Enough talk about meme performances
What's your favorite performance from the past 5 years?
Jayden Walker
I'm thinking for my amusement to transpose popular coloratura soprano arias to a bass-baritone voice, but it seems like a lot of effort and it might not even be as funny as I imagine.

the titty fuck your mom gave me last week was definitely up there

Hi /classical/, I'm looking for some imposing/brooding music similar to this: youtube.com/watch?v=5QX-rSLkQRQ I know film music is pleb-tier but it's just an example of the mood. Any suggestions?
Josiah Perry
sniff around some concertos, take your pick: brahms, beethoeven, etc

What are the rules for harmonizing a tone row?
Gavin Cooper
Handel variations are pretty great
Robert Lopez
Just flip your tone row lol
Christopher Morgan
apologize now
William Martin
not a big fan of classical here, but Mahler is definitely my favourite composer. I only know a few works by him, his 1st, 2nd, 5th and 9th symphonies. what should I listen to now?
>the rest of his symphonies if you want any particular order? what about non symphonic works? thanks for the links, I'll give it a listen
Brayden Hill
you can listen to them in any order, but obviously chronological would give you a better sense of the development there.
his lieder are pretty good as well, i prefer them on the piano when it's available. Das Lied and Kindertotenlieder are symphonic-only, though.
Parker Torres
3rd, 6th, 8th, Das Lied von der Erde, Kindertotenlieder By R. Strauss, listen to Also Sprach Zarathustra, Death and Transfiguration, Metamorphosen, Alpine Symphony, Don Juan, Four Last Songs
Jason Parker
you can pick up all of his discography in the second mega link in op

Why is that people always say this without providing any links to their supposedly brilliant sources of knowledge?

because he's an autistic weeb that's fishing for (you)s by trying to out-hipster the hipsters

Is there a better volumic work than Bartók's Mikrokosmos?

You know what I don't understand? Martha Argerich is a very prolific recording artist, yet she has only recorded the Rachmaninoff piano concerto No. 3. Why hasn't she recorded the whole 4 pieces? I would love to have a Martha Argerich Rachmaninoff collection of all the pieces, that would be ideal. She can still record and do concerts, yet after all these years she still hasn't done it. She also hasn't done the Chopin Nocturnes. We have Rubinstein for that, at least. Maybe she feels that there's no reason to record another version of the Concertos, seeing as there's already many good interpretations and one recorded by Rachmaninoff himself.

So I'm getting really into string quartets, and some time ago someone suggested I start with the Haydns, the Beethovens, and the Mozarts.
Thing is, I've never really been a fan of Mozart, as his stuff tends to be too consonant and "merry" for my tastes. Did Mozart actually contribute that much to the genre? Should I actually get all of his quartets or just the "Haydn quartets" or what?
Lincoln Carter
yes, even if they aren't as good as his quintets, Mozart contributed a lot. Schoenberg, for instance, said he learned everything about Quartet writing from him.
get the Haydn Quartets, the Hoffmeister, and all the Prussians
if you don't like Mozart at his super cheery, i suppose you can stick to the D minor (K. 421)
seriously consider listening to his Quintets, though. in my opinion it's Mozart chamber at its best: youtube.com/watch?v=4mNZODlbq2U
I'm pretty sure I could listen to Hans Keller explain his morning shit and I would still find it soothing to listen to.
Liam Nguyen
can't listen to aesthetic tunes without an aesthetic physique
Henry Stewart
this looks good, specially for the chamber arrangement of prelude
anyone has it?
Kevin Miller
This is such garbage
Easton Hughes
Can somebody recommend me music similar to Beethoven's Grand Fugue, op. 133? Or anything "contemporary" sounding that's from the Classical era or earlier.
I've only heard a few opera, some solo piano works, and obvious symphonies so I'm all open for essentials. What's something that sounds this 'good' that isn't required to be played in the most homoerotic fashion possible?
Isaiah Myers
>What's something that sounds this 'good' that isn't required to be played in the most homoerotic fashion possible? I have no idea what you mean by this, but if you want more romantic piano concerti, then try Grieg and Saint-Saens.
I can go back and listen to it from the beginning taking notes as I go along, but I have no idea which language to use in those notes not knowing much more than basic harmonic analysis and still getting confused by transposing instruments. It reminds me of the more 'avant-garde' jazz pieces where the piano constitutes a build and release of tension rather than a mere chordal framework, which of course means that as jazz progresses it merely rips off a newer generation of art music. But this doesn't explain at all why I find Liszt more interesting than what little other music I've heard, so those essentials would help, with preferably a book explaining them,
Thomas Baker
Why does this make me stupid? I really like Martha Argerich's work. I've never heard better recordings of the Prokofiev paino concertos.
Alexander Adams
Cause Rach is shit
Leo Ross
Start with Shostakovich 8, then move on to the rest of Shostakovich's. Try Janacek's as well.
How the hell is Rachmaninoff shit? I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was dealing with those of shit taste.
Levi Hill
it's just the /classical/ bandwagon against Rach, Tchai, and Chopin.
Christopher Young
What nonsense. Especially Chopin. The Nocturnes are some of the most special pieces of music to me in the world.

James Roberts
Don't like Schoenberg much either, but point taken. Got an opinion on the Berg recording of those quartets?
Actually, the Shosta's are what got me into the genre. I was asking more about having more complete insight into the genre than just more stuff that I might like.
> Nietzsche had suggested such an orchestration: > In the lives of great artists, there are unfortunate contingencies which, for example, force the painter to sketch his most significant picture as only a fleeting thought, or which forced Beethoven to leave us only the unsatisfying piano reduction of a symphony in certain great piano sonatas (the great B flat major). In such cases, the artist coming after should try to correct the great men's lives after the fact; for example, a master of all orchestral effects would do so by restoring to life the symphony that had suffered an apparent pianistic death.
Adrian Russell
oops. meant to respond to

Hagen is good too Mosaiques for period instruments if you want that
