Daniel Rogers
Why is Baroque opera so gay?
Oliver Martin
Bartok: 9"
Cameron Lewis
probably malnutrition as a child, he was dirt poor. Probably same reason mozart was too, traveling on the road, not much food for days.
Ian Campbell
Lol who? I've listened to over 6 Miles Davis albums and 3 John Coltrane albums and I haven't even heard of this guy
Gabriel Scott
This guy don't know what he's saying. The French baroque favoured more austere bass and baritone voices, and prefered heroic or religious themes, unlike the Italian counterpart. As for costumes, perhaps the French baroque opera looked richer because it was a court enterprise of the richest king in the world.
William Sanders
but his music sounds mighty and huge
Tyler Hernandez

Grayson Kelly
oh but he was.
Mason Mitchell
This right here is amazing, I just could never get into Baroque opera it seems
I love Rameau especially his Keyboard chamber, and orchestral suites
One of the best Frenchies imo

Mason Collins
Why don't composers write magical or fairy tale classical anymore that transports you to another world?
How come modern theatrical works don't have the same magic as Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Delibes, Ravel, or Bartok?

also nutrition back then was generally sub par unless you were of merchant class or nobility.
David Ramirez
Yup his music is beautiful and you can hear the innovations in his style.
sigh
sup bog
true
Isaiah Myers
What does /classical/ think of Peter Maxwell Davies?
Bentley Rogers
DG finally released a 24/96 download of the Karajan Ring. will be interesting to see if they actually fixed the numerous problems with this recording, or if they just reissued the old remaster for a quick buck
Rameau is pretty top tier, yeah. even if the recitatives in his operatic works are wearisome, they're still worth listening to and of course you can just get the orchestral excerpts.
Castor et Pollux is probably my favorite.

Daniel Baker
>it took you 3 whole minutes to shoop out the other (you)
only one person is capable of having such outrageously bad taste as to rate Hack Williams above Mahler, and it's you, Petzold memer.
Josiah Mitchell
Fuck off Kike, Mahler is like Wagner but nasty and smells like Gefilte fish
Brody Butler
Mahler is faggoty, over-blown Romantic sewage just like Wagner and the only defense you have for your shit taste is "dude samefag lmao dude ur a memer lmao."
Nolan Campbell
>nasty and smelly
this is all petzold memer can amount to lol
Juan Bailey
Haydn
Debussy
Mahler
Shostakovich
Vaughan Williams
Only really like Haydn and Debussy, though.
>Vaughan Williams above Mahler
I don't like Mahler either but that's retarded. Williams was a musical conservative who never amounted to anything remotely interesting. At least Mahler inspired revolutionaries.
Christopher Smith
Liszt looks like da real pimp nigga
bet he's slappin dat piano like a bizznatch
Kevin Parker
>Williams was a musical conservative
There is nothing wrong with this cut this fucking meme out. Poulenc, Saint Saens and Mendy were all musical conservatives and all wrote great music.
Ferneyhough inspired revolutions, Schnittke did, Rachmaninoff did but this doesn't make them great.
Daniel Cook
There is when the result is nothing musically interesting. All of VW's music is trash. It's the epitome of sappy late-romanticism that had clearly and thoroughly lost its place. It was wholly irrelevant then, and it isn't interesting now. Why bother listening to VW when a dozen-or-more composers did the exact same thing he did, but far more interesting.
Mendy wrote shit music for the most part and only has 5 good compositions btw. Ironically his biggest effect on the musical community was the reintroduction of Bach.
Saint-Saens is actually good, but he isn't really all that conservative. His 5th Piano Concerto anticipates a lot of what we see in Bartok, Janacek, and other 20th century compositions.
Ryder Martin
Composer tidbit: The composer Pierre Alamire was also a spy for Henry VIII. He snuck coded messages into his music between the French and English courts and gave the Brits important info.
Jace Smith
>Mendelssohn
>great music
Ironically he got more boring as he got older. Mendelssohn's younger compositions are far more interesting than much of the ones that he did when he was older. A few exceptions, perhaps. But these are not the rule.
>Rachmaninoff
>one of the most conservative and boring composers drenched in outdated romanticisim
>inspired revolutions
Name 5 relevant and good composers that were inspired by Rachmaninoff.
Ethan Martin
>Why bother listening to VW when a dozen-or-more composers did the exact same thing he did, but far more interesting.
Because at least VWs romantic garbage is usually under an hour and a half.
Rachmaninoff inspired neo-romanticism probably more than any other composer. I think you missed the point of my post
Ethan Richardson
>neo-romanticism
>revolutions
Tyler Ortiz
Ah, I see. You have ADD. I understand now; you want romantic garbage, but you can't concentrate for longer than 20 minutes. I suppose within this context VW is a good choice for you.
Tyler Smith
>Semantics
You could've criticized me for using Schnittke as an example because he literally did nothing but you had to actually choose a composer who pioneered a style of music
>Dude ADD lmao
This is the same answer Romanticfaggots give when you can't enjoy a sloppy 2 and a half hour aural handjob. I can listen to extended works from any era besides Romantic because Romantic music is boring and never moves anywhere.
Henry Brown
How quickly you jump to sexual analogies. If I were not convinced of your adolescent mentality I surely am now.

Ayden Ward
How the fuck is Wagner similar to Ravel
