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
