now playingMendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 49, MWV Q 29https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ8C4RFN5ZU&list=OLAK5uy_kt30UaA8NPKJFtML-Jso3y_f0JCVr6W0A&index=2Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 66, MWV Q33https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if-uH_8VxzE&list=OLAK5uy_kt30UaA8NPKJFtML-Jso3y_f0JCVr6W0A&index=5>Mendelssohn wrote his first trio, Op. 49, when he was 30, the second, Op. 66, five years later. Among the most beloved favorites of the repertoire, they are heard so frequently--especially the first one--that one would think all interpretive choices had been exhausted. But there is something special about hearing them performed by musicians who are even younger than the composer was when he wrote them. The three players on this record, all of whom have flourishing solo careers, are in their 20s. They bring to this familiar music the freshness of a new discovery, without however straining for novelty or surprise; their unlimited instrumental command and beautiful, varied, invariably expressive tone are entirely at the service of the music. >Their approach combines meticulous observance of the score--dynamics, phrasing, articulation--with youthful spontaneity, ardent romanticism with judicious restraint; they follow Mendelssohn to the heights and depths of emotion without becoming sentimental, exaggerating or resorting to external effects. Though essentially dark, somber and dramatic, both Trios find relief in dreamy, inward, lyrical slow movements, and while each has a characteristic Mendelssohnian elfin Scherzo, in the first Trio it is lit by a bright, sunny sky and in the second it is shadowed by ominous storm-clouds, punctuated by flashes of lightning. The players take both Scherzos extremely fast, and though every note is clear, many details get lost in the headlong rush. The only flaw of this very impressive recording is the balance: the piano is too loud, the violin too soft, and the dynamic contrasts are excessive. --Edith Eisler

>>131161950>The famous 19th-century composer Richard Wagner wrote a notorious antisemitic essay called Das Judenthum in der Musik ("Jewishness in Music"). Wagner specifically attacked Mendelssohn, arguing that a person of Jewish descent was inherently incapable of producing "true" German art, regardless of conversion. Well what was he then? /our/ guy said otherwise.

>>131162265NTA but minimalism among 21st century academic composers is basically the western equivalent of Zen gardening."I felt that the music of the next century would revert to a great lyrical simplicity and that it wouldn’t have any truck with all this mechanistic stuff. Their lives would be full of it from morning to night. Their lives would be scrutinised. In their music they would want something of simple nudity, of great elegance and simplicity. So I said, ‘If I do your picture, that’s the kind of score I want to write - strings, harps and a few percussion instruments. I’m not interested in all this whoopee stuff that goes on being called the music of the future. I think that’s the music of the past." - Bernard Herrmann

>>131162136Yes, it's peak modern classical. I like being able to follow music development fully. In that it's similar to Baroque fugues, which are more complex but rely on a rigid structure to be comprehensible.I can follow a Minimalism piece with minimal trouble and get most of the development/composition/structure.It's a different type of listening - for example, if I listen to a romantic orchestral piece, it's hard to make out individual parts because everyone plays at the same time and everything changes all the time. I do enjoy it, but comprehension requires re-listening to short parts repeatedly to make sense of them.People in this general often call Minimalism boring, but that's because engaging with it is different from engaging with a more traditional classical piece.One of the main attractions of classical music is its complexity - not really for its own sake, but length, variance, and fast pace of change are first of all engaging, and second, encourage repeat listens. For example, I've been listening to the Sacred Spring for years, and on a new listen (especially a new recording), there are still parts I haven't discovered before.Minimalism obviously does not have this; instead, you are shown a short melody, which is repeated over and over again, while new parts or any development are rare and gradual. The goal is to focus on these small changes and their effects on the music.John Adams - Shaker Loops.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtvrzmzxkEk

With innovative sounds and utopian ideas, the Russian composer, philosopher and mystic challenged not only performers and listeners of his time, but also frameworks of thought, categories of history, and limits of art. Scriabin's seemingly egocentric outlook, megalomania and delusions have been psychoanalyzed, ridiculed, and brushed aside. Nonetheless, he sincerely believed himself that art in general, and his own music especially, could change the world and elevate humanity to a new and higher level of consciousness. In spite of small pianist hands and symphonic opposition, Scriabin continued to composer music both for orchestra and for piano, music which few have fully understood and which none have managed to copy. Even in his early works- such as the Piano Concerto and Symphony No. 2- he was about to break with tradition and create his own style and musical expression. And perhaps at the same time he was taking important steps on the road toward the great Mystery that awaited him at the foot of the Himalayas, though only he can provide an answer. Meanwhile, listeners can appreciate music of a composer who undeniably throughout his career dared to think outside the box.

>>131162226Because it's fundamentally reactionary music in one of the worst possible ways. It was a reaction against the extreme modernism of the mid-20th century. Just as modernism went overboard with serialism and its complete disregard for the average or even moderately educated listener, this went too far in the opposite direction, with its basically non-existent harmony, thematic development and formal complexity, flirting with popular culture and music, and its complete and utter disregard for composition and tradition. That, coupled with the pseudointellectualism of American hippie culture, with its fixation on Eastern philosophy, meditation, psychedelic drug use, and bullshit New Age pseudophilosophy, makes for a deeply unpleasant, even disgusting, aesthetic experience.

Bittersweet harmonies characterize the First Quartet. The Second Quartet, whose subtitle Messages refers to the mysterious sounds of telegraph poles vibrating in the wind, is notable for its motivic coherence and emotional intensity. The Third Quartet, subtitled Wycinanki, a reference to paper cuts familiar in Polish rustic art, ends with one of Panufniks most moving statements. Lutosawskis dramatic and experimental String Quartet was written when he was at the forefront of the European avant-garde.

The vitriolic reaction some people have to classical music is a source of endless fascination to me. I fully get it, they don't like the idea they don't enjoy something that's putatively for smart people, so they strike out against it instead, but still, it's an interesting psychological and, given its widespread affliction, sociological phenomenon. In fact, American politicians are generally cautioned against admitting any preference or even enjoyment of classical music for fear that they risk offending a portion of the electorate!

Recorded in the luxurious acoustics of the Symphony Hall in Boston, the three Mazurkas for solo piano feature alongside the world premiere recordings of Berceuse from "The Exterminating Angel" and the concert paraphrase on "Powder Her Face" for two pianos performed with the composer. Together with these works is "In Seven Days" for piano and orchestra which anticipated Adès's recent piano concerto written, like Berceuse, especially for Kirill. The live performance was captured in the Seiji Ozawa Hall as part of the 2018 Tanglewood Music Festival, with Adès conducting the Tanglewood Music Centre Orchestra.

On this recording, Kirill Gerstein offers an unusual yet logical pairing of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Schumann’s Carnaval – piano pieces in which the layer of the visual and the illustrative gives way to subtler and more personal meanings.Generic madlib description lol.

>>131179249Late Debussy in general is quite strange. There's also the second book of the Preludes, En blanc et noir, Jeux, Khamma, etc. Even the chamber sonatas seem to filter people. What they don't understand, however, is that that's peak Debussy: the perfect blend of French colorfulness and that unmistakable Debussyian charm, with complete formal mastery and economy of material.
>>131182354This guy gets it>Harry Halbreich adopts the same perspective, seeing in Debussy "a liberator, as only Claudio Monteverdi had been before him".[233] Marguerite Long confirms this link forged by Debussy between the Baroque aesthetic and the postmodern perspectives of the 20th century, based on her personal recollections:>Like Monteverdi, the musician employs the special alchemy invoked for the Études. It is now up to him to direct the beacons of intelligence and sensuality toward the mysteries of an art he adores.>In his analysis of the Études, André Boucourechliev emphasizes this point: "Chopin is contradicted at every moment. Looking back through history, one stops at Beethoven, and even more at Gesualdo, that prince of continuous discontinuity[37]...". According to him, Debussy's antecedents "are not Franck or Mussorgsky, but the anonymous composers of the Middle Ages, Monteverdi, and Gesualdo".
>Beethoven had 30 piano sonatas >Only a third of them are worth relistening to
>>131183182Third? Lol. I'd be happy with Appassionata and no.30, don't need the rest.

>>131175049Not that guy, but I suspect Russian music was suppressed during the cold war in the west. Probably mostly from people coping with Russia mogging the west in developing the European tradition.
>>131175038There is nothing intrinsically wrong with Borodin, Balakirev, Rebikov, Liadov, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Scriabin, and that will be a hill I will die on.If the Russian 5 is good enough for Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky and Messiaen, they're good enough for me.

Recorded live in October 2025 at Suntory Hall in Japan, this marks her second and final recording of these works, following her first in 2006. Widely regarded as a peerless interpreter of Beethoven, Uchida follows her acclaimed recording of his Diabelli Variations, which won a Gramophone Award in 2022 and was nominated for a Grammy in 2023. Composed between 1820 and 1822 alongside his Missa solemnis, Beethoven's final piano sonatas represent the pinnacle of his writing for the instrument, transcending traditional sonata form, through profound introspection and emotional journeys from struggle to serenity.review,https://theclassicreview.com/album-reviews/review-beethoven-the-last-three-piano-sonatas-mitsuko-uchida-live/

Fauré’s Op. 103 Preludes are not merely the greatest piano works ever conceived, they are, quite simply, the greatest works of art ever wrought by the human hand.
>>131189572Give it a try! It's his third symphony. I'm sure he has more beyond those and the concerto.

>>131189765I just realized how much this symphony sounds like a modern film score and now it's ruined for me.
>>131189696you wanted something that would show up, perform a few clever tricks, and leave you feeling clever for having understood it. Fauré declines to perform that service. he does not raise his voice. He does not solicit your attention. he does not particularly care whether you remain in the room. you are mistaking that indifference for incompetence, and so you declare the work a failure.your ear has been trained too long on the crude bluntness of primary triads and the cheap narrative of left-hand oom-pah. Naturally, refined harmonic implication registers to you as "randomness". the “forgettable trainwreck” you claim to hear is little more than the sound of your own limitations.
>>131188748Not my thing, and it’s quite annoying how BBC 3 are sucking him off so hard for the Proms because it’s a big birthday of his this year.
>>131186797I play the piano, currently at the level of Bach's Inventions. My peak was when I was seventeen; the pieces I was working on then were Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu and Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op. 3 No. 2, but when I moved for college I stopped playing for about ten years and now that I've started again I don't have as much time to devote to practicing. I also used to play the trumpet in my high school wind band.
>>131187975>complete sets>good
>>131189833I think the work simply sucks. Faure rarely has the natural feel of what works melodically and harmonically, that the great composers always did, like the renaissance masters, Handel, Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Haydn, Clementi, Schubert, romantics and so on. Faure belongs in the second or even third tier.
>>131189859>rarely has the natural feel of what works melodically and harmonicallyVague as ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJXL5fFRENA&list=PLNSPbKyOeokcW9iR5gL6mnAziepuO-GAYQuite lovely.
>>131189861Not at all.
>>131189859your response is purely pseudo-intellectual drivel and does not warrant a serious counterargument.
>>131185204Not of the era being discussed but, Shostakovich is over-rated, over-played and over-performed imo, feels like he is wanked over all the time in America and Britain and it doesn’t take long for the real reason for it to be mentioned “muh anti-communist and muh suppressed by Stalin”. Prokofiev >>> Shostakovich.Stravinsky who lived in America also certainly doesn’t get surpressed but a lot of his is less accessible then the boring ripped off “pop” pieces of Shostakovich.
>>131189884Oops meant to reply to>>131189833
>>131189886>Prokofiev >>> Shostakovich.If you ignore Shostakovich's symphonies and string quartets, they're about equal. Maybe the edge to Prokofiev if you really like his operas. But then you remember the symphonies and string quartets and it's a blowout. And I'm probably the biggest Prokofiev fan here! (granted I might be the biggest Shostakovich fan here too lol)

>>131189880Oh, you're right. I know exactly what you mean. "Natural feel of what works melodically and harmonically" is so demonstrably objective. Everybody knows exactly what that looks like and can point it out!
I like Faure but there is a reason his works are not nearly as commonly programmed nor recorded as, say, Chopin or Beethoven or Rach or Scriabin. He was no doubt lacking in the melody department.gun to my head I wouldn't be able to recall the primary theme from any of his chamber music, for example, nice as they are. I don't think it's controversial to say he isn't on that top-tier but he's on the next one.

sometimes when i'm with my zoomette gf, i'll sneak into the bathroom to put on headphones and listen to classical
wagner was too much of a brainlet to have perfect pitch. wagner fanboys therefore have bad taste.
>>131190566perfect pitch is completely irrelevant when it comes to composing
>>131190537>ScriabinFauré is arguably more recorded and performed than Scriabin.>He was no doubt lacking in the melody department.>gun to my head I wouldn't be able to recall the primary theme from any of his chamber musicCan this myth fucking die already? It's completely subjective how well you remember themes from composers you rarely listen to. Nobody can honestly say Fauré's Pavane doesn't have a memorable melody. Regardless, there's much more to music than how memorable the melodies are. Fucking dilettante retards.
>>131190764People have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that harmonists and formalists exist.
>>131190537this is one of the most nonsensical posts i've seen in these threads.
I'll have you plebs know that /classical/ excels in objective musical and aesthetic analysis, with gems such as "the natural feel of what works melodically and harmonically" and "I can't recall the theme from any of his music".

>>131190812>>131190764I was just talking about my personal experience and opinion of Faure's melodies. You can take it or leave it.>>131190786I have an overly equivocal writing style. Sometimes it can get messy but it works for me.
>>131190838>he was no doubt lacking in certain qualities>uhm it's just my personal opinionYeah, keep backtracking, pussy.
>>131190838the claim that Fauré is less programmed than Scriabin is genuinely retarded
>>131190899For solo piano is what I meant, given this conversation started with the Preludes. I don't think it's quite close at all given that.
>>131190696cope. mozart and beethoven had perfect pitch. you literally cannot even imagine what goes on inside the mind of a genius because you are not a genius.
perfect pitch is misunderstood so people believe they don't have it just because they can't name every note because they didn't have years of formal music training. the complete absense of perfect pitch is described as basically being retarded, so that you wouldn't remember songs properly, so that you would tend to sing in the wrong key if asked to sing a song without having an external reference. you would have a convoluted indirect approach to playing music like by inferring the notes by listening to the timbre of an open e string on a guitar, you would have no inherent reference to fully comprehend the song in your mind without hearing music playing externally at the same time.

>>131192412No.
>>131192445No what?
>>131191071>He WAS lacking in qualities, yes.Just like every composer was lacking in certain qualities, then. I find it fascinating how you morons absolutely fellate the same 5-10 composers over and over again, pretending as if they could do absolutely no wrong, but the moment someone mentions anyone outside that tiny approved pantheon, you all transform into the most exacting, hypercritical connoisseurs. Suspicious of every unfamiliar name that has to justify its existence. Every bar is dissected, every musical parameter picked apart, and everything is compared unfavorably to your sacred idols. The funniest thing is that you can never back any of it up with actual coherent analysis. It all stays in that vague, subjective world of "good" and "bad", "had the talent" and "lacked the gift". And this isn't purely a /classical/ thing either; I've seen the exact same dilettantism on sites like Talk Classical. I'd almost forgotten how pathetic online classical music discourse is.

>Fauré Mogged by Ravel and Poulenc
>implying poulenc ever wrote anything remotely as good as thishttps://youtu.be/8jO4GqobIas
>Moggedopinion discarded
>Not all musicians, however, saw the Quintet [by Shostakovich] in this light. For some it represented a cowardly retreat into a safe haven and a deliberate avoidance of controversy. Prokofiev, for instance, expressed his disappointment that such a young composer should write so unadventurously. Hitherto, Prokofiev and Shostakovich shared some stylistic features, notably the satirical element already mentioned. Satire became much less marked in the later works of both composers, but the avoidance of the 'expected' in Prokofiev's lyricism seems to me to have a self-conscious quality, whereas the originality of Shostakovich's later work arises out of the compelling logic of the thought process itself. In this respect it is significant that Prokofiev's son is reported to have said that when his father had first drafted a passage he then considered how it could be made more 'interesting'.

>>131193036could you imagine if someone had photographic memory but for music, so they could imagine the notes in the proper pitch but also the expression of the instruments, the timbre and so on in great detail. not just remembering what they heard, but imagining anything else that they can think of. that wouldn't automatically make them a great composer, but if they're a well-rounded genius then they'll sure have an advantage over the average joe who could never dream of achieving something that's worth getting glazed for hundreds of years.

>>131196864hmm fair enough. kk lemme try again:It's time (but I'm actually listening to Gould)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crGkOICt2vA&list=OLAK5uy_m-SopY4BfooKl59KEA7xlUPEbArUPYTjI&index=1(but I'm actually listening tohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL2shkISYFA&list=OLAK5uy_lweFSuBtB1nA5H-bcecrtWdYeuXCVtuL0&index=5)
I'm also listening to God Gould
>>131196885>Siegfried Idyll (Glenn Gould Conducting)>not his performance of the piano transcriptionbut why
Celibidache's Wagnerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHr20pCRcLg&list=OLAK5uy_n74lwDPHf3lVL9zQoYnXSD9NyjrhwMNB4&index=3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XX5W7rBWkg&list=OLAK5uy_n74lwDPHf3lVL9zQoYnXSD9NyjrhwMNB4&index=5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6LhRDXMayo&list=OLAK5uy_n74lwDPHf3lVL9zQoYnXSD9NyjrhwMNB4&index=6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80iSrgHqacg&list=OLAK5uy_n74lwDPHf3lVL9zQoYnXSD9NyjrhwMNB4&index=9warning: may induce physical nirvana and spiritual transcendence
>>131196624robert miles - children is originally trance but here it's performed pretentiously with classical instruments by an overrated trance DJ/producer with weak piano skills
>>131196889>not his performance of the piano transcription It would induce physical nirvana and spiritual transcendence
>>131196913that's a werid way of spelling "annoyance"
no but seriously I am switching from Gould's Beethoven to a different cycle (maybe gonna finish the Claude Frank one finally). It's a good palette cleanser but good lord not something you sit and listen all the way through, so having listened to No. 1 and halfway of No. 2, I'mma just listen to one sonata from it every couple weeks or something.anywayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL_oD_ETtJ8&list=OLAK5uy_moYMz31N2nGudyFBCfkyLu5-7iD7S6UDo&index=64
For me, it's Schumann's second piano sonata in G minorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKBXI5glNeo&list=OLAK5uy_lF32OkTcLP55W0988YZM7KXVvcf-OuB9c&index=1
Call me a pleb but nothing more pretentious than referring to pieces by their key.>Hey, what's your favorite Bach cello suite?>Hmm, the D Major.ew
>>131197111what is it
>>131197136For me. Schumann's second piano sonata in G minor. It is.
>>131197134ignorance leads to hate, yes
>>131197154Only if you're a musician conversing with a fellow musician is it okay.
>>131197148what is it
>>131197164I told you, Schumann's second piano sonata in G minor!
My favourite Bach Goldberg is the G Major one.
>>131197162>Only if you're not ignorant will it not lead to angeryes that's what I said
>>131197175For me, it's the Black Pearl.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFsGcBeWAzM&list=OLAK5uy_k2er6VZFwCAEa1zJPHWVY5vYAG8-TEM5w&index=26
