>I'm getting pretty close to saying there are no good American conductors period anymore >only good conductors of American orchestras I can think of are Fins Is he right?
Colton Edwards
Maybe MTT?
And Nezet-Seguin can sneak in if you're saying North American as opposed to USA.
hey guys, i've been wanting to expand my library on classical for a while its just hard knowing where to start. I'm into composers like Xenakis, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Goreki, John Cage and Stockhausen. Im downloading some stuff by Edgard Verese right now, is there anything you'd guys wanna rec me? it would be greatly appreciated
I was going to reccomend you stuff since I love Stravinsky and Xenakis has a few phenomenal compositions even though most of his stuff is not that interesting conceptually and not good to listen to, but then you listen junk composers like Goreki and Shostakobich and two literal memes.
Obvious shitpost is obvious.
Hunter Williams
>Romantic Harp Concertos Compilation >Handel, Mozart... >Romantic
Robert Long
>Xenakis xenakis sucks
Oliver Perry
The bulk of his stuff sucks, yeah. But when he gets something right, he gets it amazingly right. He's like Messiaen: a few absolute gems in a sea of refuse. That puts him on a higher level than creatively bankrupt rehashers like Shostakovich.
Sebastian Lee
Don't regress into an angry caveman when you see something you don't like. Your preferences are wildly distinct from the preferences of everyone else. Whatever you think is a "junk composer" or "interesting conceptually" is just a reflection of your personal perspective, which no one cares about nearly as much as you do.

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU
Nolan Cook

Nathan Nelson

Henry Rogers

Blake Jones
Sándor Végh

The next symphony chronologically like you would any other composer.
Gavin Cooper
Yeah you play the oboe like a sissy lol
Anthony King
Petzold
Joshua Adams
>implying Why yes, if anything deserves that standing, it is the hybridisation of music and mathematics. And I only said *some* of his compositions are good (because they are).
Sounds like it'd sound way worse on real instruments. Just put the midi in a side-scroller video game and call it a day.
Thomas Barnes
RAMEAU. How many times do I have to say it? He's literally the best composer ever ; he alone developed modern musical theory, created the modern opera and made harmony what it is. He even developed the contrepoint enough so that Bach could achieve his masterpiece.
Not to mention he did Hadyn's Creation better and before him in the Ouverture of Zaïs.

>2 minutes in Man, the recording has so many engineering issues I'll need to chew on the table to rein my autism in. And that transfer!!! Why does it change pitch so often??? I WANT TO KILL WHOEVER DID IT!!!!!!!
Which is a shame really, I would've liked to listen to that performance.
I refuse to listen to something by someone who has put music to voltaire.
Jace Wood
Dudamel is a faggot.
Bentley Robinson
Barenboim, Levine and Mehta all went down in a plane crash. Who survived? Mozart.
Adam Bailey
What, you can't handle Rameau's talent? Are you a Lullist by any chance? I hope you're not a degenerate German lover, or even worse, someone who dislikes Baroque.
Voltaire said Rameau was a bad composer later in his life ; and the libretto Voltaire did for Le Temple de la Gloire sucks, I will grant you that. But, through his sheer genius, Rameau made a great opera out of a sucky libretto.
