Liszt's Années de pèlerinage II, S. 161: IV. Sonetto 47 del Petrarca

>In November 2011 I heard Bertrand Chamayou for the first time during the Lucerne Piano Festival, where his recital in the Lukaskirche featured an ample selection from Liszt’s Années de Pèlerinage. I was frankly bowled over by the young French pianist’s staggering technique, commanding artistry, wide color palette, and controlled concentration. These qualities consistently inform his Naïve recording of the complete cycle, which may well become a version of reference alongside Muza Rubackyté’s out-of-print Lyrinx edition. ---- Jed Distler, 10/10

I'd always thought this Annees cycle was great yet short of excellent because of Chamayou's straightforward, limpid approach, as I generally prefer my Liszt with more color and overt poeticism, but this morning it's really hitting the spot, proving to be an exciting and virtuosic rendition of one of the great masterpieces of solo piano repertoire.

Who are some composers melodically similar to Wagner? It occurred to me that I don't actually have any classification in my head for what distinguishes Wagner's melodic sensibility. I don't mean his harmony or orchestration, but the melodies themselves. Who influenced him, who inspired him to write melodies like he did? Is Wagner a melodic chameleon with no distinctive style here?

Bruckner and Mahler

you seem to think that third-tier means bad. it doesn't. martinu is a decent composer, and i think he is generally rated as such. he was never great however, and certainly no genius. i have plenty of martinu in my collection and i would describe most of as merely pleasant.

Piano exists because of Bach. And in its early stages it was indeed shitty, perhaps as bad as clavichord or harpsichord, in dynamic range at least.

Bach himself owned piano. The piano you know is different, sounds different, but is the same old piano that Bach used to play.
>>127273815
Bach did not specify what he composed for, he composed for "Klavier", as in, any keyboard instrument, including the piano. So yes, Bach composed for piano.
>>127273821
Clearly historically illiterate.

>>127273849
Bach hated pianofortes. His favorite “Klavier” was the Clavichord.

i had the displeasure of watching ryan's daughter whose only redeeming quality was beet's prevalence throughout the movie. it is my formal opinion that the infidelity expressed in the film deserved worse treatment. i hate women.

>>127273925
i feel the same way when listening to opera from other composers, except it isn't the language barrier that concerns me, but rather the fact that they are not and can never match up to the quality that wagner himself attained.

Yes, obviously. Just read along with a bilingual libretto.

Wagner fucked Liszt or something?

This is also Hurwitz's favorite recording of the 3rd concerto. Closest to what Rachmaninoff intended apparently, and does its form and structure 'justice' in his own words. Exciting, first time listening to Edo de Waart!

yeah, I'm sure the first man who sold the instrument secretly hated them. makes sense.

>>127275748
i believe the consensus agrees that it is the best, however, warner classics has a lot of money to spend on advertising, much more than dg could ever hope to obtain, so it is my honest and most educated opinion that the consensus could very well be the result of that which i alluded to earlier. it should be noted that art et son studios is responsible for remastering the warner debussy anthology and that their engineering is in most instances great. now if you would a word on consensus what does it mean for public opinion to be driven to conclusions just because it has mass appeal? is this not one of the most dangerous, if not the most dangerous, attacks on our individual freedom as a people? how much of my decisions are based on this big money effort in altering my attitudes and thus behavior? what can we do about it?

A neat video of the violinist Gil Shaham comparing Brahms' and Beethoven's violin concertos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwiEA2yQ4Qk

and accompanying article
https://www.violinist.com/blog/laurie/20211/28623

>You don't need to read any history to sense the connection between the Beethoven and Brahms violins concertos -- it's right there in the music. This idea led to a wonderful conversation with violinist Gil Shaham, who releases his new recording of Beethoven and Brahms on March 12. In the video below, Gil demonstrates nearly a dozen places where the two concertos mirror one another, playing on a c.1719 Strad from Rare Violins In Consortium Artists and Benefactors Collaborative.

...

>The history of this connection - between Beethoven, Joachim and Brahms - is actually quite interesting. When Gil talks about why he decided to record both the Beethoven and Brahms violins concertos together on one album, he points to one historical moment: March 11, 1848, the fateful day when Johannes Brahms, just 14 years old, watched Joseph Joachim perform the Beethoven Violin Concerto at a concert in Hamburg. "Apparently, this concert changed his life," Shaham said, citing the historical research by Styra Avins, who wrote the program notes for his new album and who also wrote the 1998 book Johannes Brahms: Life and Letters.

>Fast-forward to the 44-year-old Brahms, who had just started composing his own violin concerto. He turned, of course, to Joachim, who was by then a close friend. They talked about technical considerations, playability, etc., and Joachim wrote a cadenza which is still used today by violinists, including Gil in this recording. Brahms dedicated the work to Joachim -- who actually opened the premiere performance concert by playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto!

Fascinating stuff. Imagine that, thirty years later having the same performer premiere and contribute on your own violin concerto.

I've been in quite the Beethoven mood this past month. It's difficult finding modern recordings of Beethoven's piano trios which satisfy my personal tastes because it seems performing them in a period-appropriate, HIP approach is the dominant fashion. I'm not outright avoiding those recordings, and indeed I've added a couple to my backlog to be listened to as some point (eg. Immerseel/Beths/Bylsma), but it's not currently my preferred choice, and certainly not what I want every recording to sound like. Anyway, hopefully this is good.

>If you love Ian Bostridge in German lied, you can stop reading here. Go out, buy the disc, and enjoy. But I, and the handful of other people in this world not immune to this tenor’s misadventures in the genre, will continue to bear the burden of membership in the isolated minority who need painkillers to get through this disc. Bostridge doesn’t so much sing Die Schöne Müllerin as deconstruct it to conform to a Freudian subtext. In the course of his adventure into Schubert’s mind via the score of Die Schöne Müllerin, Bostridge subjects the words of the poems and the musical phrases to crooning, teasing, stretching, approximations of pitch, artificial tempo extremes, whispers, scoops, vocal tremors, quavers, and swells, and myriad other violations of musicality such as seasickness-inducing tempo extremes. As if that isn’t enough, even the combined efforts of the CIA and UN inspection teams would be hard pressed to find any example of legato. This CD is a comprehensive catalogue of pretentious mannerisms and artificiality.

Slatkin/Simon and Litton/Hough for 1st, 2nd, 4th, and Kocsis for 3rd. I actually haven't listened to Kocsis other concertos so I might change my mind when I do, but yeah Slatkin and Litton are absolutely the best.

Man, nothing is sounding good today. Maybe I should take a break from classical music for a bit.

What are some musics like Gympedos and Gnossiens by Erik Satie?

>>127288201
I would peep the other French composers with solo piano music, like Poulenc, Faure (>>127287907), Debussy, certain Ravel. Grieg's Lyric Pieces would probably be up your alley.

best Bruckner 8?
preferably with the rhythm in the adagio played very clearly, so no lush "wall-of-sound" type recordings, but rather transparent ones.

I think the usual recommendation here is Boulez/Vienna then. For me, I'd say Blomstedt/Gewandhaus.

boulez is alright but still not how I'd do it. I always felt this rhythm needed more of a "waltz"-y pulse than most conductors give it

Jochum's fine but really isn't the end-all-be-all. Bruckner's music just lends itself to interpretation -- every conductor does it differently, so why not enjoy the wonderful music in multiple shades and colors?

For upmost transparency, I would have to give it to Janowski. It's one of the few recordings that gets the accented syncopations between the trombone and horns correct.
https://youtu.be/Zfmc3E01sv8?list=RDZfmc3E01sv8&t=945
Overall favorite for upmost rhythmic punctuation and is probably Beinum, though. It's also astonishingly transparent for a mono recording. A good stereo alternative would probably be Bohm's live Berlin recording on Testament.

I've been listening to Rachmaninoff Symphonic dances and in the first movement around 9:49 (see timestamped youtube link) percussion instruments give three strong notes in quick succession (the sequence is repeated twice, followed by winds playing the same afterwards):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF9cmCgM8ew&t=588s

I'm 99% percent sure I heard some other classical piece with absolutely the same percussion, although it had a different development. But damn I can't remember where I heard it, maybe some kind anon recognizes this two-second fragment?

>>127291170
Definitely Renaissance.

That's funny because I always think the same thing when I hear that same segment, and I always forget which piece it is that's similar. I'll keep your post in mind and if I remember or come across it, I'll let you know.

But yes, I know the feeling you're talking about. My immediate response is Dvorak's Slavonic Dances but I don't think that's quite right... Tchaikovsky maybe? hmm

Thank you! It's been driving me nuts because I always think it should continue differently but also don't fully remember how.

It's not Dvorak's Slavonic Dances - I just listened to them to check. Although a lot of similar passages (especially Dvořák: Slavonic Dances, Op. 46, B. 83: No. 8 in G Minor. Furiant. Presto and Dvořák: Slavonic Dances, Op. 72, B. 147: No. 7 in C Major. Serbian Kolo. Presto), I certainly see the similarities.

>Say presents 15 of the canonic 21 Nocturnes in startlingly unconventional readings that raise more questions than they answer. ---- Gramophone

guess we'll see what that means

anyone else find it more difficult to listen through long piano cycles than symphonies? for example, an hour-to-hour-and-a-half of symphonic music is no problem, but piano works which last over an hour always considerably tax my attention -- for example, I don't think I've ever listened through the entirety of Bach's Goldberg Variations or Chopin's Nocturnes in one sitting before, at least not while paying attention the entire time, sad as that is to say.

>>127294776
Both are daunting to listen to for 40+ minutes, my attention span does not last longer than that. But I find piano more engaging and easier to listen to and longer lengths, but that's just me.

>>127294943
>and longer lengths,
at*

>>127294943
Performances of Chopin's Nocturnes last anywhere from 100 minutes to 2 hours! Or listening to an entire book of Bach's WTC in one sitting, also crazy. Though I will say I feel the same about choral works too -- 160 minutes to three hours of Bach's St Matthew Passion in one sitting? phew, though I'd imagine in a live concert setting there's intermissions for that

I wonder if it's corruption of modern influences on my attention span or whether I just don't love listening to music as much as some people, those who can listen to music for hours and hours with total focus and doing nothing else; I can do it, but only if there's some browsing the internet or going for a walk involved as well.

>>127294943
>>127294990
For me it depends on a movement to movement basis. If all the movements are captivating the length of the work does not matter for me. But sometimes a certain movement (Usually a slow movement) can really kill the flow for me. Though that slow movements are really hard to captivate me also leads the ones that do to be some of my favorite movements in all of music, so it balances out.

>>127295059
Sokolov looks like Boris Johnson

Papageno scares me in how accurate he is, were incels always made fun of even in those times? ;-;

>>127294990
>I wonder if it's corruption of modern influences on my attention span or whether I just don't love listening to music as much as some people
It's both. The cultural influence mainly, which stems from generally less attention span among all native populations (e.g. backward digit span, a heritable trait, measured from 1923-2008, appears to be declining)

Listen to Klemperer's, it's probably the only good recording.

>>127295748
that is the one i listened to

>>127295750
Well, listen again, or try other recording some other day, all the advice I can give ya. I didn't like Mahler at first either, it comes with time, but it's highly rewarding. Do you like any other Mahler symphony?

>>127295757
this is the first Mahler symphony i have listened to

>>127295761
They're all quite different, but honestly nothing except maybe the 5th clicked immediately, you gotta give it a time. I would suggest you try 2nd a few more times, and/or pick any other symphony - especially 5, 6, maybe 4, 8

>>127295742
you have to be impressionable, a bit of a man-child, in order to enjoy mahler. you have to believe that making lots of noise is being "expressive". you seem to really get mahler, for which i commend you, in that you recognize his music for what it is: a big nothing.

>>127295780

pieces that i have thoroughly enjoyed so far:
Wagner - Lohengrin Prelude, Faust, Rienzi Overture
Rachmaninov - PC 2, Paganini Rhapsody, Symphony 2
Dvořák - Symphony 9
Chopin - Nocturnes, Sonatas 2 & 3, Preludes, Ballades
Medtner - Forgotten Melodies

The same path you're already going.

Then some violin concertos, like Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Schumann, Prokofiev, Shostakovich

also more piano music, like Beethoven's piano sonatas, Mozart's piano sonatas, Bach's Goldberg Variations and WTC, Brahms' solo piano work, Schubert's late piano sonatas, Schumann's solo piano work, etc etc

Does Mahokun like Mahler as much as Bruckner

>>127297228
Mahler is a bit symphony-to-symphony to me. Some bore me a little bit, some are REALLY good (Though every symphony by him has a standout movement). With Bruckner I love everything he composed. I think he his structure is ideal for long-form instrumental works.

If Anton, then Webern.

If Sergei, then Prokomaninoff.

if Wolf, then Gangamadeusmozart

Why is development often so emphasized by people when introducing people to classical music when most of the sonatas and symphonies by mozart and haydn use the development section more as a bridge than a emphasized part of the music

>>127295742
>>127295748
>>127296423
i'll try it again another time, usually when i'm not "feeling" a piece it's just because i wasn't in the mood for what it was doing, i'm sure i'll return to it at some point and enjoy it.

>>127297679

>>127297679
It's not? At least not in my experience. Much more attention is usually given to the exposition and its contrast of themes/keys.

>>127295992
Such boring recommendations

>>127297679
>Why is development often so emphasized by people when introducing people to classical music
Development happens almost all the time in any Mozart and Haydn sonata form structures. You'll rarely hear the theme restated in exactly the same way except for exposition repeat or recap. The theme is constantly evolving and pushing boundries, in the exposition it happens in tonic and dominant key. The development section just takes it a step further with modulations and heightens drama.
I'm not sure if development is "emphasized" to new listeners, but they are pretty important, and often quite long in romantic music, and it's what sets is apart from pre-classical forms as well as pop music.

Was there ever any evidence of Mozart's symphonies being played skipping the repeats?

>>127297769
*In his time?

>>127297740
I mean they're just starting out and those are the essential basics... I'm not gonna recommend them Britten's Cello Concerto or Berg's Violin Concerto or Per Nørgård's symphonies at this juncture, and then names like Elgar, Debussy, Ravel, Weinberg, Berlioz, and so on they can always get to later the next time they ask for a set of recommendations or once they learn to discovered music on their own.

And as always, you're free to make your own recommendations instead of criticizing other's.

One of the essential, if not the essential, Faure solo piano sets to own.

Can't stand the sound of a piano. But no one asked. Excuse me for the outburst.

>>127299001
It has it's issues no one would deny that. It does get fairly grating. The top two notes just sound bad and should be removed

It's the most perfect instrument for me. I can listen to solo piano all day and not get bored at all. Orchestra kinda has a fatigue point though, and so does non-piano chamber music. I don't know why but piano just makes anything "non-fatigueable", piano quintets, trios, piano concertos are all my favorite genres.

>>127299175
indefatigable too :p

the piano is the instrument of the Western mind, the violin its soul, and cello its heart

the penis is the instrument of the Western mind, the vagina its soul, and boypussy its heart

Piano is OK but gets tiresome
Violin can sound really bad solo and in groups
Cello is unlistenable solo

I mean you get solo violin played by supposedly the best players ever and it makes a sound like Huh HUueeeeeeeeee and that's good, thats what they're going for, that's the sound of the violin being played correctly

I like to listen to Roussel's symphonies and pretend they were composed by Debussy :3

When I first got into Prokofiev, I remember finding his string quartets what enjoyable. When I tried them again a couple months ago, they were some of the worst string quartets I'd ever heard. What do you guys think about them?

>>127299210
I think you mean the horn not the cello

Haffner is such a charming little symphony. Find myself coming back to it all the time

Boulez must have been a bigot, an antisemite who refused to gorge on African Land Fish. KOEK.

Bach was an atheist
That's why his music is so soulless

>>127299961
Yeah it's easily the one of his late symphonies I listen to most these days, mainly because it still has some freshness for me, 40 and 41 are too familiar, silly as that may sound.

If Bach were alive in the 1930s/40s, he would have been a card-carrying member of the NSDAP. Bach was an antisemite, like all Christians of the time. If you asked Bach who killed Christ, he would have told you it was the Jews.

I get what you mean, I tend to have that with Prague. I still think it's a great work but I over-listened to it. Though Jupiter I'll probably never get tired of

Ignorant imbecile.

I apologize again for my outburst. I didn't mean "all pianos". Acknowledge your replies. Lots to learn.
