"[Handel] is the only person I would wish to see before I die, and the only person I would wish to be, were I not Bach." - J. S. Bach

And when Mozart heard this:

"Truly, I would say the same myself if I were permitted to put in a word"

"Handel understands effect better than any of us -- when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt... though he often saunters, in the manner of his time, this is always something there." - Mozart

Upon hearing the 'Hallelujah Chorus' from Messiah, Joseph Haydn is said to have "wept like a child" and exclaimed: "He is the master of us all."

"Handel is the greatest composer that ever lived... I would uncover my head and kneel down on his tomb." - Beethoven

Beethoven, when asked to name the greatest composer ever, he is said to have responded: "Handel, to him I bow the knee."

In 1819, Beethoven told Archduke Rudolph: "not to forget Handel's works, as they always offer the best nourishment for your ripe musical mind, and will at the same time lead to admiration for this great man."

"Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers; from him I can still learn." - Beethoven on his deathbed

idk, works for me. Has to be one of the more sedate recordings of it though (eg Barenboim, Hewitt, Lisiecki, Hough).

I agree his Preludes and Etudes are not good for sleep. His piano concertos I haven't tried sleeping to in years.

Organfags are the type of people obsessed with timbre rather than the content, clarity and quality of the music. Reminds you of popfags, doesn't it? I bet you wouldn't even be able to hum most of the inner voices from organ recordings. It's that incomprehensible. Drop the act, every other option is better: solo piano, piano 4 hands, orchestra, quartet/chamber arrangements.

i'm not a HIPfag but no one in their right mind thinks Bach sounds better on Piano, when you listen to Baroque Keyboard works on piano they don't sound right and you can tell they weren't meant to be played on that instrument.

Piano is an awful instrument for Baroque works where clarity and separation of voices are crucial, which is why Harpsichord and Organ are superior.

No? Anon asked for large-scale choral works, so I gave him that. Telemann wrote a bunch of orchestral and chamber instrumental music. Hundreds of overtures, concertos and trio sonatas. He has a few encyclopedic collections that are spectacular:
>Tafelmusik
>Paris Quartets
>Essercizii musici
He masterfully combined German, French, Italian, and even Polish folk influences into a universal language that's as comprehensive and varied as Bach's. It's just not as metaphysical and heavy, it's lighter and more human in character, but no less brilliant. Tafelmusik is literally one of the greatest instrumental sets of the Baroque.
>>
>>127994001
Oh, and he was especially unrivalled in his imaginative use of winds. No other Baroque composer comes close to his combinations of flutes, oboes, bassoons and other colors. He's literally the peak of Baroque wind writing.

Bach would have been an accordionist if he live today

https://youtu.be/B44zKShiXvQ

You can't tell me he wouldn't have thrown his clavichord into the trash once he heard this
>>
>An eminent pianist colleague of mine recently reprimanded me [Andras Schiff] for my “abstinence”. His argument was that all the great pianists of the past have played Bach with lots of pedal and we must follow their example. To me this reasoning is not very convincing. The late George Malcolm, a great musician, best known as a harpsichordist, taught me to play Bach without pedal and to enjoy the delights of purity.

>Once a successful young virtuoso pianist came to him asking if he could play for him Bach’s D-major toccata. Malcolm agreed, the young man took his place at the keyboard, put his right foot on the pedal, raised his arms, and here Malcolm suddenly exclaimed:”Stop!”. “But I haven’t played a note yet!” said the victim. “No, but you were just about going to.”

Never got why the accordion didn't really catch on in classical music. A portable organ that you can take anywhere seems like a nobrainer for hundreds of different applications. The fact that it didn't even replace the chest organ for churches is ridiculous to me. Sure, it took until the 1890s before free bass systems were a thing, but even stradella + the keyboard would be fine for plenty of homophonic music
>>
>>127994912
because even in its heyday it sounded goofy
>>
>>127994915
I never really got why people think they sound goofy. Maybe the stereotypical tremolo-heavy sound that people associate with it, but the performance the guy posted sounds perfectly fine. I mean, they are literally just portable reed organs which have stops you can adjust

>>127994877
this Malcolm guy sounds pretty based
>>
>>127994867
This is better than organ because it's less muddy, but worse than clavichord, let alone a piano. Clavichord offers dynamics as well as vibrato. Piano is the ultimate instrument and greatest solo instrument for any kind of music. Bach's fortepiano just was in its early stages. He would only compose for the piano (among keyboard instruments), much like Chopin.

Finally made my way through Mahler 1, years after trying it once and not "getting" it. Loving it now, especially the 3rd and 4th movements. I love the unabashed, unrestrained, stormy emotionality of the 4th movement, what else like this do I listen to? Tchaikovsky's late symphonies, I suppose?
>>
>>127995535
Idk, I'm not a huge fan of 1st, but I'm listening to Dausgaard's Mahler 10th.
>>
Daily reminder that Telemann is criminally underrated.
>>
>>127995535
You heard Mahler's other works? I always thought his 4th was actually a good entry point. It's the most musically conservative, following pretty standard symphonic structure both overall and in terms of individual movements (I think the opening movement of Mahler 4 was the only sonata-allegro movement he wrote that did a traditional modulation to the dominant, but don't quote me on that one) and one of his briefer symphonies. I'd definitely recommend that one, it's generally one of my favorites by him.

>what else like this do I listen to?
Depends what you're already heard, though there's nothing else quite like Mahler in the same sense there's nothing else quite like Bruckner, so really whatever late romanticism and early modernism you're interested in trying would be your best bet. Maybe Strauss' Alpine Symphony and various tone poems (eg. Ein Heldenleben, Zarathustra, Death and Transfiguration, Metamorphosen, etc), maybe some Langgaard, Atterberg, Franck's Symphony, Rangstrom's symphonies, Peterson-Burger's symphonies, maybe Sibelius 2 and 4-7.

>Tchaikovsky's late symphonies, I suppose?
Always, plus his Manfred Symphony and violin concerto and piano concertos.
>>
>>127995535

I think his one with Dresden is suberb, in the top 10 8ths I've ever heard. The one with Vienna, and really the entire cycle, is just kinda bland, and seems to rely heavily on the luscious sonority of the orchestra to carry it. But every so often I like to revisit it, see if there's something more there that I may have missed, some more interpretive depth in any of the performances.

So? Most of performers are.

>Limited Connection, No Direct Influence
Same Birth Year: Both were born in Germany in 1685, but their careers took them in different directions, with Handel becoming an international celebrity in London while Bach worked in smaller German towns.
Never Met: Despite being geographically close in their youth and being "kin-spirit[s]" (5), they never met. Bach reportedly made attempts to visit and meet Handel, but these efforts were unsuccessful.
Bach's Admiration: Bach had a deep respect for Handel and his music, going so far as to copy some of it, which suggests an influence on Bach's appreciation and understanding of Handel's work.
>Key Differences in Musical Style and Career
Handel's Focus: Handel was a theatrical composer who focused on writing operas and oratorios for public acclaim.
Bach's Focus: Bach was primarily a church musician who composed and directed church music for the Thomasschule in Leipzig. His music was often seen as more "old-fashioned" and "learned" by the public in his day.

Really depends on the work and what you specifically mean. In terms of individual movements: When a composer utilizes a traditional sonata-allegro structure, I can pretty easily follow what is happening thematically. When it gets to more expansive music with less strict formal boundaries, it requires about 2-3 listens before I fully comprehend it.

If we're talking about thematic relations between movements in pieces which have more cyclic elements, I don't often hear it. I tend to treat each movement as a separate musical thought whether the composer intends it or not.

That's what I always wonder about. I'm aware of the technical jargon (sonata form, development, modulation, recapitulation, etc.), but I don't actually *know* what most of it means, and I wonder whether I'm constantly drinking it in and enjoying it subconsciously. Maybe that's the beauty of classical music, that there's this tremendously complicated machinery working in the background, yet the listener can enjoy its fruits without training his ear to hear it

You can enjoy it subconsciously of course, and most people do. But it's also nice to know what's going and how the music is structured for various reasons. For example, it might help you understand and enjoy a piece faster. Surely you've struggled to understand pieces without repeated listening? There are usually analysis on youtube with timestamps for popular pieces, so you can mentally separate themes and sections, which will make everything digestable.
But there's also the fact that it might make music more engaging and interesting. Depending on your intellectual curiosity. It might help you notice more patterns and subtle details. It's also possible to do all that without understanding the formalities, to some degree.
Conclusion is that it's up to you. Life is too short if you're not curious enough.

>In Paris in 1858, Wagner listened to Berlioz reading the libretto of Les Troyens with a mounting anxiety, so that "I really found myself wishing that I might never see him again since, in the end, to be so utterly unable to help a friend can only become unbearably painful. The text is clearly the pinnacle of his misfortune, which nothing now can surpass."

>Six years earlier, in a letter to Liszt (Wagner considered Berlioz, Liszt and himself the three most important composers of the day), he had written: "If ever a musician needed a poet, it is Berlioz, and it is his misfortune that he always adapts his poet to his own musical whim, arranging now Shakespeare, now Goethe, to suit his own purpose. He needs a poet to fill him through and through, a poet who is driven by ecstasy to violate him, and who is to him what man is to woman." But the poet Wagner had in mind for this job of violating Berlioz was Wagner himself. He thought that Berlioz ought to set the story of Wieland the Smith, a German legend of which he, Wagner, had written the prose outline.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEWd5JlSAhw&list=OLAK5uy_kmQ5tchhUnSCEJIWUoAtuzNFsfClOM2pQ&index=15

>Star pianist Daniil Trifonov burst on to the international scene winning the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011. With this album, Trifonov returns to the music of Tchaikovsky in a beautiful selection of solo works evoking youth and family. The selected pieces include the rarely performed Sonata Op.80, the Children's Album, the Variations Op.19/6 and Pletnev's Concert Suite from Sleeping Beauty. They reflect Tchaikovsky at his most effervescent and intimate and contain some of Trifonov's most electrifying playing to date.

>Goodyear is a master pianist... Each sonata exists in its own world and each is approached as its own entity. Never was there a feeling of sameness about the playing, and never did I feel that the artist was giving less than his best... Stewart Goodyear may come closest yet in performing these sonatas the way I believe the master himself might have done them... this entire set [is] among the foremost to be had... I'll go with Goodyear as first choice.

Becker --American Record Guide

>He's got blistering technique along with soulful insight and makes this music sound as though you're hearing it for the first time. This is essential listening for anyone looking to discover Beethoven all over again.

Denise Ball, --CBC Music

>This is the best recording of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas I've ever heard, but let's not stop there; I can't think of any performance or recording of any of these 32 sonatas that I prefer to Goodyear's interpretation.

>If you already own a recording of all 32 and don't have room for another, consider selling it and buying this one. If you have room for another, buy this one. If you don't have one already, buy this one.

Nice warm, pianistic sound. After this one I might truly be out of new ones to try, so I can just enjoy the ones I love.

so you're someone who focuses on the words used and not the point of the post, also telling people to kill themselves over using a word you don't even know the meaning of is evil, you are a horrible person.
>>
>>128002278
i get it, you probably think sex is deep or you collect funko pops, so in your head you think "oh he's just a /pol/ chud, he used le chud word" in an attempt to dismiss my valid points, you do this because you can’t actually counter my arguments. But let me be clear: I’ve never used that board, and Nazism is also extremely degenerate.
>>
>>128002432
I mean sex *is* deep if it's someone you're in love with, or at least have a deep, genuine emotional connection with. But yes, one-night stands and related casual sex are tantamount to superior masturbation.
>>
>>128002447
yeah that's what i meant
>>
>>128002447
it's deep when i'm a whopping 9" inside you're little bussy
>>
i really shouldn't be surprised that some people here are virgins to such an extent that they cope that sex is actually shit and they didn't even want it anyway
>>
>>128002603
that's not the point, i have had sex and i can attest to it not being that great, it's just your biology telling you it's great, when you think about it logically, yeah the feeling is good, but i'd much rather shoot up some dope then have an orgasm anyday, god i miss heroin.

Decent but bland.

After listening to a ton of WTC sets lately, both well-known and obscure, it only reinforces something I've noticed with classical recordings: outside of maybe one or two gems at most, the best recordings always rise to the top. For the WTC, all of the recordings which are famous achieved that stature for a reason, and if a recording is languishing in obscurity, it's almost certainly not an issue of marketing but distinguished quality.

I guess that means it's time to listen to Richter, Koroliov, Hewitt, Crochet, Aldwell, Nikoleyeva, and Ugorskaja for the rest of my life, no others needed.

I don't care for it but I see the appeal. Same with Schiff's. If I had to pick an iffy popular one, it'd be Keith Jarrett's, and even then I can recognize people must like his jazz foundation.

thoughts on Tchaikovsky's 2nd Piano Concerto?

>>128003361
:p

Hey, for me, I just want the WTC pieces to sound first and foremost poetic and beautiful (and secondarily emotionally expressive), hence my favorites. Some people want to jackoff over the counterpoint and want clarity, hence Schiff. Some people want experimentation and formal creativity, hence Gould and Gulda. It's not for me but like I said, I get it.
>>
>>128003371
The better composed of the two, but lacks a big fat choon

They should listen to modernists then, and leave tradition to be traditional. You can even do both, it's possible. I sure as fuck do.

idk maybe I'm just so used to slower tempo cycles but I can't help but hear the playing as incessantly rushed, almost overly aggressive. No one else? Maybe I'll acclimate to it.

>>
>>128003606
Not the guy you're replying to, but I remember a few years back trying to get people here to pay more attention to it, and Busoni in general. I think it's one of the greatest piano concertos of the 20th century, if indeed we can call it a concerto. It's more of a choral symphony with piano obbligato than a concerto. Anyway, excellent piece of early modernism.
>>
>>128003596
I appreciate the effort, and you've got a well-rounded, diverse list of favorites, but I feel like there just aren't enough first-rate concerti to make a list like this worth doing, for we'll ultimately all converge around the same handful of works, with the only variance being which few great ones get excluded from any given list in that instance. That's my view, anyway.

That said, more love for Prokofiev's Symphony-Concerto, Op. 125!!
>>
>>128003596
Really, no Mozart or Beethoven, or just avoiding the obvious?
>>
>>128003750
Considering there are only four instruments represented on that list, two bowed and two keyed, I think there's plenty first-rate works that could be brought up that wouldn't have us all converge around the same works. I mean >>128003596 could've included at least one clarinet concert, for example.
>>
>>128003765
True, if someone had Nielsen or Weber's or Copland's Clarinet Concerto in their favorites I'd be kinda impressed. But we all know there's only one worth listing, hence the issue.

What's your favorite? Spohr? Finzi? Carter!?
>>
>>128003891
Clarinet? I'm very fond of Weber's, which might be part of the "same handful of works", but I'm also greatly fond of one you mentioned, Nielsen's, and Hindemith's. I think they're on par with Weber's, radically different as they are. There's also something, indeed a lot, to be said about Eybler's, which is in my opinion just as good as Mozart's
>>
>>128004028
Honourable mention goes to Reicha, probably the greatest writer for winds of the late classical/early romantic period
