoes thos happen to you? If so, how often?
>>123217533>Gould had a completely different brain 'structure' probably from mutation of some sort, that combined with his extreme autismSounds like the sisterposterI think he just didn't like Chopin that much-doesn't mean he had a mutated brain lol.>as much as his own 'way' of playing - awful by every objective criteria If that was true he wouldn't have been a world class concert pianist and recording pianist
>>123217589just open audacity and make a remix bro
>>123217589Often enough, I guess. I'm very much obsessed with minute details in balances to the point where I can sometimes get lost in small details over the big picture. There was a time in my life where I obsessed over recordings of Der Ring. Up to 2017, I had heard literally every recording of the piece up to then.
>>123217632How many recordings is that?
>>123217651I couldn't tell you. Maybe around 50.

>>123217589That's part of the fun, no definitive recording, but a variety of excellent ones each with their own nuances and strengths and appeal.
lets get JansonsAlso I'mma try it anyway, but how's Jansons' Bruckner? Gonna listen to his 8th later today.
>>123217720not having a definitive recording is extremely irritating, i like comparing interpretations as much as the next guy, but i like having a default recording to fall back on as well.
>>123217713Thank you for your diagnosis Dr Tranz Jan Itor
>>123217797Well, I guess I just don't see what's wrong with having a couple or more defaults, or as I call them, "go-to's." Sometimes I have 2, sometimes as many as 4.

I will admit it's somewhat uneven, but if I had to take one WTC recording to a desert island I would choose Gulda's. Just consistently interesting. Gulda was one of the few modern pianists who was a creative artist, not just a performer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ecy8yK-o8c
