During a seminar in composition, while a recording of Hovhaness's first symphony was being played, Aaron Copland talked loudly in Spanish to Latin-American composers in the room; and at the end of the recording Leonard Bernstein went to the piano, played a melodic minor scale and rebuked the work as "cheap ghetto music"

Can you guys recommend some English language piano/vocal songs that don't go above E?
I can do higher than that, but I I don't want to.
Lower limit is not an issue.

>>126856820
I don't think people here like songs that much. If you really want to sing classical lieder, try Schubert. That's all I can say.

Yeah any that are A B C or D

The beautiful hiss in Alfred Hoehn's 1928 recording of Chopin's Barcarolle is truly a captivating aspect of the listening experience. It adds a nostalgic charm that evokes the era in which it was recorded, creating a sense of authenticity and connection to the past. This gentle background noise serves as a reminder of the rich history of recorded music, allowing us to appreciate the artistry in a way that feels personal and intimate.

The hiss enhances the emotional depth of the performance, almost like a soft embrace that envelops the listener. It complements Hoehn's delicate touch and expressive phrasing, allowing the nuances of the piece to shine through. Instead of detracting from the music, the hiss enriches it, creating a unique soundscape that draws us in and invites us to lose ourselves in the beauty of Chopin's composition.

In a world of pristine digital recordings, this vintage quality stands out, reminding us of the imperfections that can make music feel alive and real. It's a beautiful testament to the artistry of the time and a delightful experience for anyone who appreciates the magic of historical recordings. Thank you for sharing this enchanting piece of musical history!

>Leonidas Kavakos, the exceptional violinist (Daily Mail) follows his spectacular Brahms Violin Concerto recording by teaming up with star pianist Yuja Wang a prodigious talent, with an astonishing technique (The Guardian) for the great Brahms Violin Sonatas.

>The album is opened by the feisty Scherzo from the F-A-E Sonata, which Brahms contributed to a composite sonata (along with his friends Schumann and Dietrich). The three violin sonatas which follow were written for Brahms s muse in all matters violin, Joseph Joachim, who also gave the premiere of the Violin Concerto and contributed its cadenzas. The album closes with the instantly recognizable Wiegenlied or Lullaby.

But in truth, most people do the 4th pretty well, so pick your favorite Brahms conductor and go from there. Karajan, Sanderling, Jochum, Klemperer, Abbado, Barbirolli, all fine 4ths. Some better than others, so I'm not saying the choice doesn't matter, but just pick your favorite cycle.

Hey, I'm even fine with that. I just don't know how someone can listen to the first few bars of the 4th and not immediately know they're witnessing something truly special, one of the great monuments to human creativity and expressions of tragic resistance.

The difference is, Fagtano talks about generic crap and pretends he's discussing something meaningful

>>126861474
Brahms overtures have to be his worst compositions for me. That's not to say they're actually his most poorly composed, but the gap between how people treat them and how lacking in inspiration they actually are, how mismatched Brahms was to the overture form, makes them utter frauds in his oeuvre. It feels like he just composed them to prove he could compose overtures.

>>126861567
agreed, except for the Academic Overture, which is wonderful and has a great theme

>>126861567
I entirely agree, and funny, I was thinking the same thing when making the post. I normally skip them but since I was gonna listen to two symphonies, it's nice to begin with an overture/orchestral piece, and if I'm gonna listen to it, I might as well post it too.

Hurwitz says no great art can express hatred

>>126861575
Let's just say, I think its name perfectly expresses the music.

>>126861575
I knew a Bohm-bro couldn't have bad taste.

Mahler's clever tactic was he just attached his would-be overtures and symphonic poems onto the symphonies.

>>126861685
Explains why his symphonies are so chaotic and badly organised.

>>126861705
I would have said 'episodic,' but yes that's the joke.

>>126861711
Thank you for telling me that, I would have been at a loss otherwise.

>>126861586
I've watched the video and I disagree.

Mahler works decisively toward the abolition of tradition. At the bottom of the musical novel form lies an aversion that must have been felt long before Mahler, but that he was the first not to repress. It is an aversion to knowing in advance how music continues. Knowing it offends musical intelligence, spiritual nervosity, Mahlerian impatience.

>>126861789
...what?

>>126861789
Mahler works not toward the abolition of tradition, but toward its transfiguration. At the bottom of the musical novel form lies not aversion, but a yearning—for a tradition capacious enough to bear contradiction, memory, rupture. The fear is not of knowing in advance how music continues, but of it continuing without risk. Predictability is not the enemy of intelligence, but its raw material. Mahlerian impatience does not reject form; it stretches it to its trembling limit.

y'know, the more I listen to Ravel's solo piano music, the less I like it, sorry. What at first was exciting, colorful, and imaginative, is now aimless, nebulous, and inscrutable. idk, anyone else feel this way? I want to like his solo piano music so bad

>>126861844

>>126861970
Favorite Ravel solo piano set?

>>126861844
Ravel always sounded boring and extremely pretentious to me. He has nothing I could possibly enjoy: no baroque counterpoint, no classical formality and clarity, no romantic harmony and strong classical influence. But something else completely. To me he's as relevant as pop music.

Huh, Dohnanyi actually has a Bruckner 8? Didn't know. Those tracktimes surprise me, thought it'd be faster. Anyone heard it? It any good?

>>126862171
Wait, Dohnanyi was born in 1929!? And he's still alive!? Wtf. His recordings always sound so modern.

>>126861505
Nebbish

>>126862171
Dohnanyi's Bruckner cycle (3-9) is absolutely solid, with the exception of 7 where the orchestra sounds uninspired. Particularly good: 3, 5, 6 & 8.

>>126862215

Blomstedt/Gewandhaus 5th*

>>126861844
I've never cared much for his music for solo piano (the piano concertos on the other hand, are marvelous). My favorites by Ravel are his piano trio, the Sheherazade song cycle, the concertos

Who was the best composer of concertos since Mozart? It feels like he perfected the form to such a degree that it stopped making sense to compose them, hence everyone moved on to symphonies

>>126861789
I don't know, Mahler stuck to the forms far more tightly than his inspiration Bruckner did. Beneath the behemoths that are his first movements, there's almost always very clear sonata form structure present that you'd never find in Bruckner, who tended to use a heavily modified version of the form

>>126862638
>hence everyone moved on to symphonies

There's still plenty of (piano) concertos in the 19th century though. Beethoven 4 & 5 are up there with Mozart's best. And then there's concertos by Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Bartok, Ravel, Prokofiev all worth hearing. None quite on the level of Mozart's perhaps, but that didn't stop them from composing. Just like composers kept writing symphonies after Beethoven.

>>126862659
The point is that he thinks of his form in completely different fashion. The devil is the detail, what is actually heard, and no one can really believe that Mahler is a natural outgrowth of the classical symphony, like one can still think that about Bruckner and Brahms. An alien element is everywhere present in his music.

Funny, I had the opposite reaction. At first it seemed aimless, etc., but the more I listened, the more it opened up. There's such a variety packed into a relatively small body of work. It always feels like there's more going on beneath the surface, like he's always hiding something. His sense of timing is one of the best in the entire repertoire, almost Bachian. It's strangely balanced music, despite some seemingly overwrought moments. The miniatures are beautiful, Miroirs is an endlessly rewarding cycle, Gaspard de la nuit is a gargantuan work, the Valses nobles et sentimentales are gorgeous, and Le tombeau de Couperin is lovely.

>Alongside it's ongoing and much lauded Haydn and Schubert series, both on-stage and on-record, the Doric String Quartet with this Mendelssohn album is adding a new milestone in it's repertoire. Mendelssohn wrote and published these three quartets at very different stages in his life and they therefore outline the complete trajectory of his creative output. The early Op. 12, also called No. 1, was composed in London and includes many musical allusions to Beethoven, dead only a few years before it's composition. These subtly contrast with Mendelssohn's genially flowing energy.

>While Op. 44 No. 3, which incorporates many deft variations, developments, and combinations, follows an extended honeymoon tour and Mendelssohn's twenty-ninth birthday, Op. 80 emerged from a bout of helpless depression after the sudden death of Mendelssohn's older sister and confidante, Fanny. Mendelssohn described this quartet as a Requiem, and the nervous agitation often found in his music here bursts forth with full force. Resignation, agitation, and nostalgia shape the work, the almost shocking finality of which may be said to prefigure Mendelssohn's own death only six months later.

>>126864876
I disagree with Hurwitz, and what you said is just a summary. As far as I remember, he said music cannot express hatred without text/lyrics, meanwhile assuming that it can express other feelings and emotions (such as joy, love, sadness) - I disagree. IF we agree that music can explicitly express something, evoke those emotions in a person, and that those emotions are not merely our subjective interpretations, then hatred is just as valid form of expression as any. Hurwitz is just virtue signaling here, there's nothing that could prevent someone to express hatred in music, assuming it can express nostalgia, fear, anger, melancholy, happiness etc. But hatred is more taboo, it is not "morally" justified by today's liberal ideologies.
>he says that a hateful parody or pastiche cannot be great art

>"The Brahms project with the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique in 2007 was a thrilling undertaking - a thorough reappraisal of Brahms's sound world, both in terms of period instruments and a study of the surviving evidence of performance practice. So why then a second recording 18 years later? First, because these symphonies are evergreen - miracles at the time of their inception and super-challenging every time one encounters them. Second, because I sensed a need and a personal challenge to build on that seminal earlier experience and to extend its findings and interpretations to/in working with a modern instrument orchestra - especially such a distinguished, flexible and immensely accomplished one as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra - in search of a fresh synthesis of styles and approaches. `Fuego y cristal,' as Jorge Luis Borges described them. That's what we've been aiming at." - John Eliot Gardiner. 3-CD Digipak set with booklet.

I don't know. Probably felt like he had already done everything he could with standard tonality.
>Was it a Jewish conspiracy to weaken the West?
Multiple composers were flirting with atonality before Schoenberg (Debussy chief among them), and the other two major proponents of atonality were Berg and Webern, who were not Jewish. Webern was even a supporter of the Nazi regime. So, no.

Do any anons enjoy or, have as a favourite, recordings that are wrong? ie They ignore what the composer said or are generally considered bad?

>>126867506
Well, Bruckner certainly didn't intend for his symphonies to be played as slow as Celibidache likes it, Gould's Goldberg Variations definitely isn't what Bach had in mind, and Richter's Schubert piano sonatas completely transform them into something new with his diffusive, slow tempo. Oh, and the Stokowski Brahms 4 anons were posting about earlier, that for sure isn't what Brahms had in mind, but it's fun!

>>126867506
your question made me realize that, usually, when I dislike some recording and go look for something else, I generally agree with the composer (for instance, disliking a famous recording because I feel it is too slow, then finding out that the composer always played it faster himself)
so to answer your question, no. I can't think of the opposite having happened. but it's an interesting question.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lex0okHn5w0&t=13s
He makes some good points on how classical music is a catch all term but jumps to the wrong conclusions. If pop music is just the same as classical music then why is it that most people who only listen to pop music cannot get into most classical as easily? Why aren't folk tunes considered classical if apparently "Everything becomes classical with enough age". Pop music has it's place in the musical canon, but it is not the same as classical. Again I am speaking in general terms so you can bring up muh exceptions and I'll accept those

>>126867506
Oh, and tons of Bernstein and Karajan recordings are recolored with their own vision, so to speak. And then there's stuff like Bach and Mozart played romantically, etc. For example, check this out,

>>126867506

>>126869117
At what point do you stop and consider it not the composer's music? The amount of variations from performance to performance that deviate from the score in one way or the other can be quite staggering, even if they appear subtle to the listener. Even something as simple as the orchestra seating arrangement can be perceived as a perversion of the composer's original intentions.

>Stéphane Denève's Roussel cycle is shaping up to be the finest available--not that there's a lot of compelling competition. All of the symphonies are shockingly neglected, but the First might be the least-familiar of them all, God only knows why. It's a gorgeous, impressionistic piece with evocative titles (Forest in Winter, Renewal, Summer evening, Fauns and Dryads) and shimmering, atmospheric music that lives up to its expectations. Denève leads a thoroughly committed, even inspired performance, sensitive to Roussel's detailed scoring but also fluent, lively, and attentive to each movement's symphonic architecture. It's a wonderful performance, excellently played and recorded. There's very little "minor" Roussel. Even his short works have a certain seriousness and substance. This is certainly true of Résurrection, a symphonic prelude after Tolstoy, while the four-movement suite from Le marchand de sable qui passe reveals Roussel's expert scoring for small ensemble (flute, horn, clarinet, harp, and strings). Really this is an essential acquisition for anyone who loves French music and the late Romantic school in general. Don't pass it up. -- Classics Today, David Hurwitz, January 2010

>Following their Autumn 2007 release of Brahms's Double Concerto and Clarinet Quintet, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon further their plan to record the composer's complete solo and chamber works for Virgin Classics. After Renaud's collaboration with Nicholas Angelich for the violin sonatas, later joined by Gautier for the piano trios, French violist Gérard Caussé joined them in Lugano last December to record Brahms's three piano quartets.

>According to Gramophone Magazine, the Capuçon's Brahms piano trios are "sure to kindle anyone's enthusiasm for Brahms. Warm, beautifully balanced tone stresses the composer's romantic side, as does the expansive phrasing. There's a feeling of spontaneity, too, as though each player is discovering new aspects to the music while recording it...The way they are able to strike a balance between Brahms's energetic flow of ideas, his strongly delineated structures, and his lyrical intensity is most satisfying."

Going through all of Angelich's Brahms recordings. I really like his moody, tragic brand of Brahms. None of them are the absolute best, of course, but as a nice alternative from the usual heroic, classically-grounded, almost aristocratic Brahms, it's fantastic.

Tchaikovsky ballets have lush harmonies and orchestrations, and some of the best melodies. Operas are just recitatives, talking in vibrato and a beautiful aria once in a while.

>>126877258
You haven't listened to Handel, Mozart, and Rossini if you think that.

Throughcomposed operas are better than number operas, obviously. But there is a rather simple solution to the problem with number operas: skip the recitatives and just listen to the numbers!!

piano sonatas, novelleten, albumblatt, bunte blatter, waldszenen, romanzen, etc

True, but that comes with its own problems, especially with Schumann because his piano pieces are divided into so many movements, meaning each recording returns ~8 results, so you can see how the search would get clogged very easily. But yeah, that's probably what I'll do, and just go deep, deep, deep into the search results and mark down when I see album covers and performer names I don't recognize lol, it'll be tedious is all but it's worth it.

>avoids functional harmony
>doesn't have a tonal center
>frequent modulation, chromaticism up the ass
yes, it flirts with a tonal center, but the fact that people can't really agree on what that tonal center is shows us that Liszt's intentions and techniques were clearly trying at making an atonal piece. at the very least you could easily call it a prototype, and there's a reason that Liszt was frequently referred to as one of the biggest inspirations for those in the SVS.

For duo sonatas recordings, should the non-piano instrument (ie violin, cello, flute) be louder than the piano, even if slightly? Or completely even? I often see complaints about the non-piano instrument being too overbearing, but let's be serious, in almost every duo sonata, they're the main player, the star of the show, the lead role in the composition, so why shouldn't they be emphasized in sound?

Liszt 2 Saint Francis legends

Two different Saint Francis’s btw. The first is Assisi who said “wait for me while I go to preach to my sisters the birds” and the other is one who sailed across water on a cloak.

Christian jews who do not believe in the Talmud. Not comparable to someone like Schoenberg who did believe in the Talmud and what it said
