Sylvain Blassel, Beethoven sonata 32, op 111 #2
>tfw I may die before he records The Art of Fugue
help me cope with this feel
>quickly download some Stravinsky before going on vacation
>recordings turn out to be total obscurities and now I'm stuck with them
Who the fuck is Vladimir Fedoseyev? Why is he conducting "The Big Symphony Orchestra of Central Television and All-Union Radio"? The label itself - Melodiya - sounds shady.
I've never listened to Petrushka or Firebird, should I try them anyway or...?
best recording of beety's 5th??
I enjoy Kleiber, but I'm not a classical autist so my opinion is invalid
just listen to them and if you don't like how it sounds just replace them when you get back

I've just realized there's hundreds of piano concertos. I knew there were a shit ton, but still. I hadn't really realized it until I stumbled into this section of youtube and recognized no names.
There's probably tens of thousands desu senpai
Whats up classical people
Tonight it's all about Rossini's Otello starring Chris Merritt in semi blackface, Rocky Blake and June Anderson. As a Rossinifag I infinitely prefer it to Verdi's version due to the melodies.

My favorite big tunes for your skipping around pleasure
18:40 "Ah sì, per voi già sento"
Dope horn solo after 36:00 or so
1:22:30 to 1:30:00 - "Che ascolto" incredibly punishing and exciting tenor aria
2:27:57 Desdemona's willow song. The text describes the wind carrying away the words, and to represent that, after the verse the clarinet and then flute pick up the melody and carry it off
What do y'all niggaz think about ma homies Keith and Michala?
BWV 1030

This video has no subtitles, dude. I can't page through my Italian-English dictionary nearly that fast
It's the tunes not the text that make it good
I agree, just wish I didn't have to watch the entire box set of PBS's Lidia's Cooking to understand what they're saying.
Well if you really must know the words, you can take this untranslated italian libretto and filter the parts you want thru google translate or something

You're too kind, user.
My pleasure.... anyway intelligible or not the score is a masterpiece of bel canto and the cast in that video is amazing. There are only a handful of tenors today who could compete on that level, here is the 'ah vieni, nel tuo sangue' duet from act 2 as sung by Lawrence Brownlee and Javier Camarena last year as what amounts to a high C competition youtube.com
Yeah, I'm into the dope horn solo and there were some crazy vocal acrobatics/ornamentations going on in the duet before it

hey guys i'm looking for a really specific piece of music, i dont know the name of it though.
I kind starts off like Non, je ne regrette rien by edit piaf. Then eventually kinda does a Ghost House from super mario world thing later.
i know its not a lot to go on but if anything seems familiar to that then any help would be cool.
it's better when orchestrated
Once upon a time Sup Forums was a small board with a close knit group of music fans up for a laugh, decent discussion and exploration together. As time passed, traffic increased, more people with different tastes arrived and arguments ensued to the point discussion was no longer worth attempting and the board became nothing more than a blog for the latest hype trends.
Someone, somewhere started a board called Musikchan. It didn't really take off because people didn't want to leave Sup Forums for odd reasons and that no one posted there, not realising if they posted, so would others.
The board still exists, threads last months and months. Theres no waifutards, no memerap, no shills, kids, Fantano drones and no captcha.
A few of us want to get it back to life with real music fans who value quality over quantity. Threads that last weeks and you can have mature conversations. A place for classical, jazz, experimental, trad folk and no FotM shit, come join us make a good discussion board.
Toscanini's live broadcast on VE Day. Not the best quality unfortunately, but the tempo and energy will blow your mind, no other 5th sounds like this.

What's some good things with reed flutes? Thinking something like dance of the reed flutes.
I have a problem with this guy's music... it's just so damned fast. Everything happens fast, over and over again. And it always sounds like the season he was born in: spring. Every time.
Everything is perfect and beautiful but I can't take it. Too fast for me. Like-damn it, Johann, give us mortals a fucking break.
That being said, fuck Bach.
The fact that there are no quality recordings of Toscanini kills me
Every recording I've listened to is an incredible interpretation marred by fuzzy details
Trying to follow his counterpoint is like playing 4D chess

Opinion on game and movie soundtracks?
Depends. Most are generic and mediocre, the "original" ones tend only to have superficial differences from the rest. The ideal soundtrack is part of a complete hybrid artform wherein each medium is used in a complementary fashion to create a kind of "gesamtkunstwerk", but I have yet to find any such movie or game.
it's not different from any late baroque counterpoint. In fact he was more sober and plain than some French masters
triggered
are there any soundtracks that are sufficient to stand on their own, separate from their coupled medium? I'm not sure there are, besides a couple of pieces.
youtube.com
In general I think it is the case that soundtracks out of context stand or fall dependent on the audience's familiarity with the original context. If you've played through Final Fantasy VI a dozen times and you hear "Dancing Mad" somewhere, you're going to have a very strong impression of the climactic battle from that game running through your mind for the duration of the piece and likely for a considerable time after it has stopped playing. The music has acted as a sort of key, and the sentimental value of the memory it has unlocked is automatically projected onto the music itself. But if you never played that game, if you never saw anyone else play it, if you didn't even know what it was, what would you think about that piece? My guess is you'd think it was a lot of simple repeated phrases that goes on for entirely too long.
The Ecstasy of Gold is a very interesting case, because it is the only piece of soundtrack music I can think of which is used in other films, TV shows, commercials etc. for purposes other than homage or parody. Not even the John Williams themes from Star Wars or Indiana Jones can claim that kind of transcendence of their source material. I think this one piece by Morricone has to some degree become its own entity in popular culture.
I'm a sucker for the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack. Also, William Walton's score for Henry V and Jerome Moross's for The Big Country.

Brianfag here.
The complete symphonic cycle of the 32 symphonies of Havergal Brian will be complete in Youtube (Pic related as a prove). I had problems with Hyperion recordings because i uploaded his version of the symphony No.3, they threatened with a strike which would delete all my videos. So i decided to put a radio recording: less quality but without copyright. I'm a bit dissappointed with the symphonies No.14 and 26, specially the 26, a bad quality recording performed without much spirit.
That's all for now, maybe i will publish everything of him: piano music, orchestral works and vocal ones.
Do you anons know any pieces that have those 'otherworldly/exotic' vibes, sort of like you get from Rimsky-Korsakov (Serbian Themes, Scherezade, etc)?
Alan Hovhaness
That's a new name, thank you
He wrote hundreds of pieces too. For my taste it's too bad that they all pretty much sound exactly the same, but at least he was consistent.
Yeah he does repeat himself, but he gets a pretty interesting romantic sound going. This is my favorite piece of his, it makes me think of some sort of exotic and desolate fantasy landscape
