repeating my question from the previous thread to my gielenbro, what's your favorite mahler 6th? listening to gielen's now and he definitely takes it a bit too straight, though his swiftness and conviction are to be admired.

I'm not really even sure anymore. I admire Chailly's recent recording as far as the interpretation is concerned, but I am similarly not convinced by A-S. I think I need to sit down and do a serious discography listen since my tastes have changed somewhat since the last time I did so. But doing Mahler listens of that scope is always so time consuming...
>>
>>124281678
yeah, i'm in the same boat. it's hard to do comprehensive mahler comparisons compared to beethoven given the former can have first movements of over 20 minutes in length whereas the first movement of the 8th is what, 8 minutes? like i still haven't made my way through the first movement of gielen's 70s mahler 6, and in the same time frame i could have listened to a large chunk of beethoven's 4th and gotten a good idea of how the overall interpretation sounds. mahler's expansiveness is occasionally to his detriment.

Chopin is for women.
>>
>>124281999
Chopin is exclusively for aristocracy, both men and women, you have no have a parician taste.
>The work [Ballade No.4 in F Minor] was dedicated to Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild, wife of Nathaniel de Rothschild, who had invited Chopin to play in her Parisian residence, where she introduced him to the aristocracy and nobility.

Disgusting schizo insomniac scat fetishist post.
>>
While Chopin indeed possessed of a knack for indisputably magical-sounding right-handed tinkling, and while he did indeed compose a number of tolerable (and possibly even beautiful) works, Chopin’s ultra-Romantic sound is almost nauseating under the right (or would they be wrong?) conditions. The bulk of his compositions were made either as teaching devices (he had a number of young, and usually female, pupils) or as salon accompaniments meant to serve as admittedly fitting background to hedonistic bourgeois prancing, dancing and flirting; the small part of Chopin’s catalogue which is preferable to these former pieces still have yet to live this fact down. His works are best suited for those of the male species who enjoy “stopping to smell the flowers,” and for little girls who play MASH all day and incessantly draw pictures of how they think their future weddings will appear.
>>
>The music journalist Moritz Weber, who started researching Chopin’s letters during the spring lockdown, said he discovered a “flood of declarations of love aimed at men”, sometimes direct in their erotic tone, sometimes full of playful allusions. In one, Chopin described rumours of his affairs with women as a “cloak for hidden feelings”.

>“You don’t like being kissed,” Chopin wrote to his school friend Tytus Woyciechowski in one of 22 letters. “Please allow me to do so today. You have to pay for the dirty dream I had about you last night.” Letters to the friend, who was actively involved in Poland’s January uprising of 1863, often start with “My dearest life” and end with: “Give me a kiss, dearest lover.”

>Some letters fall just short of being sexually explicit. In July 1837, Chopin wrote to his friend Julian Fontana in Paris from London, reporting with excitement about “great urinals” with “nowhere to have a good tinkle”.

Very nice recording, engineered under Horst Kunze who also did the wonderful Annerose Shmidt recordings of Mozart's piano concertos and has that specific Kunze sound. I really like how the bass section sounds in his recordings. It always has this big full sound. His recordings can only be described as colorful. Good listen.

I have nothing against Chopin, I just don't find any of his music very interesting. But like I said, I'm willing to give it another try, to see what I might be missing.

As for Tchaikovsky, I find most of his music downright offensive, completely tacky, his piano concerto especially so. I can listen to parts of Eugene Onegin

When I read the post mention Gielen's Mahler, I assumed there was no way it was you!
>>
>>124283217
hearing his EMI beethoven cycle made me totally reconsider him as a conductor, and listening to his mahler 6 confirmed it for me - gielen’s older recordings are genuinely good and he got significantly worse as he aged. most of the recordings in the SWRmusik boxes are likely from when he was past his prime.
>>
>>124283240
Well it's always good to reexamine things as time passes, especially since we're (most of us) are still young so changes are bound to happen. I'll probably revisit Gielen's 7th someday, as it's too beloved not too give it another chance down the line. Also, I thought you loved the Thomas "Not Kurt" Sanderling one, and that one is played very straight and classically-inclined, no?
>>
>>124283204
apparently this fat gay jew who takes pleasure in having male genitalia in and around his orifices had also named another jew as a contender for the reference recording. the gentile was placed last!

>>
>>124283299
I can't believe you actually pulled it up, feeling how you feel. But yes I was surprised to read Hurwitz so casually state he switched the track ordering when listening.

>Now this is not the place to get into the tangled argument on the subject of Mahler’s indecision in this regard versus the musical arguments pro and con. I prefer the scherzo second–and I played this performance that way–so I don’t really care what any conductor does; I will simply listen as pleases me and so should you.

I'm guessing you may not like it. The first movement is quite drawn out. Still, the balance is miraculously clear throughout. I don't think I've heard a more transparent recording of the 6th.

I need to revisit Haitink's early live 6th. I remember enjoying it a lot for the sound of the orchestra, especially because the live sound is wonderfully natural and the clarinet and tuba are spotlit to hell and sound delicious.
It's on CD12 of the "Haitink Live - The Radio Recordings" on Red. Gonna give a listen this evening.
>>124283240
>most of the recordings in the SWRmusik boxes are likely from when he was past his prime.
Yup. Big time. I'll probably upload some of his live stuff to my YouTube channel (and here as lossless files) when I find some time. There are some juicy morsels there. He actually has a Mahler 5 from Cincinnati that is *very* much modeled after Walter for example.

Or his live performance of Bruckner's 9th has a particular detail that I've always had a mild obsession over since I first heard it. It's such a minor thing, but it's something I always look out for kinda like Schuricht's string tremolos in the Beethoven 9/1 fugue.

https://files.catbox.moe/gzniy3.mp3
>It is the only performance I know where you can hear what Bruckner wrote in the bars beginning with bar 87, where the descending cello pizzicati are noted first fortissimo then forte with accents above them and the indication ‘hervortretend’ i.e.‘emerging’. I don’t know any other performance, where you can hear this, Gielen’s own performances included
>>
>>124283286
i think both of gielen's mahler 7ths (one with SWR, one with berlin) date from the same period, the early 90s, the same time as his intercord beethoven cycle. for comparison, every other recording in his SWR mahler box is from later in the same decade or the 2000s and beyond save his mahler 4th (this appears to be another intercord recording) and his standalone adagio of the 10th (also intercord as mentioned above), leaving his intercord 9th as the only mahler recording from that time period that was never reissued elsewhere for whatever reason. his das lied von der erde is in the bizarre but not so uncommon situation of having all the tenor songs recorded nearly a decade before the alto songs, resulting in a mix.
>>124283355
you know me too well, i like it when the allegro part of allegro energico is taken seriously.
is this bruckner 9 you're talking about available anywhere or is it only a live bootleg?
speaking of schuricht's string tremolo's, you should listen to gielen's 9th; i think you'll be pleasantly surprised. it's a little too stiff on the whole, but those tremolos are definitely audible in his recording, though certainly not as much as schuricht's.
>>
>>124283412
>or is it only a live bootleg?
Bootleg. His live Bruckner 9s that are publicly available are all kinda dull.
>you should listen to gielen's 9th; i think you'll be pleasantly surprised. it's a little too stiff on the whole, but those tremolos are definitely audible in his recording
Haven't had time to hear the Beethoven 9th just yet on that cycle, but will do so soon.

The problem with exploring recordings of solo piano music is there are piles and piles of mediocre and worse performances, so to avoid having one's time wasted, it's easy to get stuck only listening to those by big names and names one already recognizes. With an orchestral piece, there's far less options so it's easier and faster to find the 'best' one. Yes, more options is generally a good thing but at a point with the standard repertoire, it just becomes overwhelming.

Yeah this is what they teach at schools, and it's bunch of bullshit. Although there is some truth in that, it's quite irrelevant to the music itself. The main differences lie within the styes of music, harmony, form, etc.

I wouldn't say music 'for" the sake of music, but I get what you mean. There is a turn toward viewing the nature of the world and Being as something independent from (but still created by, of course) God, and discoverable through rationality which function on fundamental, immutable laws of logic. This of course applies to aesthetics and art and music.

It's about coming to terms with death, the joy of living, and appreciating life's journey with all of its struggles and tribulations. This 'coming to terms' extends beyond just individual, personal life as well, into the closing of romanticism and 19th century life and turbulent transition into modernism and the 20th century

The formal aspects, sure. However, most music contains emotional, dramatic content and while most are straightforward enough to be distilled down to 'joy or despair, energetic or contemplative?' some are more complex than that, Mahler's work especially. I mean he considered writing programmes for his music.

from listening and comparing the most famous baroque and classical works I felt that the baroque music was more defined by its grandiose stylization and the classical music was less stylized and more explorative into what can be accomplished in a given piece. I've yet to really listen to much Romantic stuff but what I have heard it seems more stripped back and interested in conveying a feeling to the listener that relates a certain experience intended by the composer. The baroque music seems the most awe inspiring, the classical is the most stimulating, the romantic the most personal.

It doesn't have to be explicitly as programmatic as, say, Beethoven's 6th Symphony to mean and evoke something beyond just anxiety, despair, hope, etc. in a totally abstract and general sense, while beautiful.

The Romantic, Classical, Renaissance (sacred music) and modern eras are all degenerate as they often attempt incorporating non-musical elements in music. Opera is a degenerate genre which could only be explained by the lack of taste found in Italy. The only relevant music ever composed for its musical value was chamber music without titles, most baroque and classical music without titles.

The ultimate musical degeneracy is clearly Mahler's symphonies and Impressionism, they were manifestations of the ineluctable abasement and prostitution of music. Beethoven's fifth could be considered as one of the first examples of this, although against the composer's intention, but rather because of philistines associating extra-musical ideas to said symphony, such as "fate knocking on the door" or similar retarded shit. Attempts at incorporating anything non-musical in music outside of Overtures and Opera is degeneracy. Most of said degeneracy originated in Germany, due to retarded romantic ideals; Wagner and Liszt would thus be the supreme degenerates of classical music.

Chopin always looked at composers nicknaming pieces and doing similar things in contempt; he was right: Chopin was the last composer to walk this earth, before German degeneracy wiped music away and replaced it with effeminate, extra-musical ramblings, sold to dumb masses as "Zukunftsmusik", which should have been named "Unschicklichmusik".

>>124286089
That's my point, it's not as binary as you're painting it.

>We must recall that Mahler lived at a time when art was manifestly personal. The years before the First War were years of profound unrest in which a sense of dread and exhaustion permeated Europe, eliciting the paintings of Klimt, Beckmann, and Kokoschka, the writing of Kraus, Wedekind, and Hofmannsthal – works of art that reflected an obsession with analysis and transformation. It is hardly surprising that this particular man at this particular time should have written music wrung out of the deepest recesses of his complex personality and concerned with the great issues of life and death.

>...

>There seem to be two kinds of music in the first movement: music that is gentle, harmonious, sublimely beautiful, and resolved; and music that is complex, dissonant, full of tension and unresolved. And the structure of the movement seems to set these two kinds of music against each other. The former kind may be said to represent hope, joy, the possibility of peace, spiritual meaning, and an acceptance of death, while the latter may be said to represent hate, anguish, suffering, doubt, confusion, and fear.

>Musically speaking, the former is represented in the ardent, yearning, nostalgic harmonies of late-nineteenth-century Romantic style; the latter, in the tortured, involuted, contrapuntal, and often virtually atonal style of the early twentieth-century. In 1909, when the Ninth Symphony was composed, Mahler stood at the very dividing line between these two worlds: he was the culmination of the past and the harbinger of the future, the pinnacle of the Romantic era and the admirer and champion of the young Schoenberg, standard-bearer of the Second Viennese School. The Ninth Symphony, Mahler’s last completed work, embodies this fundamental struggle between the two ages and depicts one man’s struggle between hope and despair, meaning and chaos, joy and resignation in the face of his own death.

Now, again, it isn't programmatic, there's nothing in it vulgar and crude that's along the lines of 'oh this bar represents X historical event' but it's surely aware of and giving voice to a cultural and historical moment, much like Beethoven's 9th and Enlightenment ideals and the French Revolution.
>>
>>124286176
a whole load of comical extra-musical nonsense that falls apart the second you realize that mahler died from strep throat that he caught literal years after writing the 9th. he wasn’t fucking nostradamus, he had intentions to continue performing and writing music for the foreseeable future. all this bullshit is just extensions of the batshit bernstein farewell theory.
>>
>>124286233
beethoven’s 9th literally contains an entire choral movement set to a text directly linked to the enlightenment, you fucking retard. what the hell were you thinking making such a totally disproportionate comparison?
>>
>>124286253
Right, which only means it was more explicit in its meaning. What about the rest of the 9th? What about his 3rd?

Lemme ask you this then: so what exactly is the extent of emotional, dramatic content within works like these for you? "Any resemblance this music has to emotions and ideas permeating within the cultural psyche and relating to the human condition is purely coincidental?" When a work is joyful or tragic or whatever, it's strictly formal and self-contained? There's obviously a middle-ground, a spectrum.
>>
>>124286355
>What about the rest of the 9th?
has no relation to any of those things
>What about his 3rd?
has a programmatic title and was literally almost named after and dedicated to napoleon, you dipshit.
>what exactly is the extent of emotional, dramatic content within works like these for you?
as much as the music itself entails. i don’t believe in projecting onto the score.
>When a work is joyful or tragic or whatever, it's strictly formal and self-contained?
when the finale of beethoven’s 5th expresses tremendous uproarious joy, i don’t assume that it’s because beethoven won the fucking lottery the day he wrote it or some shit. it represents joy and triumph coming out of the immense struggle and turbulence of the preceding scherzo and first movement, and that’s it. that’s all it needed to say.
>>
>>124286434
>has a programmatic title and was literally almost named after and dedicated to napoleon, you dipshit.

Yes, that's my point, ya jabroni. So if we didn't know that "crossing off Napoleon's name in a rage" story and there wasn't the title, the music would all of a sudden cease to have any larger cultural, historical, and philosophical meaning? That's what you're suggesting?

>when the finale of beethoven’s 5th expresses tremendous uproarious joy, i don’t assume that it’s because beethoven won the fucking lottery the day he wrote it or some shit. it represents joy and triumph coming out of the immense struggle and turbulence of the preceding scherzo and first movement, and that’s it. that’s all it needed to say.

Yes. And some music say something more, or if not more, then relating what it says to something in real life. That doesn't make it full-on programmatic either, else all of Shostakovich's music would be programmatic.

>>124286507
>So if we didn't know that "crossing off Napoleon's name in a rage" story and there wasn't the title, the music would all of a sudden cease to have any larger cultural, historical, and philosophical meaning?
it would still have the title of eroica, which would say everything that needs to be said about it.
>And some music say something more, or if not more, then relating what it says to something in real life.
yeah, some music is more complex than just being happy or sad. that doesn’t give underachievers the excuse to live vicariously through their favorite composers and proclaim that mahler’s 9th is actually him predicting that he would die 2 years later of a random passing disease.
>That doesn't make it full-on programmatic either, else all of Shostakovich's music would be programmatic.

Both of those are much larger(in the second case much, much larger) changes than simply changing a name written on the score. And the inability or refusal to entertain hypotheticals is the sign of a second rate mind.

His Requiem. It really is astonishing that Ligeti's Requiem can be utilized so many times and have such a hold on pop culture, and yet you still hear something new every time you listen to it. There’s a 50 year graveyard of pieces that try to emulate Ligeti’s micropolyphonic music, but can you imagine being the first person to write like that? There was zero precedent for music like that before Ligeti. He expressed emotions that had never been expressed before in art. It’s also astonishing that after centuries of Catholic tradition, a Transylvanian Jew came along and beat every previous composer at their own game. Ligeti wrote the greatest requiem of all time despite viewing the religious tradition behind the form as, at best, a fascination. If anything, that distance is key: Ligeti understood Catholicism as a vehicle for complex horrors, which is the perfect foundation for a work informed by his experience during the Holocaust. I don’t think a true believer could have done that as effectively.

Because you know my question about removing the Eroica title from Beethoven's 3rd and my bringing up Shostakovich's music, which is a perfect demonstration of works which can carry such 'extramusical' meaning (it's not 'extra' musical as it's merely the interpretation *of* of the music, but whatever) without necessarily becoming outright programmatic, both prove my point.

>>124286790
He's trapped because he already admitted the 3rd does in fact contain what he terms 'extramusical' meaning, so he's stuck between trying to claim removing the title would change the meaning the music, which is idiotic, and conceding I'm right.

>because you know if you answer my question honestly it proves me right.
your question puts the cart before the horse and is therefore impossible to answer. the work was conceived of with the title (napoleon, later eroica), if it had no title then it would be a completely different work. it’s pretty simple to understand.
>The notes when it enters people's ears, heart, mind, and soul.
so you’re projecting onto the score then. got it.

again, shostakovich’s music only carries irritation and neuroticism, so i fail to see what sort of special extramusical meaning you’re ascribing to it.
>removing the title would change the meaning the music
removing the title would change the course of history and alter the third symphony into a completely different work, so yes, it would have indeed changed the meaning of it.

removing the title of a symphony is no different to me from removing an entire movement or removing the preceding 2 symphonies that came before the eroica and pretending it’s the first thing beethoven ever wrote. it’s a nonsensical, chronologically impossible occurrence, the piece only exists because of the inspiration of napoleon/the unnamed hero, and without it (and therefore the title) it falls to pieces and ceases to exist like a building that just had its foundation swept from underneath it. does that make it easier for your lesser mind to comprehend?

No. I believe that quality art is able to transcend its creator, message and context. You can strip away the composers name or the title from a symphony and nothing will change, it's still gonna be same piece regardless. However, by removing a movement you are removing a piece from a complete work and what's left is an incomple work. Sure, you can listen to each movement individually, but that is also different from taking away one from a symphony.

I'm saying you can remove the Eroica title and nothing about the work would change. The other anons I'm arguing with are saying such an act would be impossible to even imagine, and is the equivalent of removing an entire movement from the work. Obviously removing the movement is a big deal; removing the title is not.

They're suggesting the symphony only has its 'meaning' as a result of the title. I was calling that ridiculous, hence why I brought up the hypothetical of removing the title, and if that would change anything about the music; I say no, they say yes.

the music can still be broadly described as “heroic”, there is little reason that it couldn’t be; and even so, no, i don’t believe that the average person listening to the eroica blind would go “gee lois this reminds me of the time napoleon overthrew the french monarchy and crowned himself emperor!”

All I'm saying is expression in music isn't entirely self-contained or formal, and in fact can go further to specific philosophical, cultural, and/or historical ideas. Oppression and suffering in Shostakovich; love, death, joy, despair, tranquility, turbulence, stability, change, the close of romanticism, and the onset of modernism in Mahler; Enlightenment ideals of fraternity, equality, and freedom, and heroism in Beethoven, and so on. Many pieces are purely formal, of course, but there's nothing wrong with analyzing non-programmatic works in the aforementioned way is my point, and I myself find it very interesting, but I'm biased because I come from a literature background so that's the way I view things.

Beethoven - Missa Solemnis - Michael Gielen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYGn0il6Rsg
https://litter.catbox.moe/eus5iu.zip
Live performance from Cincinnati in 1982. It was the first time Gielen performed the piece, I think. It's quite comparable to Szell's, actually. Szell definitely has better soloists, and perhaps a more virtuoso choir, but I don't think the May Festival Chorus is too far behind. Anyway, super energetic performance in very good sound quality considering it's a pirate recording. Organ inaudible as usual.

>>124287995
>>124288166
As for the granular stuff, it can be true in a previous time without meaning that to us today; what makes a great work of art enduring is its ability to resonate with us in our time. Those things about heroism and Enlightenment ideals Beethoven expressed are still relevant to use today, in the same way Greek tragedies often contained commentary about specific contemporary events and questions, and when viewed more broadly, still elucidates the human condition for us today.

While doing so in a beautiful way, obviously.

>Enlightenment ideals of fraternity, equality, and freedom, and heroism in Beethoven
beyond heroism, the vast majority of that really does not apply to beethoven’s music outside of the 9th for obvious reasons. how the fuck am i supposed to hear “equality” in beethoven’s 8th? it’s just an enjoyable, witty, funny piece of music. you’re trying too hard to apply blanket statements to composers when the reality is that it only applies to a handful of their pieces, just like how the countryside of the pastoral only applies to just that symphony.
>there's nothing wrong with analyzing non-programmatic works in the aforementioned way is my point

>We seem to emerge from contemplating the reality of death not in a state of gloom, but with a sense of joy. Unlike Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique, a model for this symphony, it ends in major not in minor. It has none of the nihilism and cold sense of futility which is found in so much contemporary art. On the contrary, there is a deep attachment to joy. Despair and knowledge of suffering are turned into a discovering of the meaning and value of life.

The 9th of course, if you don't mind.
>>
>>124288402
a load of nonsense, there is nothing about “death” in the 9th. again, all this bullshit is simply an autobiographical projection onto the music; had mahler lived til the same age as strauss, no one would be saying anything nearly as nonsensical.
the first movement obviously begins with a stirring, beautiful, life affirming main subject that constantly returns ala rondo. the second subject is a tragedy, an oppositional force that the first subject is constantly tries to wrest itself away from but is unable to up until the very end. the second movement is a parody of various dances, from the clumsy (as the score dictates) to the cultured, uptempo waltz; again, a clash of opposing forces. the rondo burleske is more straightforward—violent, aggressive, defiant (again, as the score dictates), chaotic, with a brief reprieve in the central section. and then the adagio finale expresses weariness in the face of the chaos and violence of the rondo-burleske, and weaves itself to a closure of uncertain acceptance.
see? no autobiographical bullshit necessary. only the music.

Liking Beethoven is a sign of low musical intelligence.

There's a reason why every FIRETRUCK composer for the past two hundred years has absolutely adored Beethoven and been deeply inspired by his work. And that reason is because the music that Beethoven created always seems full of forward momentum and rhythmic bluster, and always seems to be trying to be an advocate for some sort of emotional conflict or triumph. It seems very dramatic and self-absorbed.

If you Iove the romantic style compared to other styles thats one thing. But you have to loathe the lack of sublety of Beethoven's work.

Liking Beethoven is like liking young adult novels or reality shows. It comes off as ignorant.

Gave the early Haitink live 6th another listen. It's as I remember - lacking in drama but orchestral color of the Concertgebouw is so well projected on that recording that I almost don't care.
