No Anon. You mean /classical/. Not /artmusic/.
I haven't been listening to Baroque composers for a while. How about you guys pick the Baroque composer I listen to?
>>48455549
Lets start with some beautiful Corelli
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VDX8e9JxQc
Favorite Purcell pieces everyone?
>>48455600
I mean both. Add in 'art music' to keep the autists happy.
I think you should listen to... Scarlatti. mostly because I know fuck all about him and would be interested to see what you come back with
Glorious Schütz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9BB4g03nnk
currently listening to praetorius' organ music from "musae sioniae", on a glorious mean-tone tempered organ.
might continue with matthias weckmann, one of schütz' most important pupils, one that lets you approximate how glorious schütz' organ playing and music must've been.

I wish this would keep CLT out.
>>48455992

>>48456013
one can only hope
Some nice Telemann:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQpoAraumYQ

Vivaldi, hack or genius?
>>48456267
His Concerto Grossi are especially amazing.
(listening to Scarlatti's Concerto Grossi right now
the art of adolf busch - volume 1
https://mega.co.nz/#!LR82lQxR!gws7CNZZ268K3d0lGXHzGTLOXFQ9JLPW4vkQMZ7HXK0
because someone asked for a good remaster of the busch quartet's late beethoven: this set contains all of the late quartets, sans no. 13 in b-flat (which i could supply from other issues), as well as nos. 1 and 9. also included are schubert's 14th and 15th quartets, brahms' first two quartets, as well as his piano quintet, his piano quartets and the clarinet quintet. the sound has the typical limitations of the 30s and 40s, but the excellent mastering preserves the crucial overtones by not filtering out the surface noise - the detail and timbre of the playing is thus preserved. the performances are superlative, flexible and devoted to the smallest details, and the unique style of the busch quartet - even the timbre of their heavily bowed gut strings is immediately recognizable - is timeless.
frankly, if i had to pick a single collection of chamber music for a lonely island, it'd be this collection.
>>48456391
whoops forgot the cover
>>48456317
Genius red priest who was largely forgotten after the baroque period, and only rediscovered in the 20thC
>>48456317
I hate those idiots.
Vivaldi is fantastic.
>>48456391
if you're looking for a single performance to start with, go for beethoven's ninth quartet - it's a virtuoso performance (with no cuts or edits of any kind, literally live), yet the virtuosity of the ensemble is always in service of explicating the music's content.
i've never heard the fugue-rondo-finale sound more exiting.
>>48456317
if he was good enough for j.s. bach he is good enough for you
Baroque is only good in small doses
>>48456391
Decent! Does it have vinyl pops though? not really a problem, but kind of throws me off. I think I have the CD with Brahms piano and clarinet quintets.
>>48456317
Pretty good. Paganini is better though.
>>48456499
j.s. bach didn't have schoenberg or carter though
Reminder that this is the best Art of Fugue and that poly-style has shit opinions.
>>48456632
Thanks ame
>>48456632
that's not the best art of fugue though
>>48456667
Or maybe you're CLT. whatever. same thing.

>Inb4 Bach helped work on the piano
Harpsichord, Clavichord, Organ, orchestra or nothing.
>>48456632
not even the best art of fugue on piano
>>48456391
goatest violinist that ever was goat btw
also listen to that gielen 9th i talked to you about, you're gonna like it
fun fact: gielen apparently used to have a survivor from warsaw as either the intro or the segway from movement 3 to 4 in beethoven's 9th. what a conductor. what a human beingé
>>48456555
doesn't have pops or excessive noise, it's a really great master.
>>48456954
Amazing, thanks for the upload
I love how classical threads often devolve into which version of art of fugue is superior.

>>48456391
the music parlours transfers arent bad at all also, for ones that reduce noise
>>48456953
busch was a better ensemble violinist, but individually i like szigeti or huberman more for violinists from the same "generation"
>>48457496
I maintain that Musica Antiqua is the definitive art of fugue. That's always been my position, and so far no other version has come close.
beethoven - string quartets nos. 7 & 13 (busch quartet
https://mega.co.nz/#!zUEx1JBL!eyBO6dc2dVImeVHylcfUT3U-F4dDi-7OfZn4FRuM3OY
the remaster of this issue doesn't rise up to the level of the japanese emi stuff i uploaded, but it's still serviceable, i could also offer another, private transfer of no. 13
>>48457572
maybe i need to hear more szigeti, i'm more used to his later, kinda sloppy recordings.
>>48455600
listen to Charpentier
>>48457572
Francescatti is good too, especially in chamber music
>>48455739
Listened to Scarlatti's Concerti Grossi (or whatever the plural is. Never figured that out). Good pieces, but surpassed by Handel's. Might move onto his Cello Sonatas now.
and huberman well, i've only really heard him in the beethoven and tchaik vc. don't like either works
>>48457729
I'm having trouble finding Scarlatti that I like...
Let me know if you come across any gems
>>48457811
The stuff I had heard from him that I loved were his keyboard sonatas. Schiff has a great recording of them.
Also, this 1st Cello Sonata is a fun piece I quite enjoy.
>>48457701
>Francescatti
Francescatti is great too. i just didn't include him because i consider the other guys more of an older generation of violinists
>>48457911
>yfw the music on the "Originals" logo spells "D-E-C-C-A"

>>48457603
What is with the 'private transfer' of no. 13? I mean, how does it sound in comparisson? Is it another group performing or just another issue and the same quartet playing?
>>48458042
same performance, but taken from LPs.
>>48458008
I am also interested in this.

>>48456632
You don't know shit.
>>48458756
Strictly speaking, aesthetically Mendelssohn was probably even closer to Mozart than Beethoven so perfectly understandable. At least you attributed it specifically to opera which was a medium Mozart wrote in a more proto-romantic style than his symphonies and chamber works.
>>48458998
Oh, good to hear. I consider myself pretty familiar with classical music and knew Mendelssohn was largely inspired by Mozart directly. It didn't seem too overtly romantic from just that first listen. Somehow I knew the piece was probably too interesting to be Mozart. Oh well.
Some beautiful Scarlatti sonatas on Harp:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brvlUVIVyis
>>48459390
Gorgeous!
BTW you should check out his Cello Sonatas. I liked them a lot more than his Concerto Grossi. Fun pieces to listen to.
>>48459435
Will do. I take it they are unaccompanied? fuck this romantic idea that a sonata must be accompanied by piano.
>>48459454
Actually, nope. It's accompanied by a chamber orchestra from what I could tell.

Hey /classical/,
Complete /classical/ pleb here, but I'm really enthusiastic about learning more. Is there like a /classical/ essential chart anywhere or any personal recommendations anyone can give me? I have really dug the whole minimalism thing e.g. Phillip Glass and Steve Reich for awhile, but have only recently started to look into the old masters like Beethoven and have been surprisingly blown away. Symphony No. 3 in E flat major gave me actual goosebumps. BUT unlike a lot of contemporary classical artists, I've noticed it's a little more difficult to find anything resembling a conventional album when it comes to people like Beethoven and Mozart. Honestly, I've only ever had luck finding stuff like "Best of Beethoven".
Which recordings should I look into?!?! ty bbs.
handel's organ concertos are amazing, haven't listened to them in a long time though
>>48461366
what is your problem with sofronitsky?

Some of Purcell's greatest. I had thought that "Remember not Lord our Offenses" and "Hear my Prayer O Lord" (which are Purcell's two best anthems) were included, but was mistaken.
But the funeral music as a whole is just stunning.

Schutz is the bomb. His Symphoniae Sacrae are great
>>48456317
Pretty based. I've got The Academy of Ancient Music and Andrew Manze's CD entitled "Concert for the Prince of Poland". In 1740, Frederick Christian, Prince Elector of Saxony, visited Venice and the pieces on the CD were performed as a concert for him. The CD itself is a wonderful recording of Vivaldi, but the historical context makes it more interesting too.

>>48463145
What do you want? It doesn't sound like anything much, just some really low quality brass and wind stuff
>>48463392
It's actually synthesized entirely, by me.
I'm just trying to see how to improve the sounds, and sound design. And I didn't originally mention this, because obviously half of you are pretentious fuckwits (Half aren't) who would be like "Oh - I knew it wasn't real instruments", so judge it differently and not give me the feedback I'm looking for, (how to make it sound more realistic and better) just wanker judgements and opinions, rather than critical listening.
Thanks for replying at least, Anon.
>>48463444
Well I can't hear much in the way of string timbres coming through there. It just sounds pretty muddy. I know very little about what you can do with synthesizers, but if you're aiming to make it sound more "natural", you could try to improve the clarity
>>48463444
If you want high quality orchestral sounds you have 2 options:
Record a real orchestra with good mics/preamps/mixers and a recording engineer on site.
OR
Buy high quality samples from a company like East West, VSL, Spitfire Audio etc. Then write with them carefully in a DAW. Note this will never sound exactly like a real orchestra, and has severe limitations, but can do passable work for TV or Film, and serves good for mock-ups.
>>48463477
Thanks Anon. Appreciate it. I've only tried to do brass and winds actually, strings are even harder (for me currently) to synthesize. I'm also not very familiar with classical music in general which doesn't help but sound design and synthesis is a passion and joy of mine.
Yeah, I guess the worst part is the bass, low end and mids. I could do a much more realistic job with expensive sample library based on recordings of real instruments, but that's not the exercise. And there's also lots of FX and production techniques I could use too, to 'cheat' but my goal is recreating convincing realistic orchestral stuff purely with synthesis. (A lofty goal if I've ever made one!)
A 'turing test' of sound design, if you will. So you can see why I didn't just mention this in the first place I'm sure.
Thanks again.

Concerto for Two Trumpets is hype shit m8.
>>48466441
Novelty of his melodically driven music soon wears off after the nth pressing. A lack of coherence in the concerti due to the contraction of the progressive contraction of the riternello and lengthening of the episodes. Rather impulsive treatment of the thematic material, marked by an arbitrary selection of motives to develop and modification of the riternello without cause. Very lightweight slow movements. Lack of balance between soloist and orchestra in the solo concerti. Rather unremarkable output of sonatas. Sacred music of questionable merit when compared with his contemporaries. And bad borrowing practices where he took music from others essentially unmodified (unlike Handel). In short, it's the personality of the music instead of the refinement of their construction which captures the audience, not that it's a bad thing, but it's not a diet you can live solely on.

I'm on a funeral march binge, weird as it sounds, give me some funeral marches, I've heard the one in Eroica (of course), the one in Beethoven's 12th sonata, the ones in Mahler's 1st and 5th symphonies, the b-minor chopin one, siegfrieds funeral march and the one from some romantic trombone concerto. Also, has anyone here tried writing a funeral march? Maybe got any tips?

I've never tried to write one... interesting. Now that I realize I've never written one, I'm going to have to have a try.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_march
I'm going to recommend the Diabelli funeral march for M. Haydn, the Grieg funeral march, the Dead March from Saul (Handel), the Kodaly funeral march in Hary Janos, that Purcell funeral march from the Queen Mary funeral music and the 2nd movement of the Brahms Requiem

More than that (didn't trip then), but I'm just too trusting of people in general.
Jon Cage is shit. His autistic use of silence is generic and repetitive as fuck; all of his pieces are boring and silent, mostly in silent keys devoid of sound; and his music
>>48468721
oh, so you probably haven't noticed that /classical/ posters falseflag posts lauding modern music/trashing traditional music to create a marginalized hivemind and make sheep like you spout idiotic words like "avant-teens"
word of advice
>>48468770
Hell I dunno man, I just come here to discuss classical music.

so it bothers you when someone spouts the "firetruck" word but not "avant-teen"? sounds quite hypocritical

/classical/ overrates mozart so much that nobody even considers haydn, sammartini and salieri anymore despite them being superior composers
>/classical/ play the victimised elite but in reality are the impotent privileged, failing to manipulate the manpower available
You know it to be true. If the tripfags used even half their talent for shitpostery towards community OC this would be one of the best boards on 4chan. Think how much posturing their memes cause around here. Classical is now the biggest "patrician" community instead of obscure rock music. People are scared to love the "firetruck" romantics and glorify the classical period instead. /bleep/ has so much shitposting and now people can write off entire genres as >muhtimbres. The list goes on.
CLT complains all arguments boil down to >muhfeels but doesn't try to change it. /mu/ could have a wikia. It could be like soundcloud comments on waveforms except annotations to classical and DAW notation instead. They could include hyperlinks to Wikipedia and Grove where CLT copypastes all his arguments from. Instead of complaining because not everyone has the same liberal arts degree as him he should bring his knowledge to the contexts of the board. This way people would be talking about the same specific parts of songs instead of >muhharmony>muhfeels>muhadhominem thinking they're talking about the same thing.
>>48470353
>them being superior composers
Mozart confirmed for underrated.
>>48470353
I still rate Haydn very highly. I've been meaning to listen to some more Salieri, I think I heard one opera and wasn't overawed by it. More of a Gluck fan for classical opera, which I suppose is something we owe Sammartini for (in a way) since he taught Gluck.
Never actually seen Sammartini mentioned in a /classical/ thread before though, so I don't think it's a case of no longer discussing him, just that he's never been discussed
>>48470353

Because Chopin's melodies and harmonies are more intricate.

I'm going to be faffing about on the continent in December. I know a qt who's living in Berlin, so I might have to see if I can attend and crash at her place.
I could go to the Goldberg Variations concert in 2015, which is a bit closer to where I'm going to be.

3. There's not much social incentive. Being a music nerd has strong ties to establishing and expressing identity. Because of the lack of distinguishable history and cultural markers, there aren't many statements one can make by gravitating towards classical music and certain classical artists, and there's very little potential to branch off into groups (Beatlemaniacs, Metalheads, hip-hop heads, etc.) and communities such as this one.

> I think I have a really really bad association with classical because I was raised in an extremely formal, rigid, tense, emotionless home growing up. Classical music comes across to me as mirroring a lot of these characteristics. Stuffy, rigid, formal.

Given that this is my favourite Piano Trio, I am thinking I need to listen to more Piano trios. Give me more piano trios guys!
Rate his symphonies from most based to least based
>>48475875
Go and listen to Schubert's Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat right now. One of the best ever written.
I've been enjoying Saint-Saens' Piano Trio No. 2 as well recently, so that's probably another one to listen to.
Then Brahms Piano Trio No. 3 in C Minor, and Mendelssohn's Trios No. 1 +2 (then see if you can spot the link between Brahms' 3rd trio and Mendelssohn's 2nd)

I wonder what will happen when CLT finally realizes he is a simpleton. Suicide? Violent Rampage? Sexual Dysphoria? Maybe a combination. Personally I would put even money on him shooting up his local Philharmonic in a red slip and high tops.

I am noticing a familiar motiff in the first movement. Are you sure Schumann has not used this motiff as well?
Well Der Rosenkavalier has finished. Glyndebourne were sounding in good voice, although just listening to opera (unless you know the particular opera very well) isn't really that fulfilling.
Tomorrow's Prom is bretty good.
Gnosis - Tavener (World Premier)
Violin Concerto No. 2 - Bartók
Symphony No. 10 in E Minor - Shostakovich
The Prom will be performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ji?í B?lohláve. The Bartok concerto will be played by soloist Isabelle Faust
Leaving aside the obvious >Shostakovich, this is going to be a great concert. Sir John Tavener, who died earlier this year, is a mystic/sacred minimalist in the same sort of vein as Arvo Part, who is well-appreciated in /classical/. Along with Gorecki, these three made up the triumvirate of sacred minimalism, and the premiere of a Tavener piece (unfortunately posthumously) should be very enjoyable.
The Bartok concerto should be great too; Faust has been a fantastic interpreter of Bartok's violin oeuvre, so the chance to hear her play will be wonderful.
>>48476252
In which? The Brahms or the Mendy?
>>48476252
In which trio?
>>48476363
The Mendelssohn. I've definitely heard that theme in the fist movement before and I think probably in a Schumann piece. Unfortunately I put it on while doing other stuff. It was in a classical thread and I was busy playing a board game which was timed.
>>48476210
A couple weeks ago. It had always been a close call.
>>48476467
Which Mendelssohn trio, 1 or 2? It's possible that there is something in common, but the link I was talking about was between Mendelssohn and Brahms
>>48476629
Although Schumann was purportedly a big Mendelssohn fan (and a fan of the first trio in particular, after Mendelssohn revised it to be "more Schumannesque")
>>48476701
I meant the second one. I am looking into this now.
Just listened to the 3rd quartet. When does it start getting real good?

Also the Trout Quintet is boring and highly overrated. Its basically an overly elaborate version of the lieder with some other padded movements. Death and the Maiden is a great work though.
>>48477203
I have no problem listening to an opera, I'm not going to shy away from listening to radio broadcasts of them, but to claim that taking out the visual element of an artform which relies on both visual and aural elements does not affect the experience is being contrarian.
And on the Part note: go to the archive and search 'arvo'. The overwhelming majority of posts (on /mu/, not just /classical/) are extremely positive towards Part.
>>48477296
