Just listened to Das Lied von der Erde. First I was like, heh funny drunk guy singing about spring. But then der Abschied, I never asked for these feels. Wahler is such an emo kid.

If you liked that shit, listen to Zemlinsky's piece next and continue the cycle.
>The form was afterwards imitated by other composers, notably by Shostakovich and Zemlinsky. This new form has been termed a "song-symphony", a hybrid of the two forms that had occupied most of Mahler's creative life.
>Zemlinsky's best-known work is the Lyric Symphony (1923), a seven-movement piece for soprano, baritone and orchestra, set to poems by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore (in German translation), which Zemlinsky compared in a letter to his publisher to Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde (though the first part of Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder is also a clear influence). The work in turn influenced Alban Berg's Lyric Suite, which quotes from it and is dedicated to Zemlinsky.

No way you can get a girl into bruckner

He looks so weak and depressed that I truly feel bad for him

It really depends: if the music is "deep" or "symbolic" like Mahler, Wagner or postromanticism in general, then the B option seems the more adequate. But when the music isn't particuarly special or "sublime", then A and C fit more

You fucker ave let the last two generals die. At this point petzold posterst are more worth than y'all

Why is late 1800s and early 1900s music so CLANG CLANG CLANG? Why can't it be nice and elegant little bits like baroque and classical?

Because you're an effeminate fag that can't deal with violence, passion or any kind of strong impulse

Around 1960s ish you get minimalism which I think is nice

Anyanon have a link for a good Parsifal (just music)? I see the 1962 is the hyped one, but I'll def consider any recs. Thanks in advance.

The Knappertsbutch? Yes it's very good

Any links? It's on YouTube.

youtube.com/watch?v=dzeNnoMmsjM

what do you think of Knappertsbutch?

my only issue with it is that they take the Scherzo too slow. it's very good otherwise.

honestly never understood the obsession with the Busch Quartet. they are very good, true, but I don't think they are so good to feel as if they were utterly irreplaceable. Capet fills a similar niche as them insofar as the string playing goes especially, but I feel as if the Capet are even more charismatic in their renditions. god I miss portamento.

lmao he recorded it in '54 '56 '57 '58 '62

generally too slow, generally too badly played, but occasioanlly brilliant with an inevitable caveat anyway

like, his Bruckner 9 is one of the best on record, but it's also using a garbage edition which usually makes me skip the Scherzo.

What is the best version of Bruckner 8? 1887 or 1890?

Haas' edition includes the best of both worlds - it's based on the 1890 version but includes parts of the 1887 version which he deemed worth keeping.

But overall 1890 is better. The 1887 version has a lot of weird stuff going on overall, honestly. You can listen to Cooke's lecture on it here:

Thank you so much! Do you happen to have any other resources for exploring version issue in Bruckner’s oeuvre?

abruckner.com/discography/ This website has a lot of good information on Bruckner differences between versions. Check the notes.

This is seriously fantastic!

Barenboim is a brilliant instrumentalist. Also, does German really use the Norse “r” (trilled)? Or this just an affectation in performance?

No

Most Germans don't use trilled r, but there are regions that use trilled r in everyday use. Classical lieder and operas are something different. You are supposed to trill the r, the French do the same.

Kna is absurdly based. He can take anything and make it sound like the greatest creation of Man. His only problem is the comparative lack of recordings, that's all that's kept him relatively obscure.

This Strauss intermezzo is one of the greatest recordings the Berlin Philharmonic ever made.

Much better. He first recorded the entire set in mono from 1950-54, but with the advent of stereo he started again in 1958 and finished 30 of them before dying in 1969, so the Hammerklavier is the mono version.

String Trio as the only Schoenberg piece is an odd choice. If you're going to have a late piece then you might as well have the Piano Concerto, which is quite accessible.

Beethoven late quartets are not at all accessible.

Capet vs Busch is kinda like Belcea vs Artemis if you ask me, it's slightly more charismatic primarius/primaria vs superior integration of interpretation across the ensemble

Though playing the opening chords of D. 810 detache is obviously the right way to go

Anyways, best Mozart chamber work and most audacious division of the octave into major thirds this side of the 19th century coming through, in the ultimate interpretation (also French)

youtu.be/TBZiYtd3_rE

It's painfully by the book, ultra-regular in terms of phrasing and telegraphs everything it is about to do (those horn triplets announcing the recap, etc.) - the 19th century understanding of the 'classical'. It lacks the lovable megalomania and messiness of earlier Dvorak, before he got scared of the whole Neudeutsche thing and where it might lead to. And Dvorak just wasn't enough of a nerd (i.e. Brahms) to draw on all sorts of odd, unused paths of the past to really write startling stuff in lieu of that.

What's you guys' opinions on Kurt Sanderling? I'm trying to find out why I find his Beethoven lacking yet find his Sibelius basically unparalleled, especially on the late symphonies.

He kind of got good again on the tone poems because that allowed him to get rid of a lot of form-related weights.

Sanderling is a lot like Böhm or Karajan in that he's primarily a coordinator for music that is thoroughly notated and meat to be played as closely to the score as possible, which is basically 20th century stuff for the most part. He's good at balances, sonorities, all that stuff, but lacks the kind of sense of rhethoric, declamation, and rhythmic nuance beyond what's notated that you need for pretty much all earlier music.

While we're talking about East German/Stalinist conductors good at the 20th century and bad at Beethoven, here's Kegel conducting Sibelius: youtu.be/trZ7ywpdk1o

You don't need lessons but I highly recommend taking them. I taught myself how to play advanced pieces like Liszt's la campanella but it took very long and with a teacher would be much easier.

What the fuck is "Teutonic-sounding", you autistic anachronistic bastard?

Germanness. In music? Dark, compact orchestral timbre, with an emphasis on rhythmic mass and martial effect. And if you can't parse a basic unit of historical natonalist discourse like that, what are you doing in a classical thread?

God damn now that's a shitload of spooks right there

It's spooks all the way down, friend. Saint Max never got that about about dialectics.

"It is manifest that behind the so-called curtain which is supposed to conceal the inner world, there is nothing to be seen unlesswego behind it ourselves, as much in order that we may see, as that there may be something behind there which can be seen."

I've been a admirer of the rosary sonatas for years but just discovered his Harmonia artificioso-ariosa.
Amazing stuff.

The only thing I'm not serious about is including the brief fugato in Op. 111. The Große Fuge is not particularly original and pales in effect and invention compared to pretty much any other late Beethoven fugue. It's not an impressive fugue - it doesn't do much in the way of polyphony or contrapuntal economy. It's not a successful variation movement - it's long stretches of homogenous texture.

there are plenty of recordings that do justice for both the late quartets and sonatas, but you are correct about the Missa Solemnis. the technical demands are incredibly steep there.

probably Kegel's overall despite it being a bit too big-boned for my tastes and the soloists being so-so. the chorus is simply too damned good and the balance between the orchestra and organ is ideal in that recording.

The orchestra's too washed-out. Really, a good choir is a must, but most conductors simply fail to make sense of the motivic fabric of the instrumental portion. If you simply try to follow the dynamics of the score, you end up with a mess. It's super problematic, especially in the Gloria. I think Klemperer 1951 does the best job at this. Listen to the balance here - the presence of the bass line in the beginning, then the brass emerging *only* when it is motivic. Distinguishing between essential, motivic passages and mere harmonic support is where most conductors fall short in this piece once they mastered the insane choral part.

i don't really think this recording is a good example of Klemperer's balances because it's typical Vox garbage. even during its day it was strongly panned for being a good example of a horrible sounding recording, just listen to the awful screechiness of the winds that are obnoxiously highlighted through the overuse of overmiking (0:40), something which isn't noticable on any of Klemperer's other recordings of the piece. and, hell, it's actually toned down here quite a bit because the uploader ran it through some equalization modifications. incidentally, the uploader used the Kegel recording as a reference, and they are quite a fan of it as well i believe.

don't get me wrong, it's a great interpretation, but painful to listen to insofar as the orchestral sound is concerned.

Thanks. Yeah maybe it's been too long since I last listened to it. Will give it another serious listen.

What do you mean "vox garbage" ?

Wagner sucks cock.

Okay... Thanks for bumping the thread tho

but the Abschied from Das Lied von der Erde is really good

petzold

This piece makes you suicidal. Wahler makes you feel his pain in his last works.

>Wahler
wouldn't it be great if the melted into one person like Tuvix?

Fuck I just saw that the other day. The ending gave me palpitations, it was great.

Probably my favorite Mahler that I've seen live - love me some pseudo chinese music. That or his 2nd, which is just excessive.

Beethoven-Mozart

Is this the most serious sounding melody Mozart ever wrote?

Pfitzner

I'll take that as an yes.

For novels it should be an illustration by the author (if there are any), like the Hobbit. A lot of covers have Tolkien's little doodle of Smaug in them.

it was recorded by Vox, a budget record label at the time which nonetheless attracted a lot of great conductors and performers (Klemperer, Horenstein, Gitlis, the list goes on). a lot of their recordings, especially the early ones, kind of sound like ass unfortunately.

Every time I read "the list goes on" I chuckle because of the boomer meme

When I think "serious" Mozart, I don't think of throwaway canons like this. Rather, this comes to mind: youtu.be/a0_ElTS3be0

Hi guys, please can you help me.

I recognise this music, but it's really bugging me that I can't remember what it is.

What the fuck is with that sound

What are your guys thoughts on this lad? Is it me or all his music feels like a one song but in different iterations?

shit orchestral and chamber music (with the exception of the timpani concerto and the symphony 9), very good film music. He is generic, yes, but at least his rythms are inventive and imaginative

I like his violin concerto, but besides that most his music is only good when used as a soundtrack imo.

What are some funny compositions?
