Why does music from non-European cultures sound so shit? Compare thishttps://youtu.be/EeP5t-TsQ2Eto thishttps://youtu.be/iWJ32G4eyrwThe japanese one is just some fucking retard going up and down a scale with no thought. I could make this shit on the spot but these guys had to write it down for some reason. With Bach there is a reason it's written down, it is not something that is easily able to be done on the spot.Is it just our diatonic scale forcing us to put more thought in how we approach music, or is it something deeper?
>>123702914literally one of his worst symphonies

https://youtu.be/f9fevFfbu1c?si=duJPqjBT7Ef67FPuI've heard other performances of this work that are more immaculate, with more up-to-date sound, but they make Schoenberg sound like a polymath. Rosbaud makes the music sound like one of Schoenberg's Expressionist paintings. The performance is richly characterized, almost operatic, but also more explosive. It's what Adorno meant by describing Expressionism as bursting the template of stylized emotion and creating something more visceral. When you consider the trauma around Schoenberg in his personal life when this was composed, it even makes sense.

Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 5 performed by Erich Leinsdorf & Chicago Symphony Orchestra (1978)https://youtu.be/lqO6irxDOvUhttps://litter.catbox.moe/ujgwdz.zipStrong performance. It's Chicago, so the brass are quite blasty. It's very similar to his Boston recording, but with a bit more energy, and lacking the obnoxious Dynagroove sound. The Adagietto is a bit slower, but still within a tolerable range (9:14). The sound quality is exceptionally good; Chicago in-house engineers used the same microphones and a setup comparable to the Mercury Living Presence, and luckily this upload is sourced from tape that was copied directly from the master. Leinsdorf was a fairly uncharismatic, simple conductor, who has been often lambasted for being completely forgettable. Ironic, then, that he is in a very small group of conductors that managed to make tolerable recordings of the 5th.
>>123708280Sweet, thanks. YouTube Music only has the Boston recording paired with the 6th. Will definitely listen to it next time I play the 5th.

>>123708280>Leinsdorf was a fairly uncharismatic, simple conductor, who has been often lambasted for being completely forgettable.it's funny how his recordings of some of the most elusive and difficult to get right repertoire ended up being among the best, like his mahler 5 or die walkure. in these barbaric times, simplicity appears to have become a virtue.
>>123708510Total zzzz of a symphony, basically filler from end-to-end. Do not recommend. The 2nd and 4th are great though.
>>123708603Yeah, with Wagner especially, the less "philosophical" and "creative" you are, the better the recording will turn out.

>>123708802That's awful advice. Most contemporary Wagner conductors follow that principle and it sounds atrocious.
>>123702938>. I could make this shit on the spot but these Well go on then; I’d be like to see that
>>123709043The main issue with modern Wagner performances lie with the singers and the production. Which conductors are you referring to as literalists? There are a few that fit that bill, but I wouldn't say "majority."

>>123709347yes, you are addicted to porn. the sooner you admit it, the better.
>>123709081Most contemporary Wagner conductors just trod along without much skill. Makes the music sound very flat and boring.
>>123709232I can see that. In seriousness I thought it was an abstract, artsy 'W' for Wagner until I actually looked it at this morning when listening to it, the pretzel thing was just a joke,

>>123709387Again, who are you referring to? "trod along without much skill" is something that I agree with in regards to modern Wagner conducting, but I wouldn't call that literalism per se. Thielemann is a horrible modern Wagner conductor, who is very much philosophically involved with Wagner's work, who takes great strides in being as creative as he can be, and yet all of his recordings are complete failures and not worth hearing.

>>123708259I have fond memories of listening to classical radio on a few vacations, most notably one of my ex-gf's family's beach house at Rockaway Beach, where there was a really nice sound system setup but it was older so couldn't use our phones, only the radio; it was really nice. Otherwise I prefer to pick what I'm listening to, as I'm sure almost everyone else these days would agree with, but I do think about trying out an online classical radio station on the rare occasion because there is a certain appeal to listening to music you don't choose yourself, plus discovering new pieces of course.

https://youtu.be/9GhGuEW4k5w?si=vDPm1Qfkvr3ZZRSg&t=748Here it is. The moment. The peak. The finale. The epitome. Your chariot has arrived at the point of no return, you are now forever scarred, you are cursed with this theophany. Your body no longer responds to your command, for Wagner has taken control. Only "He" decides what is right and wrong, he is the judge, jury, adjudicator and executioner. No amount of pussies you fuck, no amount of drugs you indulge yourself in, will make you forget this Dionysian delirium. You have been castrated, both physically and spiritually. How do "we" the victims of a brutish rape comfort ourselves? How do we release ourselves from these chains? Wagner has squeezed himself inside you. You have no name or identity, you had abandoned these trivialities once your ears graced those french horns and imploding sound waves. Wagner. That is all. That is everything.

Stupid question but are Liszt's larger piano works/cycles meant to be listened to in one sitting? Stuff like Années de pèlerinage, Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, and the Hungarian Rhapsodies. Were/are they performed that way? I often get burnt out halfway through because they're so dense.

Who wrote the best violin sonatas?Hardmode: No Beethoven.
>>123719108That's not really hard mode at all. Both Mozart and Brahms have better violin sonatas than Beethoven

>>123720430it’s not, the phrasing and articulation is dogshit as per usual with harnoncourt and he somehow makes the concertgebouw of all orchestras sound bland.

>>123720499i don’t think you know what good mozart or even good orchestral playing is supposed to sound like, this conversation is clearly flying over your head

>>123720578god
>>123720587Actually, it's G-d.
>>123720409Still the best complete Mozart symphony cycle, although there's probably better 550s and 551s out there. Very hard to find the "perfect" recording for those works somehow
>>123720756lel we have the exact same opinion. Levine's cycle is great but it's so hard to find ideal 550s and 551s.

>>123721108I wouldn't call it soft, lightweight is probably more apt. Which is fine, as that allows it to be graceful, agile, and playful, all good stuff, but I wouldn't have it as one's only recording for sure.
>>123721303szell’s mozart is not lightweight lol, his orchestra is no smaller than anyone else’s of that era. the difference is that his players know how to play in tempo and he takes swift tempi, so it doesn’t sound like gelatinous dragging mush.
>>123721303Nah it's definitely soft. The percussion sounds like a wet fart in the Jupiter symphony especially, all of it sounds safe and lacking in accent

Trying to decide what Berlioz Requiem to listen to, and came upon Ralph Moore's survey in which he, above all, recommends these three:>Inbal 1988>Pappano 2019*>Abravanel 1969https://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2022/Feb/Berlioz-requiem-survey.htmSo gonna listen to the Pappano. Any thoughts, or personal favorites? For me I've always loved Shaw's, Bernstein's, and Munch's, so we'll see if this as good or even better; hoping it is.
>>123721503Oh and if anyone wants to try it out too:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B5wO8coDsw&list=OLAK5uy_miWCKJd4Xn1PyfOXtZvhAMCC1e_gbngv0&index=1and of course the usual litmus test of the Dies irae:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPjoyUlbysU&list=OLAK5uy_miWCKJd4Xn1PyfOXtZvhAMCC1e_gbngv0&index=2

>>123721850
>>123721858C. P. E. B.A.C.H.
>>123721892essential RYMtranny core
>>123721879Mostly just K.526. But most of his mature violin sonatas are just plain nice. In fact, it's with the "Mannheim Sonatas" (K.301-306) that Mozart really comes into his own.
>>123721748We prefer 19th/early 20th century romanticism to everything else here.

>>123721946musically illiterate moment
>>123721946Bud Powell was one of the great jazz pianists, like top-3 of all time. He was however literally degenerate: drugs, alcohol, mental illness
>>123721807>>123721946
>>123721980It is impossible to capture a performance of Sternklang on CD. The piece is literally "Space Music". A friend of mine was a performer at the Los Angeles premiere (in conjunction with the Olympics in 1984). The piece was performed in a park -- a LARGE park, with trees. The musicians are divided into five groups which are dispersed throughout the park, roughly in a huge circle. The groups are placed so far apart from each other that they can barely hear each other. A Tam Tam player stands alone in the center of this huge circle, and serves to periodically synchronize all the groups. Otherwise, the groups proceed with their own music, oblivious of the other groups. What links all these groups together is the "Sound Runner" (Klangläufer). This is a player with a melody instrument in his or her hands, who will stand by one group until he or she hears a "model" (musical extract) that he or she wants to travel with. He or she then walks to another group, while repeating the model. When he or she arrives, the group listens to the model that the Sound Runner has brought them, and integrates it into whatever music they are playing at the time. While the Sound Runner is bouncing around between the different groups, the audience is free to walk wherever it wants (without inhibiting the players). We were afraid that there was going to be rain that day, and there was, but it stopped before the performance. The grass was wet, and it was cold, but it was still a unique musical experience. I wish someone in Southern California would perform it again.
>>123721979yawn
>>123722028sure but if powell is a degenerate mozart and brahms would be too.
>>123722085How so?
>>123722048yawn>>123722085remind me what drugs and alcohol mozart and brahms partook in? >>123722040>>123721997

>>123722100>>123722103mozart and brahms were both alcoholics who couldn't handle their liquor. Beethoven drank his liver into destruction. Mozart was also a coomer. Like wagner secretly was.
>>123722151so, do you have a source for any of this or did you dream it up while slamming that crack pipe?
>>123722151I don't think there's any evidence that Mozart was an alcoholic. Beethoven indeed was though and he also fucked prostitutes
>>123722167Beethoven had cirrhosis of the liver
>>123722204i'm still waiting on that source.
>>123722167not for mozart but brahms and beethoven were drinkers>>123722185he has to have been. He was most likely wasted when writing those scat jokes.
>>123722258see >>123722221
>>123721748Who do you wanna talk about?
>>123722273buffoon.
>>123722288(insert babby's first RYMtranny composer here)>>123722340so it came to you while boofing your crack pipe, glad we could come to that conclusion so readily.
Classical composers weren't the paragons of virtue. On the contrary, some were as degenerate as the artists of today. Musicians made outstanding art in spite of their flaws, not because they were morally upstanding people. Mozart routinely mismanaged his finances and happily indulged in scatological humor. In death, he had few mourners and was then dumped into an unmarked grave. The legacy his music enjoys is entirely posthumous because, in life, Mozart was a terminal fuck-up.Other composers of note:>Brahms: routinely patronized whores and womanized like crazy.>Johann Rosenmüller: arrested for homosexuality and pedophilia with young boys.>Jean-Baptiste Lully: another pedophile and homosexual who married a woman to avoid a death sentence.>Franz Liszt: notorious womanizer.>Franz Schubert: died of syphilis, possible homosexual.>Alessandro Stradella: womanizer and conman whose shifty ways caught up with him when a prominent nobleman dispatched an assassin to kill him. His murderer was never found.>Richard Wagner: stole the wife of a friend, participated in the Dresden uprising, seduced King Ludwig II to make him pay for the Bayreuth Theatre
>>123722221Sorry for the terrible pic. I am kind of surprised you didn't know Beethoven was an alcoholic. Surely you've read one or more biographies
>>123722376see >>123722167
>>123722372what if i told you... ligeti is famous outside of rym
>>123722393i know beethoven was an alcoholic, i just wanted to see if that retard could prove it alongside the obviously false stuff in his post. >>123722412if you insist, RYMsister
>>123722372>so it came to you while boofing your crack pipe, glad we could come to that conclusion so readily.you're an idiot. It's a well known fact that beethoven and brahms were drunkards. It's like a moron who wants a picture of the sky because he believes it's not blue. No need to go out of my way and provide source for a common factoid you lummox.
>>123722483if this fact is so well known, it should be extremely easy to prove. take your time, i can wait.
>>123721956>that Mozart really comes into his own.commercially and artistically?Kidding aside thanks for the rec. A bit easier to answer, when does he come into his own with his string quartets?
>>123722494>it should be extremely easy to proveyes that's why it's already been proven you dunderhead.
>>123722509where? i don't see any source for brahms being an alcoholic.
>>123722518not my problem redditard. Brahms was an alcoholic. Believe it if you wish to or not I don't care.
