Oh yeah I love that piece as well, don't play civ but that makes sense. youtube.com/watch?v=ff3M1GEGJWc Anyone else /classical/pleb?
Julian Sanders
Fuck, this tchaikovsky piece is so fucking great, I also recommend Rachmaninov verspers and Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom by Mokranjac if you like that orthodox kind of music
who's is the best 15th century composer? I nominate Ockeghem
Grayson Roberts
idk
Tyler Ward
He's one of the top 5 best violinists in the world in my estimation. >Hilary Hahn >Janine Jansen >James Ehnes >??? >???
Of course Vengerov and Perlman in their respective primes were GOAT. But if we're talking about contemporary violinists there's very little competition to those three imo.
Chang, Bell, Kavakos, Repin, Rachlin, etc. All the bigger name professional violinists are good but I feel like they're more branded. Whereas Hahn and Ehnes play literally everything nearly perfect. Jansen is more modernist but she's the best at that style.
Isaac Evans
I have 5 recordings of his: Homage, Shost/Britten, Prokofiev, Bartok, and the Barber/Korngold/Walton. I've also listened to his Sibelius, Elgar, Tchaikovsky, and Beethoven.
I've never been disappointed. The only factor with Ehnes is that he plays so cleanly that its not always suitable to some music. Vengerov's shostakovich recordings are better since he grinds into it so much more. Ehnes sounds dainty in comparison.
Cameron Smith
Sorry I got taken into custody. Good taste user. youtu.be/V1HlSymdnB8 Trash list.
Jace Gutierrez
>Trash list >Doesn't bother listing any of his own Classic.
Who would you rather? Zimmerman and Sophie Mutter? Now that I think of it they're both GOAT.
Blake Thompson
I'd list Yo Yo Ma and myself clearly.
Austin Sullivan
>Carmignola >Biondi >Onofri >Minasi/Sinkovski >Pine In that order.
She has one of the best recent recordings of Schoenberg's concerto you pleb.
Michael Moore
>says one of the vids produced by a violinists on my list is neat >finds out that I listen mostly to baroque (which is why I feel comfortable reccing baroque violinists in the first place) >"I-I never liked it anyway!!" Wow... so this is the power of cognitive dissonance.
Asher Sanders
When is Anime&baroqueanon gonna make a chart?
Dylan Thomas
I've made one and a half charts about the baroque era highlighting lesser known but still significant composers but I haven't found much time to finish it. Also I promised to make a Vivaldi chart last year and never started on it lmao.
Ryder Cruz
>responds with only "this list is shit" to a post with the greatest violinists >then gives his(her) list of who they think are the greatest violinists >its all people practicing an emotionless dead form
woah.. so this is the power of anime

Jonathan Garcia
> Schoenberg's violin concerto
the most punchable violin concerto
Samuel Thomas
I want to fucking die! Piece for this feel?
Chase Martinez
Inevitably the list of greatest violinists requires rulings: the inevitable rejoinders of Grumiaux, Oistrakh and Menuhin arise when discussing Hahn and Ehnes as the greatest.
>talking to acquientance >'oh you play violin? I love Lindsey Stirling!' >Mfw

Lucas Watson
I didn't say that I didn't like it. I'm happy for recs.
But if you're going to condescend to someone by saying "TRASH LIST" as if you're an authority then i expect you to listen to more than baroque. Its pretty simple dawg.
You didn't frame it as "These violinists are the best at Baroque imo" or "These are the GOAT since i listen to Baroque".
The Big Boys concerto list = >Beethoven >Sibelius >Brahms >Shostakovich >Tchaikovsky. >Paganini caprices >Wienaweski >Ysaye
I just sort of assume that anyone worth listen to will generally have played most of those pieces and more. If your only niche is Baroque you're inherently limited.
>people replying without (You)s
Andrew Thomas
I was talking about contemporary violinists. Ofc the GOAT list would be different.
I would probably feature Prime-Vengerov on there for one. Heifetz of course. I've heard some very good Grumiaux, but I'm not as familiar with the other oldies.
I always found Menuhin and Oistrakh a bit too stiff, or else its just the low-fi recording. The album of Menuhin playing with Grappeli is especially illustrative.
Sebastian Mitchell
What is the technical convention for naming a scale/mode with multiple successive half-steps?
Jackson Jones
>Go see Hilary at Carnegie Hall for Bernstein's Serenade and some Sibelius >Serenade was amazing, perfect as per Hahn's usual >Tfw they replaced Sibelius with an orchestral piece last minute probably because she's pregnant
On a different note, what do you guys think of Joshua Bell?
Liam Rodriguez
Its a chromatic version of another scale
Adam Morris
What is the "Bird Up" of classical music?
Aaron Rivera
but is it one of those "add 9" or "add 13" things? How do you communicate which tones are being added?
Daniel Mitchell
What does "bird up" mean?
Juan Fisher
He's not bad. Not my favorite and I think he's a bit of a memer with the facial expressions and moving around and shit.
But he's solid tier 2 imo.
Justin Johnson
So who's in tier 1?
Christopher Cook
Read the thread bruh. Ehnes and Hahn are very good, janine jansen is one of my personal favs.
Zimmerman and mutter are an older gen but extremely talent too.
Hudson Flores
Are you talking purely living violinists? Mutter is a bit on the stale side imo.
Brandon Wilson
Ilya Gringolts has been pushed a lot, getting recommendations for various recordings.
Just got my fucking $160 ticket for Israel in Egypt. Am I making a mistake? Handelfags only, pls.
Luis Diaz
Standard musical notation isn't great for non-diatonic scales to be honest. Just do whatever you like.
Gavin Cruz
what? are you Egyptian going to Israel?

Which instruments do you play /classical/? Currently I only play piano and recorder but I'm looking to expand. What's a good instrument that's easy to play and has a lot of nice solo pieces/melodies written for it?
Nathan Cook
piano
Isaiah Scott
>easy to play and has a lot of nice solo pieces/melodies written for it I would say piano
Jaxson Kelly
>What's a good instrument that's easy to play and has a lot of nice solo pieces/melodies written for it? Pretty much all of them. Just play the one you want to play, because if you choose a new instrument for "practical reasons" you won't have the same motivation to learn as an instrument you actually really like.
