sounds like a cope from someone who doesn't even have perfect and relative pitch.

I do have relative pitch. I learned it. You sound like you are coping because you are suffering from insomnia at the psych ward.

I'm not the sister poster.

its a six of one situation.

name a classical piece anywhere near as good as Oofarang and I will literally send you 500,000 V-Bucks

ok, this is pretty close to Oofarang... but I need your date of birth, mother's maiden name, picture of your bank card (both sides), sort code, street you grew up on, first school you attended to send you the V-Bucks saar

anyone else really, really love Schumann's Carnaval?

''Davis and the LSO triumph in this recording... In this gripping performance, [Symphony No 6] emerges as one of the 20th century's most beguilingly original works.'' --The Sunday Times (UK)

''This second CD lives up to the high standard set by its predecessor.'' --Financial Times

For Bach's WTC, are the pieces and the key they're in interchangeable?

no

So the composition for Prelude in C-Major was conceived of and designed specifically for that and wouldn't sound as good transposed to G-minor? And it's not all about the relationship and ratio of the notes to each other but the notes themselves? Just checking, thanks.

it's mostly about a theme's playability and readability when transposed to a particular key.

D-harmonic minor for example is often a default for music in the minor key because it fits both the treble clef and the right hand very well.

the era of good album covers was maybe 30 years altogether. completely gone now, like so much else now, probably never to return.

looks like the poster to a 70s sci fi film

yeah it could probably use a photo of a pillow or a pair of shoes or something

or a fuckin chinaman

What good productions of the ring cycle are there on spotify? I've listened too much to Böhm, centenary, solti, karajan and leinsdorf so I need something new

stop listening to wagner. save yourself before it's too late

Is Keilberth on there? He got some old and faithful Ring recordings.

Listen to more Jordi Savall
or Ensemble Organum
or Anonymous 4
or Hilliard Ensemble
or Huelgas Ensemble
or Gothic Voice
or Orlando Consort
or Ensemble Clément Janequin
etc

I can't quite place it, but these recent recordings, the production is fantastic and performances on point, even exciting, however it's like they're missing a... soul or something. Maybe I'm just crazy.

Every so often a recording comes out that is so powerful, so comprehensive in its interpretive vision, that it not only makes the music sound completely new, it forces a complete reappraisal of the music's overall significance. Georg Tintner's Bruckner Third is one such recording. In fact, it offers such a fundamental reappraisal of this music that it's safe to say that until you hear this recording, you have not heard Bruckner's Third Symphony. --- Hurwitz

Favorite live performance you've attended?

What's some good underrated Bach?

I don't even remember what was being played, but once I saw a quartet playing at the Berlin Philharmony and it was so joyful to see them harmonize with each other and having fun. I'll never forget that experience.

thanks HIPster sister

I was listening to his Sacrifice earlier, huh.

Faust is such a cool family name, I'm incredibly jealous.
