Liking Beethoven is a sign of low musical intelligence.There's a reason why every FIRETRUCK composer for the past two hundred years has absolutely adored Beethoven and been deeply inspired by his work. And that reason is because the music that Beethoven created always seems full of forward momentum and rhythmic bluster, and always seems to be trying to be an advocate for some sort of emotional conflict or triumph. It seems very dramatic and self-absorbed.If you Iove the romantic style compared to other styles thats one thing. But you have to loathe the lack of sublety of Beethoven's work.Liking Beethoven is like liking young adult novels or reality shows. It comes off as ignorant.
>>129267337unapologetically true. baroque and romantic periods were less mechanic and much better.

These recordings serve as a unique document of the Orchestra's music-making, having been made only days before the coronavirus pandemic forced the temporary shuttering of Severance Hall. Schubert's majestic "Great" C Major Symphony dates from 1825 and was premiered by Felix Mendelssohn in 1839. Kr?enek's suite Static and Ecstatic is music of contrast and extremes, juxtaposing moments of strictly serial music with freely composed material.

>>129268731Ah yes, Beethoven, Bach, Haydn, Brahms and a bunch of teenage cringe garbage.
>>129269144>a bunch of teenage cringe garbage.In what universe is Buxtehude "teenage cringe garbage"? You haven't even listened to the composers, have no real opinions of your own, and are not of a proper human quality.
>>129268731The Durufle is interesting. I love his Requiem and his motets but what else does he have? And I still maintain Alkan and Medtner aren't really top composer quality but we all have our personal favorites. Solid overall.
>>129268364take this random bitch for exampleshe's a bit old but she could get it because her skin is pale and softtanning is a boomerish aesthetic
>>129269374Pretty much everything Durufle actually published is worth listening to (and really it takes very little time to listen to it all), but I consider the Alain Fugue to be of the highest quality.https://youtu.be/FJpG1Qyv6e8?t=396The Suite, Cum jubilo, Scherzo, and miniature Meditation are other all-stars besides what you mentioned. Actually Meditation is probably my favorite short piece of all time. I suppose the main criticism is that he doesn't have many works, but I appreciate what is there very much so. His contemplative style is very rare outside of the renaissance from what I've listened to in my period with classical, I suppose there are some like Messiaen, but he is hard to listen to.>I still maintain Alkan and Medtner aren't really top composer qualityThere have been no other better pianist composers since Beethoven; maybe you can dislike Alkan's rather... unique personality, but his compositions are superior - Liszt wrote transcriptions of symphonys, Alkan actually wrote a symphony, enough said. And who really has an equal catalog with Medtner? Chopin with his inability to write long form, and poor counterpoint? Liszt with his programmatic slop and harmony gimmicks? Pure laughs. Godowsky would make my list as well if he composed more, his Sonata and Passacaglia are insanity.
>>129267847Someone say Mozart?https://youtu.be/-JIjvKIka34I will ask now that the topic is brought up, why does Mozart not at all have the same type of cult that Bach has?
>>129269927Bach is the old man church teacher and mozart is the degenerate rockstar
>>129269927>why does Mozart not at all have the same type of cult that Bach has?Because Haydn was the real king of Classical era and Mozart is the showoff kid popularized by movies and his operas.
>>129269941I mean haydn doesnt have a cult either. And while I know this is a shitpost, cmon.
>>129269954Haydn's cult is limited to only the highest of classical listeners. The father of the symphony, the father of the quartet, and the father of the sonata (its true). His reach is so ubiquitous and omnipresent that there can be no denying his place as the summit of his era, if not of all eras. Yet it is very domination of the musical landscape that prevents a traditionally loud "cult" from appearing, as cults usually serve as outsider perceptive, while Haydn's influence is unending wherever you look.
>>129269927Mozart was perhaps the most ambitious composer in the history of music. He produced at least one, and generally several imposing masterpieces in almost every genre of music— concerto, song, opera (serious and comic, German and Italian), string trio, string quartet, string quintet, quintet for piano and winds, trio and quartet for piano and strings, quintet for wind instrument and strings, divertimento for wind octet, double concerto for violin and viola, symphony,piano sonata, violin sonata. Although he left no completed major work of religious music, his two fragments—the C Minor Mass and the requiem— are monumental even in their unfinished state. In comparison, Haydn’s major successes were largely restricted to the two genres of symphony and string quartet; only when he was much older than Mozart ever became did he create his most impressive piano sonatas, piano trios, and the important vocal works with the late masses and the two oratorios. And only after Mozart’s Prague symphony had surpassed in size and weight any of Haydn’s orchestral works, setting an example, did he expand his symphonic style.
>>129267310too much pathos
>>129270124The only reason Mozart wrote a decent quartet or symphony is because Haydn showed him how its done, and Mozart had to dedicate his quartet attempts to Haydn out of acknowledgment of that obvious reality. Mozart was among the most ambitious slop merchants, in which he published for everything no matter the quality, such as his piano sonatas. During the time of classical's dominance in our societies, Haydn was considered the greater. As is obvious to anyone with any sense beyond hollywood movies.
For today's opera performance, we listen to Mozart's Don Giovanni conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini.opening overturehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsoLlmxppgo&list=OLAK5uy_m2j087RZhk00cYd4lH4hCwunjLx0Mvx04&index=2random vocal movementhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvYH9hwAo_s&list=OLAK5uy_m2j087RZhk00cYd4lH4hCwunjLx0Mvx04&index=37>This is, in the opinion of many critics, the best recording of the greatest of all operas. The cast is a who's who of great singers from the early stereo era (1959) when the recording was made. At the top of the cast, the young Joan Sutherland, whose fresh, agile voice, opulent in tone even at the top of its range, had recently hit the international operatic scene like an earthquake. In the title role, Eberhard Waechter portrays a man obsessed with sex as a game that he must win at any cost--and keeps on losing. Giuiseppe Taddei brings depth and ingenuity to the comic role of the valet Leporello; Luigi Alva treats two of the greatest tenor arias ever written in limpid bel canto style; Carlo Maria Giulini leads a great orchestra with a superb, synergistic balance of musical and dramatic values. --Joe McLellan

best Bruckner 5?
>>129271826Karajan of course
>>129271561>HaydnThird-rate composer. I'm sorry, but it's just true. That doesn't mean he's bad, but he's nowhere near the first tier, consisting of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, inferior to the likes of Chopin, Schubert, Handel, Mahler, Verdi, Wagner, and Brahms, and he should ranked alongside the likes of Debussy, Vivaldi, Ravel, Sibelius, Dvorak.So much of what he wrote is, at best, a less cultivated, less polished version of Mozarts output. In his vast, vast output, its very difficult to find things that compare well with that of Mozart, and it is in many ways like comparing Bachs works to that of his best contemporaries, like Telemann, Scarlatti, and Handel, but that actually makes Mozart look better, for while there are numerous beauties, perhaps of an inferior kind, found in the works of Bach's contemporaries compared with that of Bach, (especially valuable and unique are the sonatas of Scarlatti, which are excellent, yet totally different in character from the keyboard works of Bach), very little valuable is found in Haydn not found in Mozart. Exceptions I would say are the sonatas, (which some pianists have, I think rather tastelessly, esteemed higher than those of Mozart), and a handful of movements scattered among his London symphonies (though you might as well listen to them all). I would also recommend the entirety of Symphony No. 97 in C major, which is in a style very unique and really captures a playfulness and provincial quality that is simply not found in Mozart, yet is quite musically solid.I cant recommend for or against his string quartets, having little appreciation for them, but I have little to no taste for chamber music. As for his applauded two oratorios, I cant recommend them either, and while I have little taste for choral works as well, I know what I like, and compared to the best masses of Mozart, Bachs Mass in B minor, and Beethovens masses (which I think are fair comparisons), I do think Haydns best efforts compare well.

How do I find what works from a composer to listen to when a lot of them have hundreds of compositions? Ive mostly been going off spotify and lastfm, surely there is a better way
>>1292754201. Check out the FAQ in the OP (RECOMMENDED WORKS LIST - TALKCLASSICAL)2. Watch Hurwitz 10 beginner piece videos (by genre or composer)3. See what people are discussing, both here and other places(talkclassical, youtube, whatever), ask questions about which specific composer/period/genre you're interested in, you might get recs4.Listen to albums, as they often contain multiple composers/styles by a single performer, from there you will discover new styles and composers5. Try to look up specific pieces you already like, read something about them (for example, on wikipedia), it might lead you to other piecesMost importantly, don't feel overwhelmed, we all did at first, but for no good reasons.
>>129275420Listen to what interests you, a lot of the great composers are great because of their versatility in various styles. Mozart being an especially good example. Obviously you should listen to the essentials eventually. But I think enjoying the music is a pretty important prerequisite.
>>129275587Mozart is not for everyone. The first reply is more useful. Let them pick what they like by themselves.

Alkan op.35, the 12 Major Etudes. Not as good as the minor ones, and there is to my knowledge only one decent recording by Mark Viner, who I generally don't find as good for Alkan interpretations, but beggers can't be choosers I suppose. Crazy how we get a new trite and derivative Beethoven slop cycle played the exact same way as everyone else every few months, but can barely even get a recording for even slightly obscure composers.

>>129277337Yeah, he has all 24 keys for Etudes split between major keys (Op 35) and minor keys (Op 39), and also all 24 keys for Preludes (Op.31). Although honestly his Op 39 doesn't really consist of "Etudes", unless the idea was to practice sounding orchestral I guess. >I hope one day you come around and understand the magnificence of Beethoven's piano sonatas.I listen to Beethoven's sonatas all the time, I just see no reason for endless new recordings that offer nothing of any interest. Gould at least understood that in the era of recordings there is no point in just releasing the same takes over and over and over again.

Schumann is just a shit composer. I heard his cello concerto randomly on the radio today without knowing it was his. And I was like, who wrote this horrible concerto? I also heard that Carnaval piece once on the radio and was perplexed at the repetitiveness and why they were even playing it. Turns out this is hailed as one of his good pieces kek. I can get you suck at orchestration or a lot of forms. But if even your works for solo piano suck that much, you are a failed composer.

But I'm coming around. You should check out the second and third act on their own, maybe.

For today's opera performance, we listen to Berlioz's Les Troyens (The Trojans) conducted by Sir Colin Davis.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZRKENqw_Oc&list=OLAK5uy_n_5PgVfUu6v51E2wmnV05aPD9PWw__jf0&index=2>The work is a dramatization, by Berlioz himself, of the second and fourth books of Virgil’s Aeneid, with some changes, contributions from elsewhere in the poem, and, in one famous passage – the love duet – from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. Berlioz himself said the work was ‘Virgil Shakespeareanized.’

Bach and Wagner, who apparently have radical differences, are the musicians who basically resemble each other the most. Not as musical architecture, but as a substratum of sensibility. Are there two creators in the history of music who have expressed more widely and completely the indefinable state of languor? The fact that in the first it is divine and in the second erotic, or that one condenses the languor of his soul into a sound construction of absolute rigor and the other dilates his soul.
>>129277423It's true Beethoven's piano sonatas don't have the same interpretive potential as, say, Bach or Mahler, but there's still plenty of room to maneuver. For me, consistently listening to new and different recordings helps keep the music fresh, even if the interpretive ideas aren't necessarily original nor the performances particularly groundbreaking compared to the handful of greatest cycles. I see it as, if I'm gonna be listening to the music anyway, why not try a different recording a majority of the time?
>>129269875>There have been no other better pianist composers since BeethovenX_X
alkan a hack
>>129277647I'm listening to all of the operas you post. Been thoroughly enjoying discovering them.
>>129277716>why not try a different recording a majority of the time?NTI(Not That Imbecile) but if the interpretation is below the standard it's simply unenjoyable for me. So if I know the performer isn't good why would I torture myself? I'd rather stick with performers who I know plays well
>>129277745>I'm listening to all of the operas you post.Genuinely makes me happy to hear <3>Been thoroughly enjoying discovering them.Me too, it's great there's this whole trove of classical music left unexplored, many of them masterpieces, plus to finally enjoy all of these composers and works I've heard endlessly praised by others like Wagner and Puccini and Mozart's and Strauss' operas. This Berlioz one is off to an auspicious start, I can tell it's gonna be a work of genius (plus I've always loved the other non-opera Berlioz pieces I've heard).
>>129277730Name what you believe is better. Skrjabin? Interesting and unique style, but meandering and lacking direction in his later outputs. Rachmaninoff? Just Medtner without the depth, slave to the consumer. Prokofiev? Circus melodies, inability to be genuine (turns every melody ironic), and general piano banging. Sorabji? Same issue as Skjabin but magnified 100x fold with his Vagner length compositions. Shubert? Poor man's Beethoven and just as deaf, only hes also wearing a skirt and makeup. Liszt? Formless slop, programmic memes, thematic transgenderism with no development, harmonic gimmicks. Chopin? Pretty melodies and nice harmony, with nothing else. Who do you have as your best post-Beethoven pianists?
>>129277792I'm not suggesting listening to bad recordings. There's a wide range between 10/10 and 1/10. If you genuinely feel like there's only one 10/10 recording for you for any given work, and the rest are 1/10 by comparison, then, well, sorry to hear that. To me, the variety and splendor of recordings is one of the biggest assets of classical music. Check out any professional music critic/reviewer and they'll have long, curated lists of great recordings of any given masterpiece, instead of saying "here's the one, nothing else is worth your time."
>>129277807That's the great thing about opera, it was arguably the foremost medium for a lot of musical history so there's an almost endless supply.
>>129277730Chopin and Debussy evidently.
>>129277809>Skrjabin? Interesting and unique style, but meandering and lacking direction in his later outputs"Meandering and lacking direction" is a strange claim for a composer obsessed with thematic development, narration and dramatic continuity. Shallow analysis.

>>129277887>>129277887>thematic development,Something every composer has even Liszt (but only sometimes)>narration and dramatic continuityShallow analysis with no real meaning. The pseudo-atonal murk of later Scriabin intentionally avoids any sort of direction and focuses instead on the atmosphere and feeling he wanted to present. It creates a very unique method and style, but he failed to incorporate a structure anyone would find perceivable outside of sheet paper. Feinberg was better at attempting to grasp the slippery muck and wrestling into a real purpose. Maybe if Skrjabin had lived longer he would have found a way to eventually create something more cohesive out of his late methods.
>>129277845That plus I believe it's where many composers put the greatest concentration and highest peaks of their talent, eg Mozart, Strauss, Berlioz, Britten, Janacek. Perhaps even the likes of Debussy (with only one opera), Prokofiev, and Berg.
>>129277923True, fuck Fagner and Mahler.
>>129277716Not sure why you place interpretive potential of Mahler to be equal to Bach, or that either of them are that open to such things. If you really love interpretation then just listen to any other Baroque composers, most of the melodies are just skeletons for you to style on. Ignoring that side tangent, I'm not saying to not listen to new interpretations if thats your thing, I'm just saying how about instead of 5 new Beethoven cycles, we get one new one and spread the other four to composers who don't even have their entire works recorded yet. Seems a lot more usefull to get unheard of compositions out there instead of Appassionata recording #91321738712.
>>129277908500 sonatas that sound the same. Unidiomatic to the instrument since pianos didn't even exist then. What does Scarlatti offer that can't be found with more variety and color in Bachs?
>>129277943>Something every composer hasI didn't say "has thematic development", I said "is obsessed with thematic development". Learn to read illiterate.The fact is that Scriabin isn't meandering and lacking direction, it's just that you personally don't like the direction he takes.>atonalLol. No point in arguing with you, you're completely musically illiterate. You have much to learn, buddy.
>>129277997>500 sonatas that sound the sameAnd yet you haven't heard more than 2 or 3, if that. Curious how you can have such a strong opinion on something you're clearly clueless about.

>>129278017your commentary was quite unnecessary /metal/slopper
>>129277943>sheet paperWhat's that?
>>129277984>Not sure why you place interpretive potential of Mahler to be equal to Bach, or that either of them are that open to such things....my ears and brain, plus the words of musicians themselves. Why, are you suggesting this isn't the case? Surely you aren't that much of a madman.>I'm just saying how about instead of 5 new Beethoven cycles, we get one new one and spread the other four to composers who don't even have their entire works recorded yet.I feel you, but it's tricky because while ideally only those with something new to say would record the standard repertoire, I'm sure most of the musicians do genuinely believe that they do, even if they don't. Plus new great recordings of the standard repertoire are in fact still being released. For example, for Beethoven, there's Igor Levit, Rudolf Buchbinder, Louis Lortie, Paul Lewis, Angela Hewitt, Barenboim, Fazil Say, Jonathan Biss, Andras Schiff, Bavouzet, Scherbakov, Boris Giltburg, and Brautigam. All sound distinctive with a unique vision, approach, and sound. Now, if a handful of those cycles didn't exist, and instead they put their time and effort toward recording less-often heard repertoire, would anything be missed? Not much, though then again, the cycles I'd choose to be on the list of expendable might be the ideal cycle for someone else, y'know? A cycle to fit any taste.And finally, maybe they just don't feel those lesser known compositions and composers are worth their time. As I always say, in classical music, the best stuff usually rises to the top. Maybe they all love Beethoven that much.

Talk about a bad faith hypocritical actor. >The fact is that Scriabin isn't meandering and lacking direction,Well you are free to believe whatever you like Scriabincel, just like he was free to believe that he was going to end the world with his Burning Man festival. >>129278026Yes well, Chopin also put "prelude" to pieces that don't prelude to anything. Lots of silly things happened in the Romantic era. However I am not suggesting Scriabin did not write a sonata, but rather that there is no structure in the sense that there is any building up, tension, or journey to his late pieces. Instead you are floating around in his fantasies and atmosphere mood piece, and then it ends at some point. Its pseudo-atonal murk that fails to have a real drive towards anything beyond evoking a feeling or mood.

>>129278039>Why, are you suggesting this isn't the caseBecause one is an obsessive romantic who wrote every detail in, and the other is an obsessive Baroque composer who wrote every note in (sometimes). I mean you want some interpretive potential, go check out the unmeasured preludes of Couperin.

I would say Beethoven has so many cycles that it would be impossible to not find a cycle someone likes, so what are we really printing these out for? Hell, keep making more, but take half and use these pianists to record forgotten works that have literally 0 (zero) recordings. >the best stuff usually rises to the topIf it did then we wouldn't have to suffer through Liszt's fame, Buxtehude wouldn't be an obscure composer, and the positions of Medtner and Rach would be reversed. Classical is subject to the same faults as any other genre's fans.

>Many have criticized Schumann's compositional style as being incompatible with sonata form. For example, his Fantasia, Op. 17 appears to be a series of cleverly interactive themes which, by virtue of their poetic diversity and dramatic momentum, manage barely to function within the confines of a quasi-sonata form. Schumann's discomfort, some would say, is made evident by the absence of developmental sections in the outer two movements, by the invasion of literary and musical quotation, and even by the rhetorical presentations of his too lyrical themes.
>“Schoenberg often time cited Schumann’s music, especially his works in the larger forms, primarily to exemplify negative features of post-Beethoven music. Popular texts told how Schumann could not ‘find his bearings on this road’ and decried his ‘flabbiness and lack of intellectual fibre.'”

>>129278839>>129278821>The digression as a sonata form is problematic, as the framing sections lack the tonal and dramatic features that typify sonata form.(11) The tonal opposition that lies at the core of a sonata exposition—realized through a large-scale motion from a point of tonal stability to one of instability—is conspicuously absent from the section regarded as the exposition. And, as Daverio himself has acknowledged, no development section can be identified. At the same time, the purported recapitulation fails to bring thematic materials previously heard outside of the tonic into its realm. Only the first statement of the lyrical material—initially in ii—is restated in the parallel home key, while the actual home key is established only in the last few measures of the movement.I can keep this going for days btw, my dear musically illiterate norseposter.

>>129280414Take your meds.
>>129280442Mind you, here is an argument made by someone IN FAVOR of a sonata form>The developmental space acts as an episode between the exposition and recapitulation; the episode is rather closed off from the rest of the sonata (even separated through double bar lines at the beginning and end). The development is in c-minor and introduces a new theme in a rotational form. In each rotation, the material is expanded, altered, and sequenced; in this way, the episode does act as a developmental space, although not developing material from the exposition. The reality is that there is no proper defense for the B section in the Fantasie, it is not a real development, the movement is not of any real sonata form. It is a typical romantic disgrace of form. Even Schumann himself realized it was a pile of shite:>Schumann himself grew critical of the Fantasie within a year of its publication. In a letter to Hirschbach from 1839 (Schumann 1886, 142), he wrote: “a new Fantasie of mine, in C major, was recently released by Breitkopf and Härtel. Look at the first movement, which I believed the highest achievement at the time (three years ago). I now think differently.”And so it is with gimmickry and destruction of form: at first a wonder and interest, eventually turning sour with time upon realizing that the ruins and rubble of your destruction were not greater than the structure of the original building you tore down.
This is so sad. Hector's lowest point so far.
>>129280414>showcase how.the /metal/slopper expects to be spoonfed while supposedly citing analyses of the very same piece he hasn't even listened to. how embarrassing can one get?
>>129280448>introduces a new theme in a rotational form.No new independent thematic material is introduced in the development section (the burden of proof is on the /metal/slopper).

>>129278369Yet everyone performs Bach and Mahler in their own way is my point.> so what are we really printing these out for? I already told you, because the music is the best of the best, and the musicians feel they have something to say.
>>129280485I suggest you stop replying to our resident /metal/imbecile he's not sentient.
>>129280485>Yet everyone performs Bach and Mahler in their own way is my point.If by "their own way" you mean a 5% change in tempo here or there, sure. I mean look at the meltdown people had over Gould's Appassionata. While different interpretaions can have value, they are ultimately in this day and age very, very similar to each other. In the past with people separated from each other, there were likely much greater variations of interpretation. Just as the cultures of each country were much different before globalization and the internet for them to learn from and analyze each other. >the musicians feel they have something to say.It is actually the publishers who allow for and push them to make endless repeats, just as Hollywood today can only shovel out repeat movies, repeat franchises, and remasters. Why? Because they sell. This is the model for investors, not for Art. I'm sure (almost) no one who plays a Beethoven cycle in 2026 actually thinks they are bringing anything new to the table, not when they play in such standardized and generic methods. Performance was more interesting and useful before the advent of recordings and the internet could set standards forever, and be available for endless listening in order to achieve perfect replication. Not that I'm saying there is NO value in modern interpretations, but for crowded composers like Beethoven's solo piano music, there is indeed a strong argument that there is no real purpose of continual recordings in such similar manners.

For today's opera performance, we listen to Massenet's Thais conducted by Yves Abel and headlined by Renee Fleming.openinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYOyH1rmrsE&list=OLAK5uy_ldV1KMBgbOMwh87935GRe_nNE7Mk5g3MI&index=2random movement with vocalshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slisUyxwtB4&list=OLAK5uy_ldV1KMBgbOMwh87935GRe_nNE7Mk5g3MI&index=1After this, I'll probably go through Karajan's Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. Also, when searching up this recording, I saw Massenet has some orchestral suites and the like, so I might check those out too at some point, as I've never listened to Massenet before.
>>129280576Dude shut up you queermo spaz!
>>129280544There's more difference than you either notice or are admitting. If you aren't able to tell the difference, and therefore are unable to see the value, then there's nothing really I can say. All I know is Levit's Beethoven isn't Buchbinder's Beethoven isn't Schiff's Beethoven isn't Guy's Beethoven isn't Barenboim's Between isn't Scherbakov's Beethoven. And again, with how great Beethoven is, and how mediocre many of those lesser-known, underperformed composers are, I'd rather spend my days listening to Beethoven's piano sonatas over and over by different musicians with unique visions than the latter. If you disagree, well, then, there's nothing I can really say, because as I said, the multitude of interpretive potential for masterpieces is one of the primary virtues of classical music -- there is no final word, there's always more to say, performance will never die.
>Les pêcheurs de perles (French pronunciation: [le pɛʃœʁ də pɛʁl], The Pearl Fishers) is an opera in three acts by the French composer Georges Bizet, to a libretto by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré... Set in ancient times on the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the opera tells the story of how two men's vow of eternal friendship is threatened by their love for the same woman, whose own dilemma is the conflict between secular love and her sacred oath as a priestess. The friendship duet "Au fond du temple saint", generally known as "The Pearl Fishers Duet", is one of the best-known in Western opera.nice

Don't get me wrong, plenty of violin aficionados love him too. But the fact that he played with such warmth of tone and musicality, never indulging in the screeching cat-music stuff that some violinists think sounds flashy, makes him uniquely listenable to folks not into violin playing for its own sake. Perhaps the fact that he was also a distinguished conductor had something to do with it, for he always seems to know where he is--how everything fits together. His performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto is a case in point: soulful, exciting, never ragged or overblown. Add Emil Gilels' epic rendering of the Piano Concerto and how can you refuse? --David Hurwitz
>>129280722>start of Tchaikovsky: Violin ConcertoI was really surprised what Hurwitz said about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7DsO-BG0i0
The classical period seems like the most round and solid statement of western (European) culture and the classical ideal, but it’s not so. When I listen to Baroque I can hear the music of an entire civilisation that reaches as far as Anatolia, that sounds almost exotic at a time because of its sheer breadth. By comparison the classical period just sounds like the ideals of the Enlightenment and the pressing concerns of a western intelligentsia.
>>129280754Classical was nothing but a gateway for Wagner. Baroque was nothing but a gateway for Beethoven.
>>129280630>There's more difference than you either noticeI actually bet with how frequently you swap between interpretations that you wouldn't be able to name any of these people in a double blind controlled test. Given enough time with one interpretation you may memorize each idiosyncrasy of each performance, but when you cycle in and out with new performers each day and each time you listen to a full cycle (not even just repeating one piece again and again), I highly doubt anyone could truly "know" that performance. Maybe if they were as strange as Gould or Pogorelich, sure, but when the question is slight variations of rubato and minor tempo differences? Not a chance. >performance will never die.It realistically already has, very few are producing live recordings, and and just as few consumers are listening to or buying them compared to studio recordings. There is this idea that a performer has one special "style" to them, which is modern outlook, in the past people would consistently play things differently for different performances. Peaked in this manner during the Baroque period obviously, and then over the period of the romantic era the performer was gradually choke-holded into being a repetitious robot for the composer, merely acting as a voice for his compositions, rather than a creative artist himself.
>>129280775That's the most elegant way to put it.
>>129280782>performance = recording
>>129280782>I actually bet with how frequently you swap between interpretations that you wouldn't be able to name any of these people in a double blind controlled test. Given enough time with one interpretation you may memorize each idiosyncrasy of each performance, but when you cycle in and out with new performers each day and each time you listen to a full cycle (not even just repeating one piece again and again), I highly doubt anyone could truly "know" that performance. Maybe if they were as strange as Gould or Pogorelich, sure, but when the question is slight variations of rubato and minor tempo differences? Not a chance.The fact you don't think this is possible at all tells me everything I need to know. Have a good one.
>>129280775Wagner was western culture soiling its diaper one last time before the modernists ripped its guts out, let’s be honest.
>>129280782Here you go free interpretationigger https://youtu.be/V8wL1AR7iqo?si=DWT-FXzS_u2ZUt0Q
>>129280820But have you ever actually blind tested yourself? Every wine tester thinks they can tell each wine, and yet in a blind test they all magically lose that ability. Not to say you couldn't or haven't memorized a performance through large repeated listenings, but in your case you simply cycle through sets so frequently I highly doubt you have that ability. I mean how many Beethoven cycles have you listened to by now, 30? 50? 80? Nevermind all the other music you listen to, of which you cycle through sets as well. The idea you could actually memorize all those performances is nonsense. Do you have some sort of higher level memorization that you fail to mention? Were you doing your PHD at age 17? Probably not. Put 30 different performances of a different Beethoven sonata that are all recorded in modern fashion (IE no obvious hiss/distortions to make it easier to recognize) in a folder, rename them all to the same thing, press shuffle on them, and write down the name for each performer as each performance is played. I bet you that you wouldn't even get 50%.
>>129280630>isn't Barenboim's BetweenLol
>>129280880The error you're making is you think the differences between interpretations and cycles are strictly technical, eg various levels of rubato and tempo, when in fact it's emotional/aesthetic. You don't have to know how Gulda and Barenboim precisely play a series of notes on X bar to distinguish the difference because their emotional and musical goals and outcomes are diverse.
>>129280880>>129280941In any case, if the differences didn't matter, then it'd be impossible to have preferences. So again, I'm sorry you don't care for one of the best parts of listening to classical music, and I hope one day you come around. There's nothing really left to say if you don't get it.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.The interpreters of 19th century are evidently far more diverse. The effects of isolation period before recordings and the internet - and also centuries-old schools (of singers, pinists) which simply died outleaving only its imitations, pic related - is hard to ignore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kti06UKEJdkNo one is as radical as those two, not even Gould. Almost no one is nearly as good either, with few exceptions. As no one is as good as Maria Callas. Or Battistini. Or Furtwangler.
>>129280992I should say the internet was irrelevant here. Performance died way before the internet.
>>129280941>emotional/aestheticAre just various levels of rubato and tempo. Its fine to not believe me, and I don't think you wouldn't be able to recognize ANY performance, but I think you like the rest of humans would only truly care for a small amount of performances enough to do so. It is easy to remember things when they are given a story in our mind, and that is usually done by larger contrasts or routine familiarity. >>129280963>if the differences didn't matter, then it'd be impossible to have preferences.Not what I'm saying, although this isn't actually true. Humans seek patterns even when there is none, in an infinite white room with no distinguishing features we would find certain spots more favorable than others, regardless of actual difference. Regardless I have never said there is NO difference,
>>129280992Cortot brings the smiles, Hofmann brings the tears
>>129281020Speak on that
>>129280992You still hanging around here after being btfo over the fantasie?>The effects of isolation period before recordings and the internetHilarious how you'll start regurgitating my words the second you agree with them because it feeds your "OLD GOOD NEW BAD", just like you regurgitate the words of youtuber that pushed for your shitty Cortot/Hofmann/Maria Callas meme. >not even GouldComplete delusion.

>>129281074Sorry, I forgot your epic btfo that consisted of... giving up and spamming copy paste garbage like you are now. I guess you got btfo by sisterspammer calling your an indian a lot as well.
>>129281092That's a lot of projection for one post /metal/slopper
>>129281044I can’t really. Cortot just has the light, graceful French touch that tickles your ear. Hofmann though is a born tragedian.https://youtu.be/dcoS1QQw1F8?si=zTv57JojPgYogO5N
>>129281104>>129281104>>129281104Novy
>>129281121Makes sense. Cortot's touch is divine, pierces the soul like nothing else. But so is Hofmann's voicing. Not even Katsaris, as vulgar as he is, voices as well as Hofmann, or most of the old school.
>>129280775retard who has no business coming here
Found out about Bach and I love his music. Brandenburg concertos, goldberg variations, mass, well tempered, organ fugues etc. Is there anything in particular left I should check out by him?
