>“I recognize now that the characteristic fabric of my music (always of course in the closest association with the poetic design), that my friends now regard as so new and so significant, owes its construction above all to the extreme sensitivity that guides me in the direction of mediating and providing an intimate bond between all the different moments of transition that separate the extremes of mood. I should now like to call my most delicate and profound art the art of transition”

Herreweghe's Mozart choral recordings are so good, especially this Requiem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3uWUmZVmiA&list=OLAK5uy_kqSh6Vhh-JQiTIbve1H60f0s3i2pt9b2w&index=9

Karajan's powerfully broad, borderline Romantic interpretation is stunning and the Berlin Philharmonic sound absolutely gorgeous under his direction. As one of Deutsche Gramophone's earliest digital recordings, the sound is also remarkably spacious and well-detailed complimenting the performance beautifully. Got the original instrument blues?

Improvisation is the peak of artistic expression. A great pianist (or any instrumentalist, musician, even composer) will always be able to improvise and write a fantasia or an impromptu.
Furthermore it should be a requirement to improvise on a recital, an 'improvisational duel' should be a thing in classical music. Except, of course, within the boundries of classical/romantic styles.

Improvisations in Mozart's concerto recordings would add immense colors and depth, the problem seems to be close-minded NPCs.

improvisation was quite common back in those days and expected of concert pianists

when Beethoven wrote his VC he did so knowing that Franz Clement was a great improvisor and fully expected him to do so in his concert

generally speaking in modern performances i would keep the improvisation to the cadenzas but in the classical era it wasn't uncommon for it to happen outside of that and they often had entire segments of a concert dedication to improvisation

First off: Start with the Baroque period.

Generally you need to understand the forms utilized in order to have any beyond surface-level appreciation, luckily I can at least spoonfeed you four common forms you can sink your teeth into quite easily and can get you into listening Baroque music like Bach, Vivaldi and Handel

#1 Ritornello
This one is commonly found in Baroque concertos and is quite simple to follow: A melody is introduced in the beginning of the movement that keeps getting repeated, in-between each repetition you have the solo instruments playing a solo over the chord progression of the melody.
Examples:
https://youtu.be/lQLjP7x3Dug
https://youtu.be/ybwSoY5BuwY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfH3Gfkgzm8
https://youtu.be/yHSstJusbWI

2# Binary Form
The simplest one of the period, this has two sections: An A-section that repeats once, and then a B-section that repeats once (Note that the performer might also choose to not repeat the sections sometimes). That is it. It is quite simple but quite effective. You will be hearing this one a lot when listening to Baroque music. Most often found in suites (sometimes called Partitas), where all movements besides the prelude will be some type of binary form piece.
Examples:
Basically every movement in these pieces after their respective preludes

>>124395842
3# The Fugue
One of the most important of the period and one of the hardest forms to write, luckily it is not too difficult to listen to if you pay attention. The fugue has it's history in Gregorian chant, and therefore is written as if it were a vocal composition utilizing different "voices" which are slotted into each vocal voice range.

A fugue begins with an exposition, this is the most important part for you to pay attention to: A single voice will introduce the subject (i.e main melody) of the fugue, this subject will then be repeated in another voice with the previous voice providing counterpoint (Different melodies that are meant to harmonize the main melody while also standing on their own). This repeats until every voice has played the melody once. After this, it is not too dissimilar from a ritornello (at least in the case of Bach), with the main melody returning in different voices. There will also often be counter-subjects present that also return, but this depends on the fugue.
You will see the fugue almost everywhere in Baroque music (Note that most fugues are accompanied by a prelude, as noted in most titles. The prelude in the examples I give and 99% of the time is melodically disconnected from the fugue and mainly serves as a free form movement. Still, attention is warranted as they are as important as the fugue in terms of the overall expierence.)
Examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbox4oi6HjA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfnkz1cFp8g
https://youtu.be/BoXCHmLqh9k

4# Theme and Variations

You will find this one in almost all periods of classical music and therefore also the Baroque period. In it's early usage mainly used for church hymn melodies, it provides a main theme with a simple harmonization that then gets variations placed upon it based on that original theme.
Examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF-2aJY6dpo

Also don't start with symphonies. Start with listening to keyboard concertos from the baroque, then move to the piano concertos of CPE Bach, then Haydn, then Mozart. And then listen to his last 4 symphonies. Then you get the full artistic road that turned Ritornello into the sonata form we recognize it as now.
>>
>>124395842
>2# Binary Form
Quick addition to this, if a baroque dance has a "I-II" added to the end, it means it's two binary form pieces, but the B section of the second piece will generally be the A section of the first. Effectively making it ABCA

To actually answer your question: yes
To do this, just look at the notes and try to associate them with known chords. If only 3 or 4 notes seem to fit, then you can use those to define the chord and categorize the others as extensions. You may find that many chords are ambiguous, but that's OK.

just to make it simple, here's the conductor-recording for each composer

Beethoven (specifically 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9): Karajan and Szell
Brahms (1-4): Abbado, Klemperer, Jochum
Tchaikovsky (4, 5, 6): Muti, Jansons, Karajan
Rachmaninoff (2, 3 -- 1 if you really like the other two): Ashkenazy, Slatkin
Schubert (5, 8, 9): Szell, Munch, Bohm,
Schumann (2, 3, 4): Sawallisch, Bernstein
Haydn (London symphonies): Jochum -- also Klemperer's favorite symphonies set
Mendelssohn (3, 4, 5): Karajan, Dohnanyi

not necessarily the best for all but all safe, good, highly acclaimed picks that you can't go wrong with to start

How should one go about finding the best recording of a given composition?

I could just look for every recording in existence and listen to them all and try to decide which is best, but that would be very time consuming and I might not even be able to make the right choice (i.e. the kind of choice I would make if my ability to appreciate and understand classical music were deeper).

Does anyone here know of a method that beats looking up the composition on youtube and clicking whatever slop has the most views?

Asking here, reading reviews, reading surveys (compiled lists of best recordings, generally written by a music critic), favorite/reference recordings named by a music critic, and then getting familiar with conductors and ensembles and musicians which will help you develop an initial guiding filter (ie avoiding those from conductors/musician's whose style you hate, and giving priority to trying or at least looking up those from ones you click with and really like)

(examples: Mahler - https://www.musicweb-international.com/Mahler/index.html, Bruckner - https://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2005/feb05/bruckner_symphonies_pwjq.htm OR https://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2020/May/Bruckner_symphonies_revisited.pdf, or just googling "best recordings beethoven 3" and picking a reputable site, etc)

but surveys can get really in-depth and I'd only recommend them once you have some familiarity and really want to start exploring a multitude of recordings for a specific work. Do the other stuff I suggested first; also, a popular music review site is classicstoday, and at the bottom of every review, the writer for the review will list their personal 'reference recordings' for the work

example: let's say you search up 'Gustav Mahler,' 'symphony no. 5' and pull up this review - https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-14881/

at the bottom you'll see the reviewer's four favorite recordings. that reviewer actually also has a youtube video where he posts relevant information to what you're looking for but I never watch them myself, I prefer reading over watching youtube videos but you might find them handy

Don't start with Bach. I started with Bach and almost gave up on classical music altogether. Of course each experience differs, but I feel like it's a common experience. You have plenty of time to go back to Bach. Start with Romantic music, Chopin, Brahms, Wagner (overtures) etc. this is a good list for symphonies too >>124396943
Don't be overwhelmed and listen to whatever you like, not what you're "expected" to like.

Throughout his adult life, Britten had a particular rapport with children and enjoyed close friendships with several boys, particularly those in their early teens.[n 12] The first such friendship was with Piers Dunkerley, 13 years old in 1934 when Britten was aged 20. [...] Carpenter and Bridcut conclude that he held any sexual impulses under firm control and kept the relationships affectionate – including bed-sharing, kissing and nude bathing – but strictly platonic.

I like the fugues where Bach makes use of highly chromatic themes. For example, ricecar 3 or ricecar 6.
Another thing he does is write double fugues where the first subject is diatonic, and the second one is chromatic. Then he combines them. For example, BWV 887, BWV 904 and BWV 540

Fortepianos are nice. Actually most pianos before the advent of the Steinway menace are nice. There was an extremely wide palette of piano colors and tones back before the Steinway concert sound became the norm.

Erard pianos are fantastic for Brahms' piano music for example, which can sometimes sound far too dark on modern pianos.
https://youtu.be/abHLBTyWSok
And have you ever seen Janissary pedals? Some old fortepianos used to be equipped from them for extra percussive effects.

Well, I think Rite of spring is pretty crappy music. "But noone had done anything quite like this before", you say. Well, duh!?

Stravinsky made some fine music, like Petrushka and Firebird. And that's just the problem, I think. If he only made crappy music like Rite of spring, noone would ever take him seriously. But since he has proven that he can write genuine music, people tend to judge his nonsense stuff through a completely different perspective. "We know this guy can compose music. Then there must be some hidden meaning or symbolic preferences with this piece also." Perhaps he had a deadline...

The whole thing reminds me of that episode in Sweden back in the 1960's, when paintings drawn by a monkey at a zoo, were shown to some art critics. The critics (not having been told the species of the artist) were overwhelmed. "This artist is a genious", they said. And when they found out that the artist was in fact a monkey... well, I wish I could have been there to see their faces.

If you still think this is genious stuff, I would recommend reading a great book by a Danish author. It's called "The emperor's new clothes".

that monkey experiment is such bullshit. Of course the exact same work of art made by a human and a monkey is gonna have two different "weights" artistically. The critics said nothing wrong.
>>
>>124409577
if you need context to determine whether a work of art is good to begin with, your head may be too far up your ass.

although that section is obviously bait meant to imply that the rite of spring could have been written by a monkey, which it obviously couldn't have. it's a tremendously complex piece of music even if it doesn't follow the traditional standards of thematic development.

if you can't imagine music in your head, you might as well give up being a composer.
if you can, however, you don't need to listen to any kind of music since you can imagine any and all timbres at any and all pitches. therefore, there is no reason to jot musical notes down for anyone else to enjoy what you enjoy unless you're feeling really generous for no apparent reason or just want to attentionwhore.
by the process of deduction, all composers are either Buddha-like figures of benevolence or attentionwhores.

Collectors who were lucky enough to get the old Melodiya LPs from the 1950s and 1960s, and who still treasure them, will welcome their reappearance ... no other group was closer to Shostakovich's mind." - PENGUIN GUIDE TO COMPACT DISCS

>A priceless treasury of the complete string quartets of Shostakovich recorded in the early 1960s by the legendary Beethoven String Quartet, with a bonus of the Two Pieces played by the Comitas Quartet. Although Shostakovich had been acquainted with the members of the Beethoven Quartet since 1925, their professional relationship blossomed in 1938. In this year, the composer attended the Beethoven Quartet's extremely successful Moscow premiere performance of his first string quartet. Shostakovich would go on to dedicate many of his works to the Quartet as a whole or as individuals. Quartets number three and five were dedicated to the quartet, while quartets number eleven through fourteen honored specific members of the Quartet. The Beethoven String Quartet premiered all but two of the fifteen Shostakovich quartets.

I just don't understand why Furtwangler's Wagner has such abysmally terrible audio quality. I'm listening to Karajan's Falstaff from 1956, just 2 years after the final FW, and it sounds essentially modern. I know Karajan was really autistic about using the best possible recording technology, but it really does make me wonder.

Having only been to a long list of Rock and related genre live shows, do they sell merch at classical performances? Be nice to get like a T-shirt or button of the conductor, composer, and/or representation of the piece :D

One time at a Neon Trees concert in Vegas, the drummer threw one of his drumsticks into the crowd which one of my cousins caught! Be dope to see the conductor do that with their baton or string musicians with their bow :D

After having not listened to it in a while and exploring many other sets recently, mostly modern ones, Fournier's Bach Cello Suite, my old favorite, now sounds way too slow. Sad.

His Prelude on the No. 5, BWV 1011, for example, is ~7 minutes! Queryras' 2007 release, which might be my new favorite but gotta spend more time with it, is at 6:04, Queryras' 2024 release is at 5:31, and Heinrich Schiff's is at 5:07! Way too fast.

For those interested in comparing:

Fournier:

Schiff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzUZQjX8LVo&list=OLAK5uy_lbQozCiqv2d7IZ1TwGe50k_2mCJx9mfOE&index=25

Queryras' 2023 Sessions (but released in 2024):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf5yXfRe5eE&list=OLAK5uy_m1g2HAfPpniWQR8EzDDJZcflTE0jtiOp4&index=25

Interested in others' thoughts. Fournier is one of my all-time favorite cellists and I count many of his recordings of repertoire pieces as among my favorites, so it'd be sad not to eventually come back around to it, but the Queryras 2007 is just perfect. To me now, anyway.

start of Debussy: 12 Etudes, L.136
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gap9ZE_FX1Q&list=OLAK5uy_mwE-hDHydXtCQbyikox3mlG-xWMra2Rvs&index=1

>Debussy's Études are really the only set that deserves to be put beside Chopin's. What makes them so special? Like his, they are truly "practice pieces," systematically exploring various aspects of keyboard technique. But at the same time, they are poetic works of art, full of fantasy, charm, and musical invention. Uchida's recording is almost universally regarded as the finest version of these works to appear in modern times. Her playing combines effortless virtuosity with pianistic precision, keeping the music's artistic and pedagogical tendencies in a state of exquisite tension. This disc also established Uchida's claim to be recognized as one of the most interesting and talented pianists now active. You need to hear it. --David Hurwitz

I usually avoid Uchida but this seems to be the recording to have for these works so gonna give it a listen.

Pogorelich is someone I should listen to more before making a definitive statement on but so far much of what I have heard is originality for the sake of it without much benefit.

Which performances are you referring to? His 1952 Tristan and 1954 Walkure sound sonically fine to my ears. His 1950 and 1953 Rings are airchecks.

Anon, I appreciate your sincerity and fighting the good fight, but the point of the post was that the runtime for the pictured recording is outrageously long for Bruckner 9, and thus outrageously slow.

my pantheon is probably:

Brahms' German Requiem
Mahler's 8th Symphony
Dvorak's Stabat Mater
Beethoven's Missa Solemnis
Bach's Mass in B minor
Mozart's Great Mass
Berlioz's Requiem
Prokofiev's October Cantata
Haydn's The Creation

I'm probably missing something obvious, just woke up

Oh and then a lot of short stuff too, like Brahms' Nanie and Schicksalslied and similar orchestral choral pieces, his choral songs and motets, Bach's motets and canatas, etc.

Tchaikovsky Wagner

>Bayreuth has left me with unpleasant recollections, although many things happened there that were flattering to my artistic pride. It turned out that I am not at all so unknown in Germany and other foreign lands as I had thought. The unpleasant recollections have to do with the fact that there was an incredible bustle all the time. Finally, on Thursday [17 August 1876 [N.S.]] everything was over, and with the last notes of Götterdämmerung I felt as if I had been released from captivity. Perhaps the Nibelungen is a very great work, but what I do know for sure is that never before has there been anything as boring and tedious as this spun-out yarn. An accumulation of the most complicated and refined harmonies, the colourlessness of everything that is sung on the stage, endlessly long dialogues, the pitch darkness in the theatre, the absence of anything interesting and poetic in the plot — all this exhausts one's nerves to the utmost degree. So this is what Wagner's opera reform is striving after? Composers in the past sought to delight people with their music; now what they do instead is to torment and exhaust them. Of course, there are wondrous details, but everything taken together is frightfully boring!!!
