what happened to the BABIAA poster?
>Now that I’ve worked my way through Brahms, I’ve fallen back on Bruckner again. An odd pair of second-raters. The one was “in the casting ladle” [i.e. Peer Gynt] too long, the other not long enough. Now, I stick to Beethoven. There are only he and Richard [Wagner] - and, after them, nobody.

>I have gone all through Brahms by now. All I can say of him is that he's a puny little dwarf with a rather narrow chest. Good Lord, if a breath from the lungs of Richard Wagner whistled about his ears he would scarcely be able to keep his feet. But I don't mean to hurt his feelings. You will be astonished when I tell you where I get more completely bogged down than anywhere else--in his so-called 'developments.' It is very seldom he can make anything whatever of his themes, beautiful as they often are. Only Beethoven and Wagner, after all, could that.

I've been listening to more of Gould's recordings lately, and am I crazy or is his playing almost jazzlike? It's not very pianistic to me at all. No wonder boomers growing up in the heyday of jazz would find his playing so appealing.
or am I hearing patterns and relations which don't exist?

it's probably because Gould's staccato style of playing emphasizes the rhythmic elements of Bach's music. most other pianists have the habit of blurring everything together when playing polyphonic music and the vitality is lost as a result.

Obviously can't forget German Romantic Opera, Freischutz, Vampyr, etc. Did Weber introduce spookiness into music? I think he might have. I don't think 18th century Gothicism ever leaked into music, Romanticism had to come along.

Maybe if Debussy had lived another decade, but as it stands he's a little bit of a disappointment given how much of a genius he was. Wagner found the perfect form for himself and kept improving on it, but Debussy went through that awful middle period and it's like he was constantly experimenting and never really created a magnum opus and there's just so much unevenness.

>The excessive polyphony of Wagner, the chiaroscuro effect of Debussy, the vulgar, impassioned writhing of Massenet are the only things that move or attract the attention of the general public. Yet the clear and consistent music of Saint-Saëns, to which I myself feel most attracted, leaves this same public indifferent. And all that sort of thing gives me a pain in the neck.

perhaps because today venerates selling the souls of children to the devil that you have decided to assume a little too much about anon. one, that he isn't already cool, and two, that he was attempting to be cool. though his post does persuade me if only a little but not all the way to action to put to defense that of someone i hold in high regard (heir mozart) these opinions could be held with genuinely and it is therefore my opinion that you crossed the line. spewing derogatives just because anon has claimed something of his own, no matter the value of the alleged claim, does not entitle you to dawn upon yourself a complex of superiority. allow me to clarify before some confusion sets in, a judgement passed is a judgement received, and a judge, though anon may be qualified, has nonetheless placed himself in a position over he who is being judged and the particpants who are there to witness. for example, a judge sits atop a throne of sorts, above everyone else; a judge declares things that others are forced to oblige; and, a judge has a wardrobe tinged with symbolic death, that of the state.

Grimaud's Bach
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSnv2EkqPr4&list=OLAK5uy_ksDv4vTSQ12ZmCmAZ3zdkWpCX69bCTWCM&index=11
>Helene Grimaud presents her first-ever Bach recording! Once again, charismatic Helene Grimaud presents an album with an individual concept. Bach vs. Bach Transcribed brings together original keyboard works by the master with works by Bach arranged (transcribed) for the piano by pianist-composers of later generations: Busoni, Liszt & Rachmaninov. This is the first time that Hélène Grimaud has recorded Bach - a challenge for any musician. The repertoire includes the famous Well-Tempered Clavier II and the Concerto no. 1 in D minor, the latter performed with Grimaud's regular collaborators, the Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Bach "Transcribed" features the Bach/Busoni version of the Chaconne in D minor, the Violin Partita in E major arranged for piano by Rachmaninov, and Liszt's version of the Prelude and Fugue in A minor. A landmark project in Grimaud's successful career, this recording is bound to be a best-seller.
>"Hélène Grimaud clearly feels the music she performs very deeply . . . Grimaud lacks nothing in power, intensity or technical finesse . . . one encounters a sense of fantasy . . ." -- Classic FM, London, October 2007

Centered around Bach's mystical masterpiece, The Art of the Fugue, Trifonov's project investigates the man behind the myth - a genius of humility and humor, whose loves, losses, and devotion inspired what Trifonov calls "some of humanity's most emotionally rich and fascinatingly sophisticated expressions in music."

gonna spend the weekend exploring the Boston Six
>The Second New England School or New England Classicists (sometimes specifically the Boston Six) is a name given by music historians to a group of classical-music composers who lived during the late-19th and early-20th centuries in New England, United States. More specifically, they were based in and around Boston, Massachusetts, then an emerging musical center. The Second New England School is viewed by musicologists as pivotal in the development of an American classical idiom that stands apart from its European ancestors.
>The specific "Boston Six" are named as John Knowles Paine (1839–1906), Arthur Foote (1853–1937), George Chadwick (1854–1931), Amy Beach (1867–1944), Edward MacDowell (1861–1908), and Horatio Parker (1863–1919).[4] Other composers associated with the group include Edgar Stillman Kelley (1857–1944), George Whiting (1861–1944), and Arthur Batelle Whiting (1861–1936). These composers were greatly influenced by German Romantic tradition, either through direct study with Germans or by association with German-trained musicians in America. Their works were published by Arthur P. Schmidt, the most important music publisher of that time.[5]

>"Chopin is reserved, visionary and mysterious," says Beatrice Rana. "There are many layers to his music. It's pleasing to the ear and sincere in it's communication, but the deeper you go, the more you find..." For this album, Rana pairs Chopin's 12 op 25 études with his four scherzi, focusing on two musical genres that the composer, combining intellect and imagination, transformed into something new. "It was Chopin who invented the 'concert study'," explains Rana. "To me, the études seem implicitly connected, joined by a single line of expression, as if they are taking you on a journey. The scherzi are evocative pieces, full of contrasts... They represent three distinct stages of Chopin's life and creativity and it is easy to read stories into them."
>When Beatrice Rana played the op 25 études for her New York recital debut in 2019, the New York Times wrote: "If you can play Chopin's études comfortably, you can probably play anything written for the piano... and the best performances convey their musical riches. In that regard, Beatrice Rana set a new standard... She didn't just surmount the technical challenges; she made the pieces sound as poetic and colorful as anything Chopin ever wrote.

Surely one of the most essential cycles for Mozart's piano sonatas.
>Mahler declares that Brahms shunned so many useful techniques and innovations in orchestration merely out of obstinacy and opposition to Wagner. In his chamber music, such devices are by no means absent, on the contrary, he shows himself a master in their use.
>Later, Mahler added: ‘Brahms is not concerned with breaking all bonds and rising above the grief and life of this earth to soar up into the heights of other, freer and more radiant spheres. However profoundly, however intimately and idiosyncratically he handles his material, he remains imprisoned in this world and this life, and never attains the view from the summit. Therefore, his works can never, and will never, exercise the highest, ultimate influence.’

Nah, he's right. Established elder in question is Beethoven, not Brahms.
Brahms should've embraced Schubertian, Chopinian and Lisztian ideals before Wagner did, and he would've had the chance to climb higher than them. But he didn't.

I'd say there's enough craftsmanship to Brahms' work that they are very worthwhile pieces of art. I do agree with Mahler on the metaphysical aspects of his work, but that's mostly a reflection of his personality and belief outside of music.
Still, craftsmanship I find a worthwhile metric in it's own right, it's not like we always judge a fugue by it's emotional characteristics. I still love Brahms

So Rudolf Buchbinder has three complete cycles of Beethoven's piano sonatas, one for RCA/Sony (2011), one for EMI/Warner (1973-81), and one for DG/Unitel (recorded in 2014, released in 2021). Pretty interesting to hit all of the big labels like that. Has anyone tried all three? His newest one, the one on DG that gets posted here, is quite solid, great even. It'll be fun to see his growth as a pianist and interpreter of Beethoven.
let's use the second movement of, say, the 27th for comparison
EMI/Warner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSfibJmxdmk&list=OLAK5uy_kQN3TtOeQMR6n_7y2K9hkc_0rP3_t74Uo&index=85
DG (so this release has his complete DG Beethoven recordings -- in order, the variations, piano sonatas, lastly piano concertos -- what's both funny and stupid however is they stuck the 14th Piano Sonata, Moonlight, at the very beginning of the set kek, so on the CD with the sonatas, it just skips from 13 to 15, ridiculous)

How? If AI makes it so you can't tell the difference between it and a live recording then we've hit a /classical/ golden age.
I feel like tone poems should have stayed with vague moods for pieces with otherwise clearly defined form like Liszt wrote them often. Needing a foreword to understand the form of a piece is fucking gay. Hunnenslacht is a great ternary form scherzo-ish movement and the context is there to give it strong imagery. Compare that to something like Franscesca di Ramini by Tchaikovsky and it's incomprehensible if you never read the Divine Comedy and its still unclear after you know the story. I shouldn't be thinking "uhh okay this represents what exactly?" in a piece of music. If you want to put narrative to music write an opera you daft cunt

Well, I don't always do it, but maybe you should give it a try. It's the same exact concept as what they're trying to accomplish with concert programs and recordings with mixed pieces. Not JUST Mahler's 6th but Strauss' Metamorphosen or Death and Transfiguration first? hell yeah. Beethoven's Razumovsky quartets? Almost always as a trio. Beethoven's Egmont or Lenore before one of his symphonies? Why not. Sibelius' Finlandia or Tapiola before his 4th or 5th? very nice. Stuff like that.
Pollini's Beethoven piano sonatas cycle is probably the best one to start with IMO. Technically flawless, interpretive middleground, completely idiomatic, perfect balance of emotion and virtuosity without verging into sentimental excess or deficit, and of course, everything sounds great.

undisputable top keyboard composers
bach
beethoven

Guilty. I just go through phases like this -- some of those phases contain more diversity, some of them don't. Fortunately Beethoven wrote tons of piano sonatas and there's just as many worthwhile recordings of them, so I can get a lot of juice out of this phase. It'll change soon, don't worry.

Shostakovich should have spent more time composing more piano sonatas, he'd rank among the greatest too.

Well firstly he wrote plays not books , you're supposed to watch them not sit around reading the script. Yes if all you read was Shakespeare you would be missing out massively

don't tell anyone but I did on occasions post recordings and express opinions with equal consideration of knowing it'd get a rise out of them, ex. now that they're gone, I find myself not enjoying Barenboim's recordings nearly as much kek

If anything, Bach and Beethoven don't belong anywhere near the level of Chopin and Liszt. Haydn is even more laughable. Consider Prokofiev, Scriabin, Fauré, you absolute clown
