>you'll never be a world renowned conductor that triggers thousands of jews by conducting Wagner at Israel

Johannes Brahms-(1833-1897), famous German composer, sexually abused by prostitutes in a bar, which his parents used as his “child care” facility. He performed piano in the bar and was molested there in a years-long pattern of abuse. Late in life he confessed his inability to relate to women or to perform sexually. In the book THE UNKNOWN BRAHMS, he suggested that his general hostility towards women (he had very few female friends and never married, though he was evidently heterosexual) was from the abuse he endured from women when he was a child.

Slight, blond, and beautiful, the young teenager spent nightmare evenings at the piano, surrounded by drunken sailors and prostitutes who made him witness sexual and violent acts. They would even undress him and pass him around the room to be fondled as they pleased.

Brahms was profoundly affected by three years of these emotionally maiming experiences. Psychologically and spiritually wounded, he was sent to live with a relative in the countryside to recover. There he discovered the beauty of nature and was able to bury the trauma. But he was left with emotional and physical scars: He remained small and underdeveloped into his late twenties. He had no facial hair and looked like a lovely blond boy, undoubtedly mortifying for a young man trying to make it in the world as a composer and pianist.

The profound psychological polarities in Brahms's personality and the traumatic experiences of his youth influenced his life choices. He could not reconcile his discomfort at being constrained by any system or relationship with having a bourgeois lifestyle, wife, children, and steady job. Despite the large amounts of money he earned, he was frugal to a fault. His home was modest. He ate in the cheapest restaurants and dressed like a vagrant, with a large safety pin holding his coat together.

my wife Bramhs is so cute

Anyone have that Gesualdo "Don't talk to me or my nephew ever again" pic?

>tfw this actually happened to me at a pub when casually talking about music with a leftist

...

s-sorry

>listening to classical music
>not being racist
Pick one

I actually am a racist though, so I guess he was right.

>tfw almost no one knows that Wagner regretted deeply his anti-semitic and nationalist phase
>tfw he went from being an anarchist to being a proto-fascist to being a traditional socialist

Nazis really ruined Wagner for us.

lads, is it okay if I dived into Bach before listening much to the more famous composers (e.g. Mozart Beethoven) ?

*your

source?

>be wagner
>spend life attempting to bring higher beauty to music
>move to paris
>jew producers play pop music to entertain the plebs
>write long treatise condemning producers for pushing soulless music, and offering ideas on how to bring beauty back to art
>wanna-be intellectuals analyzing the text write hundreds of papers on muh anti-semitism while ignoring the main thesis of the paper

I like Schnittke,

bach is better than those composers though

which bourree is best?

You mean how he found Jesus? Why not just say that instead of making stuff up. I know you commies hate Christ more than anything in the world, but you don't have to twist history.

What classical music would you reccomend to someone who likes gothic music and neo-classical metal?

There is literally nothing wrong with being antisemitic

youtube.com/watch?v=1iPEQkwVjPM

youtube.com/watch?v=UiIrtPemmBs

He had plenty of Jewish friends on his life, and rumours floated that he was of Jewish ancestry (rumours that he himself didn't bother denying or anything and some accounts defend that he himself was the source of these rumours).
It's also worth nothing that he just voiced some of the most common viewpoints of the XIXth century, if you look for it in their letters, there's barely not a single composer that doesn't shit up on jews at least once, that doesn't mean they wanted to go full "race war gas the jews", that association only comes with Wagner because Hitler was too much of a fanboy.

I'm not the guy you quoted but I recall reading that he mellowed out on his late years, but I can't seem to recall a source right now.

>that doesn't mean they wanted to go full "race war gas the jews"

Indeed, I haven't actually read the paper he wrote on the jews but as far as I know all he said was that they made shitty music.

His biggest issue with the Jews was from the perspective of their non-integration into society, not to mention their God, Yahweh, was entirely antithetical to many of his own philosophical beliefs.

>it was just a phase adi! - wagner talking to hitler in purgatory

VERY nice link.

Any uplifting or inspirational pieces?

youtube.com/watch?v=CzqaFWyUL2U

Mahler 2 and 3
They're slow burners but the finales are about as inspirational as you can possibly get

Did Bach ever write something like the beginning chorus of Johannes-Passion, but for more than 10 minutes?

Sounds reasonable to me.

classical approved tv shows
other than mozart in the jungle and nodame cuntisvile

No tv shows are /classical/ approved.
Documentaries are the way of the patrician.

who else didn't realize it was a gaffe untile 1:24:36 in

If Gesualdo hadn't killed his wife, significantly less people would know of his music

sometimes artistry isn't enough

Well shit. Torrent it, it's pretty good. The scene where the dude plays bagpipe in his old castle to "fill the walls with music" to please his ghost is kino.

True, I wonder how many people wrote crazy music that is forgotten now because they didn't murder someone.

>murder
It was a completely justified killing

Still a pretty brutal murder, though. Justified or not.

>Gesualdo is also known for his behavior characteristic of possible mental illness, including lewdness, violence, and sadism
>lewdness
Wait is being lewd a mental illness?

It's not murder if it's a justified and lawful killing.

>Wait is being lewd a mental illness?
in your case, yes.

Dude was clearly what we would called bipolar today or something similar. Lewdness is not a mental illness on it's own, no. That's why it is not listed as the sole reaosn either.

I didn't know that and I love Gesauldo

...

rude, i'm not that lewd

Yes! Thank you so much! I've very much been wanting to get into Bach!

It isn't.

"Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought."

>killing of another human without justification

There is never justification.

Telemann
youtube.com/watch?v=6mQkhwpMzJk

There are PLENTY of justifications, you libtard.

Not one (1).

Only self-defense.

God literally said there is zero (0) reason not to slay an adulterer.

How would you try to deal with ISIS then? Rehabilitate them? What about an invading force? Just give away your land and throw up your hands? What self-defence?

You still have not come up with a single defensible justification for murder.

Yes I have. Stop living in a fantasy world, there are plenty of bad people in this world that need to die.

You do not get to decide who lives and who dies. Only the logos decides that.

I'm not in the business of killing people either, just pointing out the obvious retardation of your statement.

Who has the moral authority to decide? If not you, why should anyone else?

>moral relativism

Yeah no, I'm sorry but it's obvious to anyone who is not on their high horse that terrorists and other people that are a threat to society need to be put down like the rabid dogs that they are.

Who conducts The Rite of Spring the best?

That isn't moral relativism.

To claim that no one has any real moral authority, yes I believe it is.

The composer, obviously.

Stravinsky

Markevitch.

fug wrong link
youtube.com/watch?v=cq7hQeRyA4g

Why was Stravinsky so fuggo?
Brahms was so much cuter.

o shit, didn't realize there was a recording. Thanks.

Maybe I should rephrase, besides Stravinsky who came the closest to authentic?

rach was a qt too

>Stravinsky
>authentic
>>>authenticity
lmao. Pierre Monteux does a good job.

stavinskys dick

Cute slav genes.

Why was Bernstein so hot

It's a ballet, it's only authentic if it is in a ballet theatre with dancers, not a recording. Also Strav wasn't such a hot conductor and the orchestras he worked with often weren't up to the music.

Which one?

Anyone got anything like this

except not shitty?

Why do people always clap the second a classical performance is done? It really ruins the endings of pieces

Mother nature and horny teens

Live performances in general aren't meant to sound perfect; people go partially for the showmanship and theatre aspect of it

It took Zimerman over 100 takes to get his recording of Liszt's B minor sonata how he wanted it; that's obviously not going to be possible live anyway
