Scriabi's Diner
Scriabin's Piano Concerto is so good, why is it so underrated?
>>128133716Because it ain't good.
>>128133746well i like it
>>128133753No you don't.
>>128133767really? i thought i did, what do i like?
>>128133407Need some recs anon, on two fronts:>general recsI love Baroque music, especially Vivaldi (literally everything he ever did), Bach (The Art of Fugue is great), Handel (Op. 6 especially) and recently Telemann and Monteverdi. Any other hidden treasure composers I should check out or even other periods?>operaI like some of Bach's oratorios and I'm listening to (and loving) Monteverdi's madrigals so I didn't think opera would be that difficult to get into but it just will not click for me. Dido and Aeneas did nothing for me so I'm not sure where else to go.

>>128133792>>128133809no one cares>>128133716It's pretty much eclipsed by what he did afterwards, kind of like his first symphony. It's still an excellent concerto. Certainly better than any of Rachmaninoff's for exmaple
>>128133815i like Scriabin's later stuff too especially Op. 54 & Op. 60 and also Rachmaninov's Concertos (his Concerto No.3 is my favorite piano concerto), i always skipped Scriabin's concerto because it was an earlier work, but that was a mistake.

Scriabin vs Rachmaninovwho would win in a boxing match?
>>128134243Rach has reach and probably hits harder but Scriabin is impervious to pain and also insane so my money's on him
>>128134243Rachmaninoff was 6'6
>>128134264Tall people don't have an inherent advantage in boxing. You'd know this if you weren't an effeminate shut-in

>>128134723>>128134764Relax, "Mozart is underrated" is both valid and a meme. Valid because most people on the internet view Mozart in a "he's good but..." aka recognizing his talent and value, but not holding the same personal love as they do for other composers. So it's become a bit of a (true) meme to say Mozart is underrated. Anyway, chill.
>>128134792Further proof that Mozart is underrated
>>128134800>aka recognizing his talent and value, but not holding the same personal love as they do for other composers.>aka recognizing his talent and valueThat is, by the very fucking definition, NOT underrated. So it is both invalid and a shit meme. kys.
>>128134829Further proof that Mozart is underrated
>>128134829I should say, recognizing some of his value in a dispassionate, half-hearted way. Like "yeah, yeah, he's one of the greats, but I don't actually listen to him, so in my heart I don't think he's that good anymore." Anyway stop taking it so seriously.
>>128134856>recognizing some of his value in a dispassionate, half-hearted way.No. It is simply recognizing his value, you don't need to twist your own words now. Mozart is anything but underrated.

Davidsbündlertänze (Dances of the League of David) was written after Schumann's engagement to Clara Wieck, to whom he wrote, 'If I have ever been happy at the piano, it was when I was composing these.' Papillons (Butterflies) is the work of a youthful, unfettered imagination, and Carnaval is one of his most popular pieces, a display of both technique and emotion. Boris Giltburg, who took first prize at the 2013 Queen Elisabeth Competition, is one of today's most exciting young pianists, lauded for his 'massive and engulfing technique, supporting interpretations that glow with warmth and poetic commitment' (Gramophone).
>>128134906underrated means "rated lower than its true value" generally, people think Mozart is boring (even among those that listen to classical) and only respect him because they know he was influential. but in reality he is the greatest composer of all times, so yes he is literally underrated.

Do you realize how severely underrated Mozart is? People vastly overestimate his genius by just oversimplifying how good he was, and basically implying that he was some sort of cosmic force of compositional brilliance. That obviously isn't true. But a lot of times people don't understand, or don't catch, how subtle his brilliance actually is. He did absolutely brilliant work while still operating within the tasteful restraint that characterized the classical period, and broke a shit ton of ground. Mozart seemed to be literally operating at a level beyond any composer in Turks of raw genius in composition. People vastly under rate Mozart sometimes because it's "cool" to like what is less popular. Mozart was literally head and shoulders more of a genius that Chopin, Beethoven, Haydn etc. It's almost incomprehensible that he was able to compose in the manner he did relative to what had come before him especially. He stands in a class of his own as easily the greatest musical genius of all time without it being remotely close. Mozart is underrated simply because it is impossible to conceive of a rating that would do him justice.

Was Wagner demonic?>Yet a further feature was drawn to our attention, which was not just characteristic of this final period of his life. It was not possible to keep anything hidden from him; he always knew everything. When Mrs Wagner wanted to give him a surprise of any sort, it would turn out that he had dreamt about it the previous night and told her in the morning. This ability to see through people often appeared demonic, particularly with strangers: his penetrating gaze would enable him to discern a person's foibles at a glance and it often happened that, even though he had no wish to offend a person, he nevertheless touched on the sorest points.

She's primarily known for her Bach but she's actually recorded quite a diverse chunk of the repertoire; Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel, Schumann, Liszt, Chopin, Couperin, Scarlatti, and more.starting with her newest Mozart releasehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU12io01Gwo&list=OLAK5uy_m27j5lZUQm8mWQYygEa34KSCIscCrlPDQ&index=1

>>128136507no>Richard earnestly reproached Malwida von Meysenbug for not having her ward baptised. This was not right, he said, not everyone could fashion his religion for himself, and particularly in childhood one must have a feeling of cohesion. Nor should one be left to choose: rather it should be possible to say, You have been christened, you belong through baptism to Christ, now unite yourself once more with him through Holy Communion. Christening and Communion are indispensable, he said. No amount of knowledge can ever approach the effect of the latter. People who evade religion have a terrible shallowness, and are unable to feel anything in a religious spirit.Cosima's Diary entry for 12 December 1873

>Hewitt’s later recording has a wonderful sense of deliberative unfolding and features a masterly use of colour in consort with keen structural and rhythmic awareness; no listener would ever regard it as other than a supreme achievement. Yet could it be that the passage of a decade has made the pianist think the approach is slightly too modest or compromising? Like Hewitt's performance of the Goldberg Variations here last March (review), this new reading of Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier seemed more dramatic and spontaneous, with even greater extremes of tempos and rhythmic emphasis and, to some extent, a greater reaching to the celestial heavens. It seemed like a fuller and more direct statement of what the pianist really wanted to say, and an ultimate flowering of the possibilities for contrast and dramatic expression in the pieces. In lesser hands, the increased intensity and range might easily be seen as mannered and too romantic; here it was presented with such intellectual absorption and discipline that it all made perfect sense. In fact, it seemed that an already strong narrative line was further nourished. Hewitt’s secret lay in referring to extremes very consistently throughout the work, so one always had the idea that they were integral to the penetration of the deepest secrets of these 24 supreme pieces.goddamn who writes this stuff? you could change the nouns and it could be about anything. if I were Hewitt, though, it'd sure make me happy to read, which I suppose is the point, but goddamn, writer's in love>>128137271who's that

For tonight's performance of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, we listen to Vladimir Feltsman's set:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pcFpfauV_o&list=OLAK5uy_nitfSx11v6oM0k8_BJ6SyPjEU7p6Q7mkk&index=44A set which occupies an interpretive and sonic middleground. Probably not a set for anyone to love, but certainly for everyone to enjoy.

Damn, so few recordings of these works by Pãrthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODbqEKKJSBYProbably because they are less popular works but even so... I'd imagine he was popular enough, a shame
>>128137407>I'd imagine he was popular enoughhe *is* pop, yeah>>>/mu/
Bartok essential works?
Scriabin's Le Poeme De L'Extase best recording?
>>128138222Essential? His string quartets, piano concertos, Concerto for Orchestra, and Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta. Then there's a lower tier with his violin concertos, violin sonatas, The Miraculous Mandarin, and The Wooden Prince. Some people would say his solo piano music but I'm not convinced. Oh and if you like opera, Bluebeard's Castle. Enjoy :)
