That Rostropovich/Richter performance was almost perfect.
Been listening to Schubert's final sonata a lot recently.
Beethoven's piano sonata no. 30 is his best
His best violin sonata is no. 7
Sup, been thinking about starting playing cello, can you guys recommened me some good classical music were cello is the primary instrument?
>>60902098

Bach would not have approved of your un-Christian ways. Either choose better music to suicide to or don't kill yourself and continue to enjoy Bach
>>60904359
2edgy4me
>>60904036
32 is just...the most satisfying condensation of everything I look for in music. My desert island piece. Definitely the supreme B sonata.
>>60904444
Please inform me onto how that piece is not the embodiment of desire for death.
>>60904703
Because it's the same idea as cantata 82. Death is to be welcomed because in death you'll get into heaven and chill with God and everything will be great (Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain) but it's not a suicide note, it's just expressing the wish that death will come soon (note: ich wart auf dich; 'I wait for you' not 'I seek you') because heaven is better than anything on Earth.
It's not just death for the sake of not being alive any more, which is general what suicides are.

Low tier classical music waifu. Her interpretations are underwhelming. The only two things of hers I like are her Sibelius (top 3 easily, and i've listened to 10+ interpretations) and her Shostakovich 1 VC.

>>60911820
>Her interpretations are underwhelming.
I actually agree but I love her music from The Village (despite it having a shit ending)
Also Yuja is a good classical waifu too. Her Prokofiev 3 is top tier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4TyQ97Jcr0
>>60911907
She's fucking fantastic honestly. Although I side with Argerich on a lot of classical music interpretations, I find that her's are consistently good, some are even my new favorites.
I saw her perform Prokofiev's 2nd Piano Concerto live and it stands as one of the greatest classical concerts i've ever seen. I had a perfect view of her hand and pedal work and it was incredible. So much energy on top of being really attractive and sweet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHO4Ucw9zL4
>>60912036
>Yuja on Prokofiev 2
That's one of her interpretations that doesn't sit well with me. I'd much rather hear Petrov, Ashkenazy or Bronfman play that concerto. At least her Prokofiev 2 isn't as boring as Kissin's though.
I'm not educated on her Scriabin though so I'll have to give your link a listen. It can't be nearly as good as Richter or Sofronitsky's Scriabin though.
Just for laughs here's the worst I've heard Prokofiev played by a professional Pianist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45mXvaIW02c
>>60912140
That left hand sounds weird as fuck... Its like half his body is a bit drunk plodding the piano a bit.
I mean, the guy is a professional, but that is certainly not a preferable recording...
I'm not a music major, I just play and listen so I'm not the best judge or the most knowledgeable.
What do you think of Marc-Andre Hamelin? His compositions are weird, but he's a great pianist imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N1przkk5tA
>>60912227
>I'm not a music major
Neither am I yet.
>What do you think of Marc-Andre Hamelin?

>>60912309
This is probably the best cadenza of any instrument i've ever seen desu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIMzL2-4bjg&t=8m25s
Fucking incredible. The only think that comes close for me is the Prokof 2nd PC cadenza and maybe Janine Jansen's Beethoven VC cadenza .
>>60912466
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIMzL2-4bjg&t=8m25s
This piece showed me just how amazing double glissandi are. I use them a lot in my music now, specifically fourths and sixths.
But yeah Hamelin is amazing

Well, for me it's something like this Im not sure about the 1°, but I guess Ashkenazy

Volodos or young Horowitz for the 3°
Ashkenazy for the 4
Why was Glen Gould so good?
hey I play classical piano, I'm a romantic period girl.
I wanna make a gift for my friend, she's not really into music, but she likes some classical pieces; that super popular bach piece for cello being one of them.
Any ideas on what I should put on a mix CD for her?
I'm looking at >>60900138 right now, those should be helpful.

if u post ur tits ill help you
please respond
>>60914306
Well, I don't know if Bach is a good idea, his cello works are really good but do transcriptions of them would kinda kill their music
And as for keyboard works, they are a bit boring for people who is not much into classical music
I would say romantic pieces like Chopin waltzes, mazurkas or some studies like the op 10 no 3
Debussy it's pretty interesting too
>>60914306

eww, no
>>60914417
right, right thats the problem I've noticed; I much prefer keyboard compositions over anything else but most others dont feel the same. Romantic period waltzes seem like a good pick, thanks for that.

The more one thinks about it the more one realises that Germany was a mistake. Austria is the best country for music, combining northern moderation with southern good-feeling. Germans have this folkish emotional inconstancy, often unleashed as a muddy downpour or rotund self-satisfaction. (Western Canon, pg Bach; pg Beethoven)
>>60923922
>Germans have this folkish emotional inconstancy, often unleashed as a muddy downpour or rotund self-satisfaction
Memes aside, this is mostly true. German music seems to have this inherent cretinous prancing. Whether it's a symphony or a sonata, there's always at the very least one section of incessant da-da-da-da-pom-pom-pom-pom-pom-be-be-be-be-be-ding-ding-ding-ding-bing-bing-bing-bing-wee-wee-wee-wee-wee.
Mozart is not exempt from this though.

Grieg sonatas are cool as fuck, definitely check those out.
Ravel and debussy each wrote some strange impressionistic works worth looking at.

Probably just get her a CD of chopin's most famous pieces. A bunch of stores sell crummy compilations of popular pieces by popular composers, you can probably get one for lik 10-15 dollars. They're usually fine, its just that it ruins the aesthetic enjoyment of listening to the music within the context of consistent players and with a contrasting/complimenting piece.
