Atonal music must be introduced gradually. First try tonal with some atonal elements, more mature works after that. It's acquired taste. If you jump straight into late Schoenberg after listening to Mozart exclusively you're gonna have a bad time.

Conceptually I like it, especially the attempt at utilizing string portamenti like it was in Mahler's day - one of a very few recordings to actually make such an attempt - but it's recorded quite poorly and the balance of the orchestra sounds bad.
>>126712785
Walter has two recordings, I think the first one from the 30s is a pretty decent picture of what an idiomatic Mahler performance may have looked like in Mahler's day, although Walter was notably a very different conductor from Mahler. By the time he made his stereo remake, he had slowed down his tempi considerably, and adopted more modern sensibilities towards string fingering/bowing and adopted the American seating arrangement (1st and 2nd violins bunched together on the left). It's still a very good recording, with one of the best tam tam whacks in all of Mahler 9 history during the climax of the 1st movement, but it's not quite what Mahler may have heard during his time.

I embrace both musical expressions, yet I perceive atonal music as the higher form. It transcends the confines of the material realm, reaching into the realms of the divine. This music works beyond the veil of ordinary perception. it stands in stark contrast to your analogy, it is divine music, even if the composer is unaware of it's spiritual nature.

>It needs to be stressed that Mahler was still describing his Eighth Symphony as his most important work a year after he had completed Das Lied von der Erde and shortly after he had put the finishing touches to the Ninth.

Was Mahler retarded? The Eighth as his crowning achievement, really?

>In celebration of Chopin Year--2010 being the 200th birthday of the sui generis Polish genius--Nelson Freire, a Chopin interpreter of unique discernment, records the beloved Nocturnes. Freire is an acknowledged master of the keyboard. His recordings for Decca have won numerous awards, including a Gramophone Award, Diapason d'or, Grand Prix de l'Acadรฉmie Charles Cros, and Choc du Monde de la musique. Freire is past winner of the Dinu Lipatti Medal, first prize winner of the International Vianna da Motta Competition and was France's Victoires de la Musique's "Soloist of the Year" in 2002. A pianist's pianist who's playing "sings" with every refinement of the school of bel canto, Nelson Freire is an artist whose profile deserves the attention of a wider classical market. In the opinion of The Dallas Morning News, "Any new Freire recording is virtually self-recommending." 2 CDs for the price of 1!

That statement is incorrect. Johann Sebastian Bach did compose pieces for the cello, most notably the Six Suites for Solo Cello (BWV 1007-1012). These suites are considered some of the most important and influential works for the instrument.

So 78rpm records were pressed differently. Back in those days, they didn't have tape. Here's a good video on the process:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beMV5wcf0js
Most of the time, they had metal parts which contained the "data" for the music, and those metal parts would then be used to press onto a 78rpm record for playback. They were usually pressed onto shellac or lacquer. The metal parts are usually just called "metal masters."

Back in the LP era, there were efforts made by the record companies to transfer old recordings onto the new long playing record technology, since shellac/lacquer discs are terribly noisy. They would do so utilizing the metal masters, and then afterwards trash them. So a lot of metal masters are missing these days. In the rare case that they're still available, you can do a modern transfer and the quality is quite good compared to a transfer from a 78rpm record - especially in regards to surface noise and dynamics. Failing that, doing an LP transfer from a recording derived from a metal master is also fine, but there are also pretty good transfers of 78rpm recordings from masters of the craft like Ward Marston or Mark Obert-Thorn.

Here's an example of a transfer derived from a metal master. In this, it's the Busch Quartet playing Brahms' 2nd Piano Quartet:
https://litter.catbox.moe/lz3hv7gh38szeokt.mp3
and compare it to a transfer derived from an original shellac disc:
https://litter.catbox.moe/v5x9b4tj5yje2v0p.mp3
The frequency response may not be particularly higher in the first example, but comparing the two I think it's pretty clear which one is the easiest on the ears. The metal master derived transfer has a much lower surface noise and you can even make out the room ambiance quite a bit more.

So, my preference is for digitization derived from metal masters, followed by LPs derived from metal masters, followed by transfers from shellac. To be fair, modern shellac transfers are pretty good from the right source.

That's my favorite Bruckner 8th. In general I like Beinum a lot. Great Brahms, what little Mahler he conducted was great, great Debussy. He was certainly far more talented than Haitink and the musical world was worse off with his passing.

Your statement is false. Assuming Bach wrote BWV 1007-1012 (which is not entirely certain owing to the absence of an autographed manuscript), the instrument he intended to perform on was certainly not the modern cello but rather the violoncello da spalla.

Yeah I think about this all the time. We've all heard, say, Beethoven 9 a thousand times than all of those oldtimers ever did. I guess conductors and musicians with all the rehearsals and shows probably heard things quite a bit but still.

Just remembered this cycle existed, and I've generally been a big fan of Kurt Sanderling's conducting (Shostakovich, Brahms, Mahler), so this ought to be good! Curious to see how his romantic Eastern Germanic style mix with Sibelius.

Just a random thought, but I think out of all the symphony cycles, Sibelius' and Bruckner's are the most easy listening and replayability. By that I mean, for most composers when I feel like listening to their symphonies, it's usually one at a time, or two at most. For Sibelius and Bruckner, on the other hand, I can easily start any set from the very beginning (or with the 3rd in Bruckner's case), lay back, and let all of them play through for the evening without wanting to change it.

It's not really what I'd call spiritual but the last part of The Planets-Neptune makes me think of the True Unknown or the Great Unknown if you prefer, which may indeed be spiritual. I tend to think of spiritual as something more like passionate supplication but I guess there's many other forms it might take

Plus I always give the benefit-of-the-doubt. If I listen to a highly acclaimed and beloved recording and it doesn't click on the first listen, my default instinct isn't to say it sucks, but rather think "oh maybe I'll enjoy it more the next time I try it." Silly, maybe, but I can't help it.

now playing, gonna go through Sokolov's recordings; if you have any specific recommendations feel free to mention them

start of Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-Flat Major, Op. 106, "GroรŸe Sonate fรผr das Hammerklavier"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbgBmxULpzY&list=OLAK5uy_lyxBt07rcSp8sFSo34sXM5J8Yi3Xi5XOc&index=1

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lyxBt07rcSp8sFSo34sXM5J8Yi3Xi5XOc

>This classic recording was recorded live in Munich, November 18-19, 1975, and originally released on LP by Melodija and Eurodisc labels. Grigory Sokolov is regarded as one of the worldโ€™s leading pianists, dedicated to his art, and adored by his audience in sold-out concerts. Few pianists of recent years have become quite such a legend in their own lifetime. Sokolov created a huge worldwide fanbase solely by playing concerts, as he refused do studio recordings. The only recordings available are live recording of concerts. Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-flat major, Op. 106 (known as the GroรŸe Sonate fรผr das Hammerklavier, or more simply as the Hammerklavier) is a piano sonata widely viewed as one of the most important works of the composer's third period and among the greatest piano sonatas. Completed in 1818, it is often considered to be Beethoven's most technically challenging piano composition and one of the most demanding solo works in the classical piano repertoire.

it really isn't, especially when most of the "rule of the octave" harmonizations are shit to begin with.

Fenaroli was a fucking idiot who needlessly overcomplicated things by harmonizing the ascending major scale with I-V7-I-ii7-V-IV-V7-I instead of I-V-I-IV-I-IV-V-I which is what Wagner used.

Horowitz, Zacharias, Pletnev, and Pogorelich are quite good. The best Scarlatti, however, is by Marcelle Meyer. Sadly, they're older recordings, some of them are quite rough, but she recorded a lot of sonatas and they're amazing performances.

His debut album on Deutsche Grammophon, "Salzburg Recital," was a huge success and is now followed by a remarkable recital of Schubert & Beethoven. This album was culled from concerts in Warsaw and Salzburg, which were celebrated by the media. "The greatest pianist alive today." (International Piano)

Why couldn't Beethoven or Mozart write a symphony or concerto that's 'gloomy'/minor key/dark from start to finish, like 2nd mov of 7th symphony or 1st and 2nd of 3rd symphony, or 1st of 20th concerto etc.?

I'm here listening to Beethoven's 7th and being disappointed by the 3rd movement because it absolutely does not follow the great 2nd mov emotionally - which is one of the greatest thing ever written. Why the constant mood swings? Ugh.

You gays always go on about this performance and that but even the least accurate performance, even when Glen Gould plays Mozart-98% of what he's playing is what Mozart wrote him to play. You should try listening to Desolation Row and then hearing how Bob plays it now-like a dog mumbling into a piano over a jazzy blues warm up number. Or in 78 where Don't Think Twice became a....reggae jazz waltz I don't even know what you'd call it

The small variations can make all the difference. You feel it in your heart and soul. One performance of the Hammerklavier leaves you cold, another reminds you of falling in love, yet another fills you with inspiration and vitality, and another still makes you a witness to the sublime. It's not just "oh when Horowitz stretches out those bars for another second longer than Kempff, it sounds better" fastidiousness, it's some make the music come alive and some don't, and t hen there's making them come alive in different ways, and that's what we're discussing.

Sure, a cover of a rock song is usually played entirely different, I used to be a rockist myself, I get it, but you're underestimating the difference a classical interpretation and performance can make compared to another, even if to the unfamiliar ear it sounds practically the same.

Austro-German classical music is formal and technical. If you want music that is purely emotion, listen to slavic or italian composers instead. German music is as much intellectual as it is emotional. But is harder to resonate with if you don't understand the mindset of the music

Because the emphasis in the classical era was on creating contrast and musical drama. There's supposed to be a sense of movement and change over the course of the music, represented in conventions of sonata form like the contrasting themes and the progression through different key areas (for example the first theme is played in the home key while the second is typically played in the dominant). Accordingly works will often shift between major and minor modes too. This is one of the biggest hurdles for newcomers because the majority of music outside of classical is intended to evoke a static mood.

I play piano but I'm depressed because I have small hands. How the FUCK is someone supposed to play this chord? I even struggle with the Cb major 10th and can't play that one loudly because only the tippy tip of my thumb is on the Eb and I need to be careful that my ring finger (I use my ring because it has more reach than my pinky) on the low Cb doesn't accidentally sound the adjacent C natural as well.

It's literally based on measured lengths; it's not like I'm gaining length when I place my hand on a piano. The only thing I can think of is if they measure hand span along the slight curve instead of a straight line since some people can open their hand more than others -- I've seen a bunch of Asian people who seem to be able to form a straight line from pink to thumb, while my father has giant hands, but he can't open as wide as I can, so I end up having a longer straight line span.

It becomes monotonous. do you really want to listen to a piece of music that remains in a minor key for half an hour? even Mahler didn't try to get away with that kind of bullshit.

Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta ends with a movement completely out of sync with the rest of it, it feels tacked on and arbritary. There's nothing wrong with it exactly but it doesn't belong with the rest

It's not schizophrenic. Most symphonies, especially of the classical period, aren't heavily cyclic and present a variety of contrasting moods from movement to movement.

People will say Mahler most likely due to him being Jewish and his music being largely emotive, but objectively speaking it was probably either Beethoven or Schumann.

>Intense Bach
>After many years of Glenn Gould and Bach, I am saturated and cannot hear a note of Gould nor of Bach, and my least favorite CD is Sokolov's Bach, although this pianist is my favorite.
>One fine day, in my car, in tropical Florida, in the breeze, watching the pelicans fly above the blue sea, in the sunset, I listened to my Russian pianist Grigory Sokolov playing Bach, and suddenly my meaningless life was beautiful again.
There was an intensity never heard before, a sadness so profound it made me weep, waves of forgotten emotions overwhelming me. I understood Sokolov played Bach the way I wanted Bach to be, moving, complex, subtle, passionate, deep, unpredictable.
>I will buy any CD played by Sokolov, he is truly my pianist, the one who can express what I want to hear. He has those magic fingers that are so fine and powerful, graceful and passionate, forever changing, just like life, with its joys and sorrows.

no, that would be /pol/. I've made a quick summary:

- the sister poster: most likely an American in his late teens. can be helpful but he's more interested in insulting people anonymously.

- the now playing links poster: says he's from Cascadia but is most likely a Californian. definitely the best/most helpful poster in /classical/

- Maho Hiyajo poster: another American. favorite composer is Mozart. he keeps a /classical/ tab open while at his office job. thinks the Viennese classics should be posted here more often.

- Jazz musician tripfag: claims to be German. not sure if his posts esoteric wisdom or just schizophrenia.

- Rachmaninoff shill: self-explanatory. He's also Dutch.

-Scriabin/Wagner poster: makes good pastas and shitposts but good luck having a serious discussion with him.

I'm European, though you got the second one scarily accurate, forgot whether I ever mentioned that or not. However, I've been laid off recently and looking for work. Hence why I haven't posted over here as much.

So many recordings of these works, most of them dull or worse. I like Kirshbaum a lot though so when I saw his name I had to give it a try.

Okay, I think I finally figured out a solution to the problem of finding new recordings by solo singers. The problem being how are you supposed to find these recordings if you don't already know the name of the performer beforehand? Searching something like "mozart lieder" isn't as helpful as you'd might think.

Anyway, my new tactic is looking up great recordings of a piece with a solo part (eg Mahler 4), noting the singer, and looking up their stuff. So here we have Kathleen Battle, found from the Maazel Mahler 4.

But yeah, trying to search up "handel songs" is useless, so if anyone has any recommendations for more recordings like this, I'm all ears!

It's actually not bad he's very gould at playing pyschotic episode music. There's a bit that sounds like something used in a Super Mario game or some SNES game it's kind of annoying me
