>cont’d from prev thread, going to sleep>>128140785 #Yeah, they probably didn’t grow up in a setting where they listened to either no music or only music with lyrics. Both my parents are classical musicians so it was easy for me because it was in the environment. Maybe you didn’t and found classical yourself, in which case I think that’s awesome. But I’m excited to share my love of classical with others who may not have had any exposure to classical. They may fucking hate it - thats okay - but it’s harder to hate it when I accept them where they’re at while showing them what I listen to it for (and don’t play shit like Britten for them off the rip).

>>128140627Get some DT770s, those babies stay comfy for hours, their pads are something else. Used to have AKGs and had to replace my pads with second hand DT770 pads because they're by far the most comfortable headphone pads I have ever worn. The also sound great and are still closed back.
>>128140891NTA, but I know what you mean. I'm the same way. While music is not my top specialty, I'm specialized in another art form and I don't shit on those who aren't specialized in it. I think of myself as a "constructive elitist". I know I have a deeper than usual understanding of my area of specialty, but I don't get joy from ridiculing the unwashed masses. What I get joy from is guiding anyone willing and curious about my specialty. Ridiculing someone for their ignorance will only push them further away from knowledge. Why would they get into a thing if the people who love it are just elitist assholes? Think of a professor holding a lecture but mocking anyone who doesn't already know the topic.>>128141002>they sound greatNot when I've had electrostatics for a few years. To give you an idea, when I went to a live concert for the first time I was a bit let down that the sound clarity and imaging is indistinguishable from my headphones at home.
>>128140856i literally bought pic rel (unsigned) solely for price's recording of nuits d'été with fritz reiner. chicago/reiner are their usual sumptuous selves, but price is actually unable to bring the necessary nuance to her singing and it all ends up sounding kind of the same. oh well!!leontyne price is still alive btw, at 98.
I like the performance but jeez, 22 minutes? Not even going to observe the repeat in the first movement? Even Bohm and Szell did that and they almost never do for Mozart.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29jFXWP3Nww
>>128141631Why were romantics so obsessed with stripping mozart symphonies of all their repeats?
there's never been a more based practice than skipping repeats
How important are inner movements to you? Should they be briefer than the outer movements, equal length or longer?
>>128142100Arbitrary question. 'Inner movements' can be better or worse depending on the symphony. One inner movement might be better than the other, so comparing them to outer movements gets even dumber.
>>128142167>'Inner movements' can be better or worse depending on the symphony. Obviously, but there is undeniably a difference in character between inner and outer movements and I was curious what other people's attitude towards them are.

Having proven himself to belong in the company of the greats, Andsnes now gets his chance. He has a decided viewpoint on this music, stressing the lyrical elements with some gorgeous tone and phrasing, yet capturing plenty of drive and excitement when required. Jansons seems to challenge his soloist with very energetic readings of the orchestral parts: lots of tympani and broad dynamic contrasts. The collaboration works quite well, and if you don't already have half a dozen CDs with this coupling already in your collection, this one is definitely worth considering. It does have a couple of minor handicaps, though. EMI passed up the opportunity to fill the blank 20 minutes of the disc with some solo music by these composers, and the recorded sound, while well balanced, seems somewhat dull and lacking in presence. --Leslie GerberI used to listen to these pieces all the time back when I first got into classical many years ago. Haven't listened to them since. Should be fun.

>>128146088Relatively small oeuvre that hit its stride a bit late (he also spent entirely too long on Doktor Faust in a way that I think wasn't worth it; he should've used that time to write more stuff for piano solo, something like the sonatinas but on a larger scale, or even a couple of tone poems?), when other, less nuanced but more radical developments were taking place. Also, being italian kinda fucked his career if we're being honest. I think he knew that, which is why he left Italy on the first palce.

>>128149918https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WQkFNngoeUpseuds like rick beato love JS bach and basically think you're illiterate if you don't think it's the best music since sliced bread
>>128149940I don't know who that is, nor do I understand how one post follows from the other. How does Mozart and Haydn having been greatly influenced by C.P.E. and admiring him "BTFO"s these "JS bach shills"?
>>128149966the premise according to a lot of normies is that JS bach is literally the GOAT, an unrivaled genius who directly influenced all kinds of western music, but i keep finding conflicting info like haydn and mozart looking up to CBE bach instead of JS bach and most of JS bach's stuff doesn't even sound that good
*CPE
What do you think is the best concerto ever recorded? When I say "best," I mean both in terms of audio quality and performance.I don't have a particular one, but I've been listening to almost every version where Kissin is the solo pianist, specially Rachmaninoff.
>>128150013Kissin is great. And maybe this.
>>128149981>haydn and mozart looking up to CBE bach instead of JS bachand who do you think CPE Bach was influenced by?
>>128150052Sucks being poor
>>128150055that would be like giving credit to billy ray cyrus for what miley cyrus has done. CPE bach wasn't influenced by just his father.
>>128149981So, "JS bach shills BTFO" means "there is an apocryphal factoid I personally disagree with, and this unrelated anecdote that does not confirm it must surely be proving it wrong"?
>Disliking Bach is a sign of low musical intelligence. There's a reason why every major composer for the past few hundreds years has absolutely adored Bach and been deeply inspired by his work. And that reason is because the music that Bach created was simply brilliant. If you don't love the baroque style compared to later styles thats one thing. But you have to respect the ingenious of Bach's work. Disliking Bach is like disliking Shakespeare or Isaac Newton. It comes off as ignorant.>The immortal God of harmony ... Not Brook but Ocean should be his nameBeethoven>Johann Sebastian Bach has done everything completely. … He was a man through and through.Schubert>Now there is music from which a man can learn something.Mozart>Bach is like an astronomer who, with the help of ciphers, finds the most wonderful stars.Chopin>And if we look at the works of JS Bach - a benevolent god to which all musicians should offer a prayer to defend themselves against mediocrity - on each page we discover things which we thought were born only yesterday, from delightful arabesques to an overflowing of religious feeling greater than anything we have since discovered. And in his works we will search in vain for anything the least lacking in good taste.Debussy>...the greatest Christian music in the world...if life had taken hope and faith from me, this single chorus would restore all.Mendelssohn>Music owes as much to Bach as religion to its founder.Schumann>...the most stupendous miracle in all music!Wagner>Study Bach. There you will find everything.Brahms>In Bach, the vital cells of music are united as the world is in God.Mahler>Truly Bach is the Alpha of keyboard compositionBusoni
>In 2011, Anthony Tommasini, chief classical music critic of The New York Times, ranked Bach the greatest composer of all time "for his matchless combination of masterly musical engineering (as one reader put it) and profound expressivity. Since writing about Bach in the first article of this series I have been thinking more about the perception that he was considered old-fashioned in his day. Haydn was 18 when Bach died, in 1750, and Classicism was stirring. Bach was surely aware of the new trends. Yet he reacted by digging deeper into his way of doing things. In his austerely beautiful Art of Fugue, left incomplete at his death, Bach reduced complex counterpoint to its bare essentials, not even indicating the instrument (or instruments) for which these works were composed. On his own terms he could be plenty modern. ...he demonstrated visceral flair for drama in his sacred choral works, as in the crowd scenes in the Passions where people cry out with chilling vehemence for Jesus to be crucified. In keyboard works like the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, Bach anticipated the rhapsodic Romantic fervor of Liszt, even Rachmaninoff. And as I tried to show in the first video for this project, through his chorales alone Bach explored the far reaches of tonal harmony."
>Alex Ross writes, "Bach became an absolute master of his art by never ceasing to be a student of it. His most exalted sacred works --the two extant Passions, from the seventeen-twenties, and the Mass in B Minor, completed not long before his death in 1750-- are feats of synthesis, mobilizing secular devices to spiritual ends. They are rooted in archaic chants, hymns, and chorales. They honor, with consummate skill, the scholastic discipline of canon and fugue. They make expert use of the word-painting techniques of the Renaissance madrigal and Baroque opera. They absorb such stock scenes as the lament, the pastoral, the lullaby, the rage aria, the tempest. They allude to courtly French dances, Italian love songs, [and] the polonaise. Their furious development of brief motifs anticipates Beethoven, who worshipped Bach when he was young. And their most daring harmonic adventures --for example, the otherworldly modulations in the 'Confiteor' of the B-Minor Mass-- look ahead to Wagner, even to Schoenberg."

exquisite, aching beauty. There are a few moments in our otherwise dreary walk through this vale of tears when we lift our our eyes and wonder at the profound and ethereal beauty of something other...when we are reminded that there is far more to life than bills and diapers and dishes and laundry....that there is something other that lifts up the soul and speaks to that place in your heart that you forgot was there - that place in your heart that you buried in the mundanities of life, where you used to romp as a child, dreaming of fairies and unicorns and rainbows and magicians thundering and wizards striking and elves in courtly dances....It is a place that we sent to sleep for a while and got busy slowly dying....but there are moments when we are reminded of beauty. Hearing Helene Grimaud play Brahms is one of the moments where words fail and you are buried in the colors of magic and rainbows and storms and lightening - and your breath is taken away for just a moment and everything is right again.
Horowitz was the last good pianist, hasn't been, nor will there ever be a good pianist ever again.
I'm convinced people who don't listen to contemporary recordings are afraid to trust their own taste. What happens if a new recording of X piece comes out and they love it, but then everyone else calls it mediocre? By sticking with the familiar names of the greats of the older generations, they inoculate themselves from this risk.
>>128152492ok boomer
>>128152492True.
>>128152531a lot of classicalfags are like this in general, they think the old greats like bach are top tier which have hundreds of years of consensus built up and are afraid to explore modern mainstream music. also applies to other old fag stuff like shakespeare.
>>128152531This is my favourite reocrding of Bartók's violin concertos. I don't give a fuck if one of them looks like sububrban Jesus and the other like a recently divorced middle aged man trying to get back in the dating game: It's the absolute best performance/recording.

>>128152550I was talking about musicians, not composers. Don't twist my words for your own sick, misguided ends.>>128152556based, I'll check it out
>>128152550that makes no sense because most people get into classical later after already being into modern music.
>>128152575shhh leave it alone, it's having a meltdown over Bach being actually the greatest composer and doesn't know what to latch on anynore, just let it tire itself out

>>128152596>poonaaaaaaalriiiiiiiiight
>>128152531>who don't listen to contemporary recordings are afraid to trust their own taste.I do listen to contemporary recordings, they tend to be easier to find, and actually exist in most cases, and they have better sound quality after all. But it's not wrong to recognize that 19th century pianists had a completely different style and technique that does not exist anymore.
>>128152588at least the baroque counterpoint stuff is cringe, sure he has some famous pieces like air on the G string and jesu joy of man's desiring but most normal people don't listen to them on a regular basis or they play in the same context as general relaxation music.
for example bach's air on the G string has pachelbel's canon auto-suggested, and the pachelbel upload has 89 million views which demolishes air on the G string in view count, yet pretentious scholars claim bach is the greatest one and not pachelbel
>>128152620>>128152640>appeal to popularity
>>128152664it's just supplemental context because you lack basic taste and basic common sense, you can hear with your own ears that the famous bach pieces are not that special compared to plenty of other music, my roastie primary school teacher would play enya - only time and bach - air on the G string i think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xDk9EF_M_0this is hype to hear if you have nostalgia for it from your childhood, but it's not something you would listen to all the time, same with bach, most normal people don't listen to bach over and over again to the extent of overshadowing all other music
>>128152676No one here loves Bach because of couple of his popular tunes.
I don't like Bach, I'm just obsessed with his Well-Tempered Clavier, Goldberg Variations, Art of Fugue, Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, Cello Suites, and Mass in B minor. But I don't like Bach.
>>128152749then you're left with the ultra dweeb harpsichord fugue type stuff that appeals to some niche scholars who wouldn't survive without government funding who have their subjective interpretations (meaning bad taste because they couldn't compose their own music to save their lives so they really have no taste better than some random schmuck) of what qualifies as the greatest composer of all time
>>128152781It's like all your posts are made with schizoMisanthropeAI, it's really quite something
>>128152809you're like any /mu/ tard who listens to charli xcx or whatever the fuck, there's no objective challenge to what you're doing (just listening), so you can make up your mind that bach is good because he does a baroque counterpoint which was considered boomer tier even in his time so other composers weren't even interested in copying it, you're not tasked with becoming a composer yourself so you don't have the perspective of trying to learn from bach but seeing mostly cringe archaic compositions, you can just say that he's the greatest composer of all time while not having much of a good argument for it other than parroting other people's opinions
>>128152849Love it, you're very talented, pure vitriol poetically oozes from your every word.
>>128146088It's just not that good. That's the simple answer.
>>128146227fuck italians and the spanish
Scriabi :3
Scriabin's fifth piano sonata is too powerful for me to listen more than once a year.
>>128153859Why do I find it much less exciting that 4, 7 and pretty much all other sonatas?
>>128152849I'm not going to reply with a Rick and Morty copypasta but trust me when I say most composers and musicians are high on copium when they say they can compose counterpoint like Bach but choose not to.

I get that. Well, I quite like Brendel most of the time, so it's fine by me.

>>128154497he's "cerebral" because he looks like pic rel. music criticism is mostly about reputations and prejudice. it would be interesting if all critics would listen "blindfolded" and we'd see if their bias labels, like cerebral, would come in handy and hold any meaning whatsoever
>>128150055Dunno, Vivaldi?
>>128153989That's true, because Bach was obsessed with counterpoint. Reger and Shostakovich are in the same league however. Same applies to for example Beethoven's or Haydn's forms, Chopin's or Schubert's melody or Mahler's and Ravel's orchestrations etc. in which they are unparalleled.Different personalities excel in different areas. But they all understood everything to a necessary degree. A sane man can't fault Schubert's orchestration, Chopin's form or Mahler's counterpoint either.
holy kekwannabe music producers insist that they can do it all on a laptop but that's getting harder and harder to pull off successfully these days. it's mostly just a cope for autistic retards who think it's too difficult to get off their ass and set up some hardware instead of just sitting there with a mouse and keyboard. a lot of musical instruments, studio equipment, guitar pedals etc are still best done in hardware.

>>128155130>t. can't distinguish between superficial and genuine emulation of Bachian counterpoint.
>>128155130You certainly couldn’t write in a Baroque style people don’t like that anymore
I like Bach because his music sounds pretty good to me. That's all.
>>128155154apparently he's only pretending to be retarded.
>Particularly striking examples of such judgements were produced by noted Bach biographers Philipp Spitta and Albert Schweitzer, who criticized Telemann's cantatas and then praised works they thought were composed by Bach, but which were actually composed by Telemann.
>>128155164imagine having your head this far up your ass that you can't see how it's relatively niche to like bach's baroque counterpoint, he's a big name for sure along with mozart and beethoven (but anons like to include composers like mahler and schubert which aren't really mainstream at all) but he has few normie-friendly hits along the lines of beethoven's fur elise, the bulk of his works are schizo church or strictly educational music, he wasn't an international star like handel was and he admired handel and wanted to meet him

>>128155014Critics talk in those terms all the time... shit like:>While X’s discretionary vibrato and leaner though still gorgeously modulated sonority are further indicative of period-performance practices, the latter’s mannerisms (short-breathed phrasing, sudden dynamic swells, threadbare tone, and compulsive ornamentation) play no part in X’s conceptions.just isn't interesting to me, and I feel doesn't really get anything across except to other musical experts anyway. I care much more about what happens, not how. The techniques are merely a means to the ends. Cerebral and classicist, if that's what it is, are the ends.

The symphonies, some of the piano works(1st and 2nd sonata plus the barcarolles), and the concertos are so sweet and melodic, almost feels like a dream and fantasy world.
