I was watching a performance of the 9th Symphony from start to finish for the first time in ages and the sheer ingenuity, finesse, technicality and creativity behind such a work mesmerised me.
Recommend me some other works of musical genius, doesn’t strictly have to be classical.
Thanks for recommendations so far.
MOZART IS FUCKING DEAD.
PICASSO IS DEAD.
Absolutely patrician choice
>works of musical genius
>doesn’t strictly have to be classical.
True, but usually, they are.
Glad to hear op, try
>Mahler's 9th
>Wagner's Der Ring Die Nibelungen (or try Parsifal first if it seems too intimidating, recommendably by Solti)
>Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and Matthaus Passion
>Prokofiev's Piano Concertos (I really liked the Ashkenazy rendition)
>Handel's Messiah
And pic related
>Solti
Fuck that. If you're going Parsifal definitely go with Kubelik
>Ring
Bohm, but there's no perfect one.
>Handel's Messiah
Absolutely Jeffrey Thomas' recording
>Bach's Matthaus Passion
Bernius for this one
Don't have a 'favorite' to rec the brandenburgs and don't much care for Prokofiev
>that many Germans
>no French or Italians or anyone else, really
You disgust me. OP, try:
>Palestrina's Missa Tu es Petrus
>Faure's La Bonne Chanson
>Sibelius' 7th Symphony
>Verdi's Requiem
>Milhaud's Symphony No. 8
>Verdi
>Sibelius
>Frenchmen
Lmao
Ah, I see once again, the eternal (((Kraut))).
try again
Scriabin is great, but your dismissal of the French shows how much you still have to learn.
Grimes - Visions
There is absolutely nothing French worth anyone's time after the 17th Century
You are utterly and extremely wrong, if only for the fact Ravel exists.
>Ravel
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
>if only for the fact Berlioz exists
ftfy pleb
>implying
You utter nog.
not him, but Debussy is the obvious counterexample
also ween is really good
I AM SHAKESPEARE IN THE FLESH
>Berlioz
He's a second pressing of Mehul, Cherubini and Lesueur. He's good because of his great storytelling skill. He's nowhere near the best the French produced in the 19th and 20th Century, much less overall.
