This thread is for the discussion of music in the Western classical tradition.

How do I get into classical?

No, I mean my quartet ensemble is called 'The Sextet,' hence 'The Sextet Quartet.' It's a joke, anon.

Dangerously based edition

Lettberg is fucking garbage, anon. Listen to Sofronitsky, Richter, Feinberg, Horowitz, Ashkenazy, or Hamelin.

While I agree Scriabin's music does benefit from a certain masculine approach, so too does it from a feminine approach and Lettberg excels at it. Hers is the set I listen to most often these days, but of course it shouldn't be the only one one has.

Also nice to have, for modern recordings, are Alexeev and Ohlsson.

Horowirz is better for sure. But sometimes I listen to Lettberg since I have her whole solo piano set on my harddrive. She's not bad.

Lettberg excels at it

No, she really doesn't. She's technically a sloppy pianist and has no clue how to phrase Scriabin's music properly to make it coherent.

She's not bad

She's not bad insofar as she's a professional pianist, but Scriabin's music requires pianists who are not only technically perfect but also truly 'get it'.

Scriabin's music requires pianists who are not only technically perfect but also truly 'get it'.

That's literally true for the music of all great composers.

That's obviously true, but the key distinction here is the level of difficulty in comprehending the composer. It's easier to immediately understand or 'get' Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, or Liszt than Scriabin.

an announcement had been made recently on gathering bohm's schubert masterwerke series. it had gone without a response, so today i am redoubling my efforts by reviving that request. specifically, for nos. 1-2, 5-6, & 8-9.

It's not like you can tell their jews when your listening to them

why does that matter?

Why let anti semitism ruin a beautiful performance?

why do you suppose it's antisemitic to be particular on who gets let into someone's library? is this another one of your virtue signaling episodes?

Baroque*

I dont listen to Jews

Why yes I have a perfectly valid reason for it unrelated to anti semitism

K

i'm not the anon who made the initial statement, and you still haven't answered the question.

Satanic&Mystic edition.

Finally an edition for me.

On the current scene many observers would say that Gustavo Dudamel is the best conductor, certainly the most charismatic, presiding over a major American orchestra, and there might be an argument that Andris Nelsons and Esa-Pekka Salonen (soon to arrive in San Francisco) are just as eminent.

hmm

speaking of the differences between Bernstein's phases, here's an interesting illustrative example, going from this....

...to this

Gonna listen to the 'second phase,' longer one, hopefully it's good, because I remember the first one on Sony being dreadful.

I'm gonna start keeping a text file of all of my favorite Bach cantatas, it's impossible to keep track of all the different recordings and remembering which exact pieces I loved. Don't know how some of you guys do it. Listening to BWV 8 right now.

youtube.com/watch?v=Hfkq-S7Vis8

as they say, a Bach cantata a day keeps the Gould Ghoul away!

I need to make an inventory of all the Bach cantatas that I have on cd. I reckon I have at least a hundred or so scattered throughout individual discs and boxed-sets.

Can't stand cantatas. Can't stand human voice excepting the rare cases.

Seems like the general is a Bach thread this Saturday. Anyway, 78 minutes for the Goldberg. Lets try it.

Very cool, and that's what I'm saying. My text file is gonna be:

BWV # - (conductors for recordings, eg munchinger, richter, herreweghe, suzuki, lutz)

that should be a good way to keep track. But yeah you ought to as well.

You'll learn to love it, at least for choral music, impossible to not enjoy.

Thanks, added

Nice, I'm jealous.

all the Bach cantatas that I have on cd

Show pic

Maybe later

turgid recording
jesus christ, how dire

the residential music critic hasn't even waken up and the thread looks terrible, but i guess that's expected considering op's theme.

it's expected because you're indian LOL

Scriabin raped your mind.

what is expected, sister-kun?

nah, it was more the brain eating amoeba that live in the ganges river than scriabinceldom.
the same thing that was expected in this indian post

can you explain to me with words what exactly was expected in that post?

presumably the thread looking terrible, but i'm not one so pompous as to claim to know the intentions of barely literate indians.

the thread looked terrible because...?

Here's most of. Still missing a few discs, I guess. Sorry for the shitty pic (as usual)

The box at the bottom is Rotzsch. (The Herreweghes are boring btw.)

who knows, probably because there wasn't enough shit in the street for his liking.

allow me to explain what seems to be difficult for you to express. first, the word expected was used by me before you, which means you adopted the usage of it from another person. second, what was expected is that the thread would look terrible considering op's theme. third, that the thread would deteriorate even more than it already had if the residential music critic, that's you, was around to participate.

pills time.

if you want to point out grammatical errors, such as my use of waken, then by all means do so, but calling me an indian isn't going to solve the more pertinent problems. namely, this inability to explain the substance of a post. that characteristic, the inability to explain the substance of a post, is a cornerstone of your presence. notably, its features are marked by a disregard of context when arguments are no longer in your favor.

turgid recording

I actually switched to the ones from the Blomstedt/Dresden cycle, they were fantastic! Might be my new favorite for those two pieces, or at least tied.

pills time, saaaaaaaar

can you explain what you mean by pills time?

1717956061545.png - 1000x1000, 257.35K

really no reason to listen to either blomstedt nor bohm when munch and szell exist.
that it's time to take your pills, saaaaaaaar

yes, you said that. but what do you mean by pills?

What is the point of Liszt?

your antipsychotics, saaaaaaaaar

I guess he made some decent piano transcriptions

how are antipsychotics relevant to our chain of replies?

you haven't taken yours, saaaaaaaar.

what about my most recent posts imply that i need to be on antipsychotics?

the lady doth protest too much, saaaaaar. please take your pills.

post your top 5 operas

I tried...

I should listen to those ones again next, they are very good. Not to reignite the same discussion we've had a million times by now, but the way I've started looking at recordings as if I were seeing a rotation of visiting conductors and orchestras at the local concert hall, and it's not like it's gonna be Szell and Munch or whomever one's absolute favorites are coming every time to play the Schubert 8 and 9 -- sometimes it'll be other familiar favorites and enjoyable performances, and sometimes it'll be unfamiliar ones to try (ala trying out new recordings). Basically just not the same ones over and over, no matter if I do think they are the very best.

I know you don't agree but that's the most fun way for me to go about it.

sounds like you require constant novelty to compensate for your low attention span, instead of actually enjoying the pieces themselves.

His style and the emotions his music evokes are unique imo, especially in combination with his compositional genius. What I get from Liszt I don't get from anyone else.

Holy autism spam. How has this garbage general survived this long?

Satanic&Mystic

Scriabin was about opposites, so how about Christian and meditative as well.

durufle fucking sucks cock, tranime sister

Well that's it, the fix is in! These are the best composers, represented in correct order, objectively speaking.

The list.png - 870x1364, 255.8K

Ohnonono Mehler bros...

Truly the opinions of a bot poster on Anon Babble 24/7 365 is someone to take notice of, thank you sisterspammer.

What is this based on, democratic voting?

Without novelty how can you get to know new composers or performers?

Well that's rude. Maybe I enjoy them so much I wanna hear it performed in a multitude of ways, while still revisiting my favorites often.

Fucking great anon, nice collection.

Very nice.

truly the opinions of a pedophilic tranime faggot are worth taking notice of, thank you tranime sister.
novelty in and of itself is not a problem. it's prioritizing novelty over appreciation of the composition that is.
or maybe you struggle to enjoy the music for what it is and require it to be constantly futzed around with by different egomaniacs in order to maintain your interest.

no u

NGMI Iass.

thank you tranime pedophile

Yup, you caught me, I don't actually like classical music, all the enjoyment comes from being able to add as many names and recordings as possible to my mental catalogue; the larger it grows, the more fun I have. Is that what you want to hear because you can't imagine people doing things differently? You'd have a point if I *never* listened to any recording again once I've heard it, but that obviously isn't the case.

You'd have a point if I *never* listened to any recording again once I've heard it, but that obviously isn't the case.

is it really though? all i hear is that you "need to revisit" XYZ recording because it's been ages since you last heard it. as far as i can tell, you effectively never hear most recordings more than once or twice.

Honestly have the last reply, I imagine you plan on spamming it up with someone else anyways. Today, the day after, the day after that day, the day after the day which was after the day, and so on and so forth.

Why would you even reply seriously to some guy who lives the way he does? I mean do you ever think about the actual person you are communicating with? Imagine having a discussion about new experiences and if they are worth seeking out, with some guy who sits here spamming a single general for 16+ hours a day.

I can't tell who is more retarded: the zombiefied spammer probably drooling from doing the exact same thing day in day out, or the person asking the drooling zombie on his opinions about new experiences.

Then again its 4cuck.org, who else are you going to talk to here L M F A O

the tranime pedophile got absolutely mindbroken LOL

all i hear is that you "need to revisit" XYZ recording because it's been ages since you last heard it.

Yes, because those ones aren't my favorites or on my rotation to where I play them often as is (or I just don't listen to the work that often, as is the case with Schubert 8 & 9).

as far as i can tell, you effectively never hear most recordings more than once or twice.

Only because of outside of providing recommendations, I don't post about my favorite recordings as what's the point? I only post when I'm trying something different. Like I've said, I try to do half the time recordings I already love, and half unfamiliar or not on my usual rotation of ones to listen to for that work.

Durufle is so underrated.

Is there any time the shlomosister isn't here? every time i come here it's always him bickering and overshadowing actual discussion

If you wanna discuss something, start it up!

he's actually overrated, he should be rated as total dogshit.
great question schizo sister. if you want somewhere i'm never on, you can try Anon Babbleclassical.

Today is saturday. I will order a huge cheeseburger along with a large soda. Then I will scroll through my music folder to find the perfect recording of Wagner's Parsifal. After finishing my appetizer meal, I will order a hot cocoa from my favorite coffee shop that will go perfectly well with the opera.

er, 51*, obviously lol

You are right, I actually have it. Thanks for pointing it out.

LOL, his requiem is dogshit

I've also added 210 & 211, which I found in a Suzuki box.

I remember the first time I heard it, it was the Shaw Berlioz/Durufle recording. I was letting it play through without looking at the tracks and loving the Berlioz Requiem until I started hearing the Durufle one and it was a complete surprise, as I didn't know Requiems could sound like that! I immediately played it again I enjoyed it so much. I need to explore his other choral music for sure, I'll check out the one you posted, thanks.

I didn't know Requiems could sound like that!

yeah, never before has so shitty a requiem been written. most of the time, composers who tackle the genre have an actual grasp on form as opposed to writing random bullshit with no relation to the text.

Nice! Thanks.

Sometimes an outsider's perspective is required for a refreshing take. It's the quintessential modern 20th century Requiem.

Damn this is so good

you mispelt revolting, and there are no good 20th century requiems. the fact that it was merely modernistic in an era when everyone else had already moved on to postmodernism speaks volumes.

One of the best recordings of one of the all-time greatest string quartets. Also if you remove the 'music.' in the URL it becomes a link to a regular YouTube playlist, which I find is better for sharing on here (better yet, the first video of the playlist).

not Ligeti

It really is astonishing that Ligeti's Requiem can be utilized so many times and have such a hold on pop culture, and yet you still hear something new every time you listen to it. There’s a 50 year graveyard of pieces that try to emulate Ligeti’s micropolyphonic music, but can you imagine being the first person to write like that? There was zero precedent for music like that before Ligeti. He expressed emotions that had never been expressed before in art. It’s also astonishing that after centuries of Catholic tradition, a Transylvanian Jew came along and beat every previous composer at their own game. Ligeti wrote the greatest requiem of all time despite viewing the religious tradition behind the form as, at best, a fascination. If anything, that distance is key: Ligeti understood Catholicism as a vehicle for complex horrors, which is the perfect foundation for a work informed by his experience during the Holocaust. I don’t think a true believer could have done that as effectively.

the fact that it was merely modernistic in an era when everyone else had already moved on to postmodernism speaks volumes.

Yes, he wanted to write good, listenable music.

stale pasta

Yes, he wanted to write good, listenable music.

he evidently failed, because his requiem is neither good nor listenable.

Takacs is so bad at Schubert

Yeah Durufle really has his own style, plainsong melody with impressionist harmony, really gives his pieces something that no one else has. I think people get too caught up obsessions about musical narratives of the transition from tonal to atonal, as if there was nothing else to explore in between. Now that the revolution and excitement is over, hopefully people will go back and look to flesh out what was left behind in the rush to the next shiny thing. If you like his style of Requim there is also Faure which he based his own on, its more contemplative in nature in comparison to the usual Requim just as with Durufle.

Nice thing about Durufle (and also bad in another way) is that "checking out his other choral works besides the Requim" is like 30 minutes of your time to say you know all his chorals. Its really just 4 Motets + Cum Jubilo + Requim and then a single tiny minute long strangler. Hell all his organ pieces together also only reach like an hour worth of playtime. Not a big investment to listen to them all, and I guarantee you won't say a second of it was a waste of time.

youtube.com/watch?v=lWUCxvi4uo0

Of course, I don't think there is anyone who likes organ music that dislikes Durufle. There is a serenity to his pieces that also comes with quite a bit of power too, a strange mix of calming and yet inspiring or full or awe. I imagine it must be this way to communicate his dedication to his faith, and how one should feel in the presence of the Lord. The prelude for his suite is another favorite of mine, fantastic piece.

youtube.com/watch?v=IzpnwjnVG-g

The first one I linked is mid But this one is best ever.
Listening, but not as rhythmic and exciting and fast as the Takacs so far.

you misspelt great
boring boring set, the italianos struggle so much with form and momentum.
all of durufle's music is a waste of time, his voice leading is full of awkward, nonsensical leaps and he had no comprehension of the relation between text structure and musical structure. the fact that his requiem has a baritone solo part that sings a total of 3 phrases of music (yes, seriously) should speak volumes about how thoughtful his music actually is.

Janacek
Wagner
Schubert
Mahler

Er, whoops, I made a mistake, the Shaw recording I was talking about had Faure/Durufle, the usual pairing lol. I used to really like the Faure Requiem but lately it hasn't been doing it for me. Still lovely music I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. And ah lol, then I should really get on to listening to his few other stuff.

That's what's great about so many string ensembles: flavors for everyone! My bias is I just generally prefer the uber-romantic sound lol, even for Mozart I love the Italiano set. But yeah, glad you love the Takacs one, can't go wrong there.

the fact that his requiem has a baritone solo part that sings a total of 3 phrases of music (yes, seriously)

My guy. No wonder I love it so much.

mentally retarded

they have my favorite 16th Beethoven

Status: (du)ruffle'd

this general never shuts up about the fucking hagen quartet, are you new here?

yes

status: mentally retarded

Calm down, it's just a way of saying that's his favorite. Did you see your crush give her number to the Karajanchad in your class or something, and that's why in you're in such a foul mood today?

class

on a saturday

speaking of mentally retarded

then lurk moar

it's just a way of saying that's his favorite

an inflamatory way which calls for an inflamatory response

That's fair. I suppose that was also your way of saying "yes we know how great their Schubert is," so I retract my statement.

i see i have strayed into a tense situation here

i was just saying the hagen death and the maiden is extremely good and was surprised it wasn't mentioned when people were discussing the best and i wish you all a nice day

Everyone's just joshin', we're all friends here, and we agree Hagen's Schubert is bomb :D

Link Hagen's Death and the Maiden I literally cab't find it

Tell me about the Hagen Quartet please.

very well

we're all friends here

there's about 3 posters here I GENUINELY hope die in pain so I can't agree with you there

For those who put The Death and the Maiden in your top 5 SQ's, what are your other top favorites?

Insomniac opinion not needed.

a bunch of austrians who have a couple good schubert and beethoven recordings. no complete cycles of either unfortunately, but they did do a complete mozart cycle that no one ever talks about.

youtube.com/watch?v=dvYYXHpEcGE

the usual pairing lol

I was wondering what you were talking about since Faure/Durufle are basically paired together so often that they are inseparable, and I didn't even know someone had paired him with Berlioz of all people.

then I should really get on to listening to his few other stuff.

Well it was something like 35 minutes in between my reply and your post, which would have been literally (literally) enough time to listen to the rest of his Choral works lol. Its basically zero investment and all gain. Good luck.

I can't say I have, I like the strange space right before atonality (although I do enjoy that too + microtonality afterwards) and anything before that is probably going all the way back to Baroque or Renaissance. Probably why I like Durufle so much, hes like a strange enigma of the very far past and the time when tonality was being picked apart but not quite yet. Stuff like Shubert is a bit saccharine for me, there is a lack of mystic or purity that I would prefer to be there, it also always feels a bit non-genuine and dishonest.
Also Piano/Organ > string quartets.

That being said, Schubert's The Death and the Maiden: LISTENING! Actually I am finished it now, I suppose it was exactly what I was expecting. Around the 3/4 mark of the fourth movement I almost though there was something interesting happening, only to fall back asleep to sappy tragedy again.

Frankly I think the artwork on the cover is far more interesting to me, I can't for the life of me find the artist no matter how I search for. That was the real important part of this piece to me lol.

mental retard who listens to rach and durufle cannot comprehend schubert

it finally all makes sense

mentally retard

Ironic post sister, pay a bit more attention to the spam would ya? This place has a reputation to uphold after all.

actually deletes his post to correct some garbage spam no one gives two fucks about

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA

1410669407946.jpg - 519x600, 75.81K

yes, forgive me for paying more attention to my posts than durufle paid to his compositions.
also rich complaint coming from the guy who thinks it's spelt "shubert" ROFL

Sorry its Shubart* right? Wouldn't want to misspell the name of one of many saccharine pop-composers that I disrespect daily.

saccharine pop composers

but enough about shartmaninoff

Its only enough about Rach if you would also throw away Shaburt.

nah, it's just shartmaninoff and fagkovsky.

Best part is that you buzzwords ladden names are so lazy and poorly thought out that I don't even know who the second one is referencing. Either way, as always - enjoy the last reply, doing anything else is better than "speaking" with you.

you buzzwords ladden

holy shit LOL, your command of the english langauge is falling apart by the second

I don't even know who the second one is referencing

that has more to do with you being illiterate than anything else.

your command of the english langauge is falling apart by the second

the irony

woman composer

I would prefer not to.

that sentence is perfectly coherent, but i wouldn't expect an ESL like you to be able to tell the difference.

We need Wagner to save this general.

Oi I said I wasn't replying, that doesn't mean you go and reply instead! Best to just let go, after all, just imagine being here 16 hours a day writing up bot posts all day, every day. I don't even mean "imagine" like Anon Babble usually does as a buzzword, I do mean it, IMAGINE being this poor sod. Do anything besides NEET on Anon Babble for the rest of your life and you've already won. No need to fight for last replies, just exist in any better state than that and you attain victory.

it's so funny how you complain about buzzwords and act like you're so above Anon Babble culture while resorting to buzzwords as your only insult. i can assure you no amount of listening to knockoff plainchant or hallmark christmas movie music will ever help you to "exist in any better state" than me LOL, but keep trying.

langauge

Better delete it

nah, i'll pass LOL

this is a new low even for you, sister. earlier in this thread you had called anon tranime faggot and tranime sister within the same sentence which outright ignores the lessons on redundancy that we had the other day. now all of a sudden you're deleting posts, after referring to anons as indians and sarrs, just to make small corrections. is everything okay?

pills time

Can you fuck off back to /metal/, Fagtor? Growing tired of your garbage spam.

is hector the one shilling for fucking durufle? LOL

Yeah, the faggot posting babby's first art as well.
Tends to reply to his own posts with "Wow this is the best thing ever"

babby's first art

Whats the adult art if you don't mind sharing?

that’s incredibly embarrassing LMAO, keeps in line with why something as simple as schubert (and the english language) is beyond him.
no, i don’t think we’re interested in sharing anything with you, hector.

Probably a selfie of himself seething upon realizing he doesn't actually know a single painter to begin with.

Classical is beyond him, he ought to return to the metal brainlets.

Classical (era) is beyond him

Correct.

how many generals does this faggot plan to ruin?

real as fuck
what a sad state of existence
innumerable, hector only exists to be a retarded faggot.

hector listening to the faggot pajeet, how fitting

the only time I see our resident autist become mindbroken is when the Anon Babble final boss arrives

Anon Babble final boss

Maybe if the boss was a QTE
Reminder that his favorite artist donated to a tranny charity in order to distance himself from Hector

in fucking credible, imagine being such a turd that even trannies are preferable to you.

Which classical composer would do something similar?

obviously vagner
not /classical/, try instead

Wuorinen was a faggot?

not just a faggot but a married faggot.

He was married to his longtime partner and manager, Howard Stokar

And in turn, the finalization of modern classical's sonic death: Stockhausen.

youtube.com/watch?v=l_UHaulsw3M

Peak alienation, dehumanized, unrecognition. Its rather curious how well the painting world lines up with the musical. Like Cage's 4'33" with the eventual white on white canvas, or the museums that hold nothing in them.

^
How embarrassing

no one impressed, hector.

imagine being filtered by Stockhausen

noooo you have to make the same boring orchestral melodies for thousands of years!!

sorry hector, we're just not interested.

All media moves together, most say a representation of the spirit of said time. Now there is no defined movement, only a lot of lost people in a million little niches soon to be blown away by the upcoming technological revolution. I suppose the interesting part is that classical might see a revival, because in order to know you aren't listening to AI you will have to see people playing the music in the real world. Or maybe it will just be lost altogether, and music will simply be an always-on piece of furniture ever evolving and contorting to your preference as defined by the AI that you use. We only have a short time left on forums and the like afterall, already I fear the dead internet theory becomes more and more real, and yet most people spent this short time left being what amounts to a bot anyways, a microcosm of most life itself I guess! Maybe the fear is unfounded, maybe an actual bot is more preferable to most people who themselves are crypto-bots?

The early 1900's seemed like a time of strength, change, and movement; at least for some who called themselves futurists anyways.

Total opposite. It would really be nice to see more posting of contemporary art using non-traditional ideas, but society in general seems to be locked into nostalgia, we are not in times of strength or movement, but rather cowardice and stale recycling. All the generals (and boards) on this site are like this, endless worship of the past for little reason than it being in the past. I suppose when one is frightened it is easier to stick with the known, rather than the limitless future.

Holy fucking shit what pathetic drivel

no one is interested, hector

this attempt at an intellectual post might be the cringeworthy shit i have ever read in my 15+ years of Anon Babble

the Western classical tradition

I love that gif but don't understand your post
accurate description of both Anon Babble, /class/, and half of Anon Babble

accurate description of both Anon Babble, /class/, and half of Anon Babble

no, just hector.

Its actually the one point where Anon Babble would have a purpose too, because unlike every other genre, classical has no great catalog site to find new music or compositions, in fact even well known composers are often missing many pieces entirely, nevermind newer ones who might as well just be impossible to find. Most of Anon Babble feels a bit redundant because of the birth of sites like rym, lastfm, or spotify, so you can excuse to poor quality posting in that regard, but it is always a shame that /classical/ is the same despite potentially having some form of worth to it unlike the rest.

But nope, just endless three B shilling you could find in .2 milliseconds by searching reddit, and its everyday too, same handful of composers over and over again, having the same discussions that are already archived 7 times over.

Oh well, anyways, heres some Tenny.

intellectual post

If thats what you perceive it to be, then you have only insulted yourself. I'm just posting my thoughts on things, maybe someone else has thoughts on things too and would like to talk about things like you are suppose to on social media like this. Or I forgot, you are a bot who only speaks as a bot does, prepping us well for the dead internet to come forth, thank you sisterspammer!

it describes the spammer too so no not just Hector

no one is interested, hector
nah, just hector.
