Aaron Brooks
This is one of his less known propaganda pieces, but it's scored for 8 (!) harps, and the timps part is fucking mental.

Lt. Kije, Overture to Hebrew Themes, Alexander Nevsky, Zdravitsa are the best Prokofiev.

Nice one! I've loved this piece for a while - wasn't she involved with Shosty at one point? The trio with tuba and piccolo is cool too.

What are some good recordings of the wagner operas, especially of Tristan (I quite like the C. Kleiber one), Tannhäuser, Lohengrin and Parsifal?

Knappertsbusch - Bayreuth, ’62 (recommended by Pope Francis)
>I love Wagner. I like to listen to him, but not all the time. The performance of Wagner’s ‘Ring’ by Furtwängler at La Scala in Milan in 1950 is for me the best. But also the ‘Parsifal’ by Knappertsbusch in 1962.

I would genuinely like to know which Ring cycles you think are better than Solti's and Barenboim's—taking the orchestra, singers and sound quality into account.
Isaiah Turner
that's a lot of basses
Ayden Garcia
How to get millennials into classical:
youtube.com
Jonathan Murphy
Furt's good in Tristan but not the best. He was always pretty finicky in the studio and never comfortable there, AND it was recorded during his tired years - the tempi are much too slow. The singers are great, though, and for some that's all they need.
I would honestly say that I find Kna to be fairly overrated in Parsifal, but not bad.
I would say that generally speaking Janowski's account is superior to both Solti and Barenboim in terms of the orchestra and sound quality. Keep in mind that the Ring was never written with Bayreuth acoustics in mind and it shows. It's hard to find a singular Ring to recommend, though. There isn't a single cycle without issues.
Jackson Thompson
Why is it that I can only work (focus) with classical music?
I have tried lots of different genres to study to, but I always get distracted.
Is there a science behind this?
Daniel Jones
Jackson Ramirez
Also, while I dearly love the singers and the conductor, Keilberth's '55 recording shouldn't be recommended to anyone unless they have a high tolerance for deafening brass - Culshaw's team really fucked up trying to capture the Bayreuth acoustic. I mean, just listen to this:
Yikes.
Sebastian Roberts
weeaboo faggots already love the genre for some reason
everywhere i go there are faggot weeaboos
Cameron Scott
It might be the lack of vocals and perhaps just the right amount of interesting movement to keep you focused
Anthony White
is boulez ring a meme?
Austin Nguyen
It's the only DVD production that I like. Though I find the modern staging a bit silly, it's pretty minimalist compared to the full-retard productions that go on nowadays. Boulez conducts it well in an appropriately fast manner, but I do have a few quibbles; for instance, his chamber-like balances (inspired by Furtwängler) are not particularly compatible with the acoustic of Bayreuth and completely out-of-whack with the recording philosophy of the production. Which, to be fair, was recorded primarily for a televised experience, so it's no wonder that the voices overpower the orchestra *even* more so than the usual Bayreuth recordings.
Most of the singers are fairly good for their generation, except for Gwyneth Jones who is an absolute catastrophe through-and-through. Dear god. Sloppy diction, wobbly as fuck, and her acting is mediocre. Manfred Jung isn't a great Siegfried but he is at least fairly dedicated to the role. I actually have an earlier broadcast of the Boulez cycle back when René Kollo was there. Mr. Kollo turns in one of the most youthful and vicious Siegfried performances I've heard, many times more exciting than his later recordings. He left, iirc, because there was an incompatibility with himself and Boulez.

feels good mates
Parker Gomez
>tfw self-teaching the guitar
am i gonna make it lads
Luis Sullivan
You should see a teacher every few months at least. It doesn't have to be a frequent thing but they will really help you improve on a lot of things that you just wouldn't know that you're doing wrong without them; and those are the things that will really make a difference
Zachary King
depends what you want to do with guitar playing
playing music you enjoy and for yourself and to be moderately good, don't bother with lessons. playing to be ''''good'''' and to be in a constant state of improvement and discipline, get lessons
Christian Watson
Liam Rivera
Should you always watch an opera rather than just listening to it for the first time or does it not matter?
Ethan Collins
some operas you don't have that option, but i watch it when i can
Elijah Barnes
Is that Janowski with the Berlin Radio Symphony or with the Dresden Staatskapelle?
Dylan Perez
Favourite period accurate recordings?
Mason Martin
His latter recordings with the RSB are even more convincingly conducted and have fantastic sound quality to boot (nothing else on record comes close to underlining the oft buried orchestral details), but far worse singing. The earlier DS recording has far better singing and is recorded in a beautiful acoustic.
Ryder Russell

I used to play the trumpet when I was younger till my teeth went bad. Thinking about getting back into it when these brace come off, is there any good classical trumpet pieces?

hey /classical/, where should I start with Benjamin Britten? I remember playing some kind of a suite of his work in an orchestra with a choir, but I don't remember what it was, and I haven't heard anything else by him.
Jesus Christ, this is Percy Grainger? A bit of a departure from Posy

Alexander Peterson
Young person's guide is probably as good a place to start as any ... I'm not a big Britten expert but Peter Grimes is a must and War Requiem as well. He has a bunch of other operas - Just on experience I'd recommend his last opera 'Death in Venice' which has a lot of gamelan influence and pretty personal subject matter. Cello concerto is cool too
Josiah Walker

Jayden Reed
Jaxon Jenkins
sometimes finding a video of the opera is hard and finding a video with english subtitles is even harder, so you concede to just listening to it
why am I getting deja vu
Sebastian Cox
Which era was better? Pre-1800, 1800s or 1900s? I am listening to Symphony No. 1 by Prokofiev. I compared the 1st and 2nd symphony. 1st one is more solid than movie-music 2nd.
Jeremiah Robinson
The only periods that are bad are the medieval era and the modern era. Everything else has greatness.
Gabriel Stewart
let's say that you will be deaf after hearing 5 pieces
