It is a massive problem when trying to attend classical concerts now. A bad mix between musicians with contempt for the canon and teachers/conductors who make sure to enforce it either way. This leads to a wonderful composition being mixed with the type of bullshit you've described, some dyke bitch that wrote some atonal fucking garbage with pointless pauses, and so on and so on. It gets to the point where there's almost no reason to attend anymore because I'm unwilling to see these cocksuckers do a rendition of Leia's Theme or whatever the fuck.

I love classical, but half the time I go to a live performance I feel underwhelmed.
Classical performance is hampered by the lack of adoption of amplification. I've paid for mid seats and I literally cannot hear anything during the quiet parts of performances. I saw Beethoven's 5th piano concerto and could barely hear the soloist because he was drowned out by the orchestra.
Instead of just hooking up the instruments to a microphone, they spent millions to renovate the concert hall so that the walls have good acoustics and it still doesn't work. Can we recognize how fucking absurd this is?
I went to see the Firebird and some fucking Russians were 20 feet away from me in an almost totally empty section and their talking was louder than the performance. One time the guy next to me had trouble breathing and his wheezing was distracting during Eroica.
I did very much enjoy Mahler's 6th Symphony, but probably just because it actually was an epic production with a huge orchestra and not many quiet parts.
I've had the same problem maybe once or twice at a Jazz concert where the sound was fucked up and I couldn't hear the soloist properly, but this seems to be a universal thing with Classical, at least at the performances in my city. Instead of being regarded as a sound engineer fuck up, it's just a given that this is the state of things.
Instead of creating stupid gimmicks like in OP, they should focus on just TURNING THE FUCKING SOUND UP. If you can't hear the performance, it is an order of magnitude too quiet

can you imagine going to music school for 4-8 years, thousands of hours practicing and refining your skills, finally get a job with a major orchestra and they're doing all this Harry Potter and movie-karaoke ("where the orchestra plays along with the movie!") slop.

Shit like that makes me feel awful for the musicians. Shit they probably could have gotten a cruise ship gig and it would've paid better w/ better food.

>>127508586
I can't remember the last time I saw an orchestra that didn't have good sound reinforcement. Not just good, but fantastic; enough so that you could hear everything but without losing any dynamic range.

where the fuck are you going to the orchestra? West Virginia or something?
>>
>>127507126
They have to resort to this because there's so little interest in classical music.

The classical music subreddit is less than half the size of the Taylor Swift subreddit. One single pop artist is more popular with Redditors than the entire genre of classical music.

Hi this is me

While I was being very very very facetious
I do identify with OPs problem; that orchestras are playing the lamest pandering shit to put bums in seats when orchestral stuff would probably benefit from not playing your favorite video game or movie theme ad nauseam. If the players enjoy this and have accepted their fate I see no problem but honestly, I wish they were pushing for something higher. I am guilty of enjoying the Gradius MSX games being orchestrated in the 1980s but this was a huge meteoric commercial boom back then and you could not be on a street corner without someone listening or hearing these songs.

Also the intro to the japanese olympics were absolutely wasted and I was fuming because I was the few among my friends who knew each one but idk, that is kinda gay ngl

What were they thinking? Why did they not choose a traditional song or something

tbf japs are known worldwide for their video games. if it were germany or russia or something and they didn't play classical that would be a shame

>>127511034
Being as high as half means definetly reddit confirmed. Taylor's at least 4 times as popular as the classical genre on here

I dont see what makes good video game music so much less valuable than classical other than the context of it being in a game. Classical was funded by nobles, osts are funded by media companies

Dont they do that so they can finance actual classical music?

Not a particular fan of those examples if I wanted to go see an orchestra.
However at the same time the classical music circlejerk is reaching its peak.
The composers and musicians that are worshipped by modern classical musicians would probably despise them and see them as well trained monkeys and not much more.

I can't imagine that you actually listen to classical because if you did you'd understand. It's just much more interesting music.

Hard disagree.
