>>127805745>>127805755Oh, so just another slomposer.
>>127805680It's interesting Barenboim re-recorded many composers' symphonic cycles, from Schumann to Brahms to Bruckner (and again!) to Elgar, yet he only did Beethoven's once. Which is fine because he nailed here with the Staatskapelle Berlin, it's just nice to see he himself feels satisfied with the result.
>>127805826it's made even more interesting because he's done Beethoven's piano sonatas four(4!) times
>>127805826Why is Barenboim so hit and miss? I don't understand how a trained professional has such irregular success.
Schubert vs Schumann?
The piano seems so easy to play compared to the violin. You don't have to worry about intonation, there are no double stops, vibrato or shifting positions, you won't hit other strings by mistake, you don't need to constantly tune it. All you have to do is just press the keys in the correct order. I feel like I could become a good pianist if I tried but I'll never become a good violinist because it's simply too fucking hard to master.
>>127807549https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HivpeO-PlnIi like this but the average person is such a dipshit they don't even appreciate good violin playing so it's not worth it for me. git gud at piano/keyboard and be a god in any genrehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4QqMKe3rwY

>>127805364I'm searching for a symphonic work about natural bodies of water: oceans, rivers, waterfalls, rains, waves. Is there anything composed about it? There's a symphony about locomotives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS6XAjd-9h8 , I refuse to believe there's nothing about water.

>>127805914He's more miss than hit. He's simply a mediocre performer that occasionally got good results, usually when he was just copying Furtwangler.

>>127807927Der fliegende Hollander and more famously Das Rheingold.
>>127808148Do not see it.>>127808341Okay, The Moldau was good. Funny story actually: we were discussing with one of my friends swimming in rivers (compared to Seas/Oceans), and I was like: Awesome, but she was like: Meh? And I remembered that I grew up on a shores of a very large river - 3 kilometers in the narrowest part, and up to 10 kilometers in broader parts. For me swimming in that was quite similar to the sea - even if you could distantly see the other shore. And she grew near some smallish river which was quite meh according to her. So what I want to say, I really relate to The Moldau even if I imagine a different river.>>127808746Der fliegende Hollander I'll listen to it!> Das Rheingold.I suppose, but for me it was always more about heroics. Gods & mortals struggle.
>>127805680Fidelio
Reminder Bach and after, before and not including Ives.
>>127805914Anyone with a distinctive style they impose on the work is gonna be hit-and-miss. Like his Schumann and Brahms and Liszt and Elgar are very much Barenboim's Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, and Elgar. This goes for his solo piano work too. You listen to his Chopin Nocturnes, his Mendelssohn Lieder ohne Worte, and his Bach Well-Tempered Clavier, and they're not only all obviously by the same pianist, but played in the same style with the same tone and vision lol.My point being, if you vibe with the style, like me, it'll be more hits than misses; if you're more the type who has a predetermined vision for certain composers, then Barenboim will be very hit-and-miss; and if you don't like his style, then he's very miss and few hits.
any random Haydn string quartet >>>> all of opera
>>127810456nice Op. 33 No. 2
>>127810456Starting to enjoy Mozart was hell and pain. I still can't listen to him all the time, I have to be in the mood, and I have strong preferance for his minor key works. But Haydn? Hell, I'll never enjoy his music, no matter how much I try. Some awful 3rd rate atonal music will probably give me more pleasure than Haydn. I honestly don't understand how people listen to his music. But I want to.
>Listen to Brahms>Literally nothing happens it's just going up and down scales and chords with crescendos and diminuendos, zero memorable moments or melodiesWow thanks for the recommendation guys /s
