Mahler, or Feldman.
Mahler for any good mood; and Feldman for anything pale.
They are the only two I continually go back to. Also Bach, but Bach's Bach.

>Signum are proud to present the debut recording from the Chineke! Orchestra, in a new live orchestral recording from The Royal Festival Hall, London. Drawn from exceptional musicians from across the continent, the orchestra is part of the Chineke! Foundation – a non-profit organisation that provides career opportunities to young Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) classical musicians in the UK and Europe. Their motto is ‘Championing Change and Celebrating Diversity in Classical Music.The orchestra is the brainchild of Chi-chi Nwanoku MBE, FRAM, who describes the project’s aim as being “... to create a space where BME musicians can walk on stage and know that they belong, in every sense of the word."
I guess if you can't sell a record on the basis of its own interpretive or virtuosic merits, might as well sell it on diversity. They should have done something other than the 800th recording of the New World, though. Retards.
Jonathan Gomez
These days you can't sell records based on "interpretive or virtuosic merits". The amount of people that think classical had its heyday 100 years ago is matched only by the amount of people who think classical performance had its heyday 50 years ago. For them, modern performances are only ok but can't match dusty old mono recording #1.
Gimmicky orchestra performing gimmicky modern work isn't going to sell enough to pay for the plastic in the CD so they might as well churn out a warhorse to sell to completists that won't listen to it much anyway.
Zachary Thomas
>50 years ago >dusty old mono recording #1 hmmmmmm
Ryan Cooper
Eh, that's not really true. Sure, for the romantic era we have plenty of "golden age" recordings that even most modern conductors worship (in case you think that those "people" are exclusively listeners), but there's still quite a bit of excitement for new renaissance, baroque, and classical recordings. And I'd say even the romantic era still get its fair shake, but it's more dependent on the work in question.
Connor Brooks
I met a violist who plays in this orchestra. Nice fellow, lodges with a family I know. He plays in loads of ensembles outside of it and seemed to just treat it as another source of income more than some grand racial rebalancing thing.

Yeah, doesn't surprise me. The whole, "save the world from muh racisms," thing oft comes off as a marketing schtick these days. I have an acquaintance who performs in an ethnic theater group who feels similarly about it, despite what the over-the-top marketing seems to suggest...

I believe that richess is like love in the theatres and novels: no matter how often one encounters it...it never misses its target if effectively wielded...[Nothing] can grow back the foreskin of which we are robbed on the eighth day of life; those who, on the ninth day, do not bleed from this operation shall continue to bleed an entire lifetime, even after death."

Reposting cause no one answered me last thread:
Who are some Chopin performers in the vein of Saint-Saens? youtube.com/watch?v=5gOIOKB2k7Y Was listening to this earlier, and I really like how distinguishable both hands are. Hear quite a bit of detail that I don't find in modern performers of Chopin at all.
>One always hopes to discover live radio performances, but while searching for these elusive beasts, a regrettable cul-de-sac was reached. Not one disc survives from the recordings made of the thirty odd hours aired over Australian radio. The A.B. C. archives were once "updated" in the 1960's providing 500,000 records as fodder for a landfill adjacent to a highway, clearly visible from the A.B.C. 's own Sydney offices (facing north). Friedman's Liszt B minor Sonata, both Sonatas of Chopin, eight concerti, major works by Schumann and Brahms are in good company; Schnabel had toured Australia in 1939 and his transcriptions are also filled in the same heap.

Because people are utterly unaware of 19th century politics and that words like "untergehen" signify assimilation, not destruction
Also because people are way to obsessed with their identities and think assimilation is bad

>In 1914, at the beginning of World War I, Magnard sent his wife and two daughters to a safe hiding place while he stayed behind to guard the estate of "Manoir de Fontaines" at Baron, Oise. When German soldiers trespassed, he fired at them, killing one of them, and they fired back and set the house on fire. It is believed that Magnard died in the fire, but his body could not be identified in the remains.
Brutal. Wonder if his music is any good, guess I'll try one of the symphonies

>This Reger is a sarcastic, churlish fellow, bitter and pedantic and rude. He is a sort of musical Cyclops, a strong, ugly creature bulging with knotty and unshapely muscles, an ogre of composition. In listening to these works...one is perforce reminded of the photograph of Reger which his publishers place on the cover of their catalogue of his works, the photograph that shows something that is like a swollen, myopic beetle with thick lips and sullen expression, crouching on an organ bench.
I think I listened to his 4th (or was it the 3rd?) Symphomy forever ago. It was alright, typically murky like most late romantic works, I found it kind of hard to follow without a score. Dramatic openings, strong endings, but I frequently got lost in the middle.
That's just retarded. You calling Pre-diatonic composers and guys like Bartok guitarists?
Hudson Hughes
SDF, what the fuck have you been up to?
Thomas Russell
quite honestly what I want to see is microtonality being used structurally taking advantage of new modulation opportunities in a real true romantic context. Kind of in the way Messiaen did with the modes of limited transposition.
Ayden Thompson
He's down with the hood in Chicago now
Blake Wright
Yeah the only composer I have seen make good structural use of microtones in a diatonic sense is Easley Blackwood. It would be cool to have more stuff like that.
Karajan with the berliner philharmoniker is, in my opinion, the best version. >muh Cobra That guy is just a meme >mu Wilhelm Furtwaengler Pretty good, bu toot old recordings

Always makes me think that Wagner is the only composer that people raise the "can you listen to the music without thinking about the composer" question, as though all other composers throughout history have been saints. Also the sort of people that raise the issue are the same ones who decry Zionism to the point of being anti-Semitic themselves. Makes me think very, very hard indeed.

Colton Clark
Recently I listened to some Mussorgsky. It was Godunov I guess.
Let's be honest here: Wagner would have totally supported the nazis. He was a top tier opportunist who had no problems pandering to the highest authorities (he had no problems composing King Ludwig's childish fantasies by preying upon German mythology), he died as an anti-semite (and you're wrong if you downplay it: in Wagner's times the intensity of his antisemitism was considered bad taste, his brand of antisemitism wasn't common at all), and he had an adoration for heroic figures (and all the post-Wagnerian saw that in the figure of Adolf Hitler).
Even if it is speculation, I have absolutely no doubt Wagner would have composed glorious operas for the Nazi party, and then proceed to shun it as soon as its demise became evident, jumping on the next political train.
>Wagner is the only composer that people raise the "can you listen to the music without thinking about the composer" question, as though all other composers throughout history have been saints. Most composers have been saints, compared to Wagner. He was a bully, an absolute narcissist with a personality cult going on and a downright dishonest person. Of course this does not detract one bit from the quality of his music. Sure, the Meistersinger may be antisemitic, and it was written as a crowdpleaser for the now nationalist Germany, but can anything bad be said about the music itself? It is beyond perfection in every possible musical department.
>Also the sort of people that raise the issue are the same ones who decry Zionism to the point of being anti-Semitic themselves. Makes me think very, very hard indeed. That's a pretty vague polemic.

Poor third country musician reporting in. Is there any site or program (like soulseek) where I can download modern, copyrighted scores? Apart from imlsp, of course. A serie of scores that I'm searching at the moment is Schnabnel's Beethoven's Sonatas technical edition.
