o-oh

Stop shitty anime OPs 2k17

OP is a faggot

I started the CIA meme

pets sold; never patted

you're right
OP should post BETTER anime pics where all the composers are busty babes
except for chopin who is flat (don't mention it to her - she's v insecure)

poly is sexy, but he should fuck off

Are video recordings of operas, ballets, works containing narratives like passions or masses, etc. commonly done? Are the better recordings usually just audio?

Also: anyone know a good video recording of Tristan and Isolde? Preferably something with English subtitles.

or how about just posting a picture of a composer, and not some animated shit. Cutesy cartoon composers is just faggoty

bullshit, I learned the church organ at 28 yo, and can play decently. Just changing registrations mid-piece is still a bit hard.

Damn, poly, how many cell phones do you have...

There's a 2007 Glyndebourne one which is pretty good. It's got Stemme as Isolde and she's one of the best for the role that's currently alive. Behovalek's conducting isn't bad either. Problem is that all the GOAT Wagner recordings were made before visual recordings of them really became a thing.

There is one from 73 with Nilsson as Isolde opposite Vickers, conducted by Bohm which I'd imagine is pretty good but I've not watched it so I couldn't confirm.

There are pianists here.

What are you currently practicing ?

it's in awful sound and video unfortunately

have to split my attention between instruments.

Organ:

Piano:

Interesting concert led by the newly named Elbphilharmonie Orchester (previously the NDR Sinfonieorchester) and Thomas Hengelbrock:

youtube.com/watch?v=BqJEuZuoqFM
youtube.com/watch?v=fmMIhXCREsw

The organ in that place looks like great fun. But really nice looking building overall, I've been following the development. Germany seems to do classical music very well

That's one expensive building

yeah it looks pretty cool though

bet Scriabin would've loved it because it's a total lightshow

Cool poll reveals that /classical/ actually likes poly, and hsi haters are just a couple really persistent assholes with no life

I have entirely different tastes from the guy, but I wouldn't want him to fuck off or anything. It'd be awfully boring if everyone here had the same tastes

/classical/ enjoys telling poly to fuck off
it can't do that if she leaves

Poly is a boy. We even know his IRL name.

>implying

Is Poly a tranny now

A piece by Josef Hofmann titled 'Kaleidoscope' and the rest of the Weissenberg-Trenet chansons, already performed and recorded En Avril a Paris but I want to have the other five done soon so I can rent a studio over the summer and record the entire set.

Might as well shill myself a little:

He has certain composers he hypes that became a bit of a joke by association, no real harm. I do like how he anonymously argues with plebs outside the general despite claiming he only prefers classical. Somebody's gotta rattle the circle jerks or else nobody will try different genres. I'm too apathetic and dumb to do my part.

I simply have too many cell phones.

Aw.

I'm actually considering boycotting popular music along with him, but I really don't want to give up my morning ritual of dancing naked to (Not Just) Knee Deep by Funkadelic (full 15 min ver. ofc) to get into the groove of the day. Is it OK if I only listen to popular music made by black people? That might be a bit racist, but whites should be held to a higher standard anyway. Plus, I still get to listen to jazz without having to worry whether it's popular music or real music (except white jazz, but that's not real jazz).

...

Anyone know where I can find a full English translation of the libretto to Intolleranza 1960?

It's just to get people to fuck off with asking the same variants of that question.

Poly is a Xe/ Xyrkin.

Name one reason why I shouldn't invent a time machine and erase Mozart from ever having existed. Fuck that smug prissy faggot.

Then there would be no one to BTFO Salieri.

Because he'd reincarnate as Grimes anyway.

I agree. Mozart is for babies.

beethoven is way more influential than mozart and his music is better

what happened to the beethoven hater

The meme died out.

he succumbed to the same fate all beethoven haters inevitably receive

pity?

violent premature death.

Unless you're planning on learning violin you can become a virtuoso at any age. It's not really about talent, it's more about wether you can afford daily lessons while not working.
If you can do it full time you can become a great instrumentalist, even on instruments as hard as piano.

>you can become a virtuoso at any age. It's not really about talent

Please stop lying to people.

You mean the Bach/ B*g hater?

Go to any conservatory and see it for yourself, or ask to any conservatory teacher, if you're too lazy to do so. Talent matters only when it comes to personal interpretation. Hard work is enough to acquire virtuoso technique, and if you're not a real artist (aka you can't come up with your own interpretations) copying them is easy, and virtually no one will give you shit for that.
Of course you won't become as famous as Arrau, but that's not really the point.

>Hard work is enough to acquire virtuoso technique


kek

It literally is. If you can shut yourself in a room for a decade you can do it. Again, if you don't trust me just go to your local conservatory, find the piano interpretation course and talk with the old people you will find there.

It's snowing but I don't need to listen to Winterreise for the fiftieth time. Post Finns.

Who are the most prominent non-minimalist tonal music composers of the past 50 or so years (post-Shostakovich)?

I don't want that talentless spic faggot taking over the Berlin after Rattle is done. Is there anything I can do to change that?

Has he recorded anything? I have no clue whether he's talentless or not.

It's clearly his ethnicity that's the problem, not his musical ability

Grimes

Which of Jedward's albums would you recommend to start?

Spic? He's Russian-Austrian

no?

youtube.com/watch?v=IA88AS6Wy_4

Music has done nothing but degenerate since this was first performed

More like ever since the Messe de Notre-Dame

Probably Boulez.

degenerate

What are some of his more tonal works? I was thinking more along the lines of Rautavaara.

Try:

Boulez isn't really all that inaccessible as some people make him out to be in my opinion.

his orchestrated Notations isn't too far off from the realm of something like Bartok or Stravinsky imo

I'm sure he's great, and I enjoy listening to that kind of music. I'm just curious who some of the recent more heavily tonalist composers are.

Looks alot like hila from h3

What are some underrated composers?
I'll start.
youtube.com/watch?v=UXuOpWH5vmU

>tfw Rameau is the most aesthetically pleasing composer you've ever heard
He really gets beauty.

Everyone but Mozart.

WARNING: THESE ARE OBJECTIVELY THE 10 GREATEST PIECES OF WESTERN ART MUSIC, CONTRARIANS AND MEMERS WILL TELL YOU OTHERWISE, DON'T LISTEN TO THEM
(Limited to 1 per composer, as Bach would fill it up pretty quickly)
Schubert - String Quartet no. 15
Mozart - Piano Concerto no. 20
Bach - Die Kunst Der Fuge
Schnittke - Choir Concerto
Perotin - All his choral works
Brahms - Symphony no. 4
Wagner - Tristan und Isolde
Stravinsky - Rite of Spring
Strauss - Four Last Songs
Monteverdi - Vespers

Do you include Perotin just because he's old?

>Limited to 1 per composer
>Perotin - All his choral works
lol

>no beethoven

Petzold

Not that guy, but he wrote so little that we know of, might as well include it

Dudamel is a spic you retard

His music makes most of the harpsichord in my opinion

everyone from that era sounds better on a piano

Uh, Kirill Petrenko has been confirmed as the replacement for the Berlin Philharmonic. He was confirmed like over a year ago.

Scarlatti

>Schnittke
>Four Last Songs and Monteverdi's vespers instead of their operas
Loving
Every
Laugh

Wagner's Tristan may heave been his most influential, but the Ring was his best

Anyone got some Wolfgang Rihm uploaded or willing to upload?

>not liking schnittke and four last songs
plebe

The Ring or Parsifal

I bet most haven't listened to whole of Tristan beyond the meme, but transcendental god like prelude

Can anyone recommend stuff similar to Stravinsky's Les Noces? I'm through Orff's catalogue, I need more!

you can learn to play the violin well enough though for yourself to enjoy it right? there seems to be a few people on youtube who are doing this

probably with lessons i meant to add*

You'll probably be able to play anime soundtracks after a few years.

you're so sharp user

can confirm. im not a pianist but i can still play that shit.

What does /classical/ think of Gubaidulina, Sciarrino, Finnissy, Chin, Lachenmann, Saariaho, Haas, Norgard, Ruders, Cerha, Murail, Ferneyhough, Ullmann, Robin, Kurtag?

sorry did you mean violinist?

Why did you remove Mitterer and Pisaro?

They didn't really fit
