I don't have a guide on me, but any of Mozart's/Beethovens symphonies, sonatas or quartets would be a great place to start for classical. Generally with any art music it helps to know what you're listening to, so the first time I listen to a mildly popular work I usually look up an analysis and follow along while listening. Most classical music is just the statement of a few themes (melodies) and how the composer adds interest to them, varies/develops them. There are some key terms relating to form of movements like sonata form, fugue, scherzo etc. and the sections of those movements like 'subject'/'theme, 'variation', 'fugue', development, recapitulation and so on (as well as melodic treatments like inversion, diminution etc.) that are important to know. The more you learn the better really. Here's a guide for Beethoven's 3rd Eroica:

>>62428765
People here hate tchaikovsky, so prepare to get memed on.

Beethoven: go with 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th symphonies first (that order is good enough)

Tchaikovsky: 5th, 4th, and 6th symphonies on that order

For Mozart I'd recommend his piano concerti over his symphonies

Piano Concerti Nos: 23, 27, 17, 20 and 21 are phenomenal
For his symphonies listen to his last three (39, 40, 41)

I don't know enough about versions, to recommend anyone to you. The MEGA folders all hace good interpretations, however.
>>
>>62428765
For Tchaikovsky, you have to listen to his violin concerto

Anyone know where I can find a bunch Ferenc Farkas' music?

>>62430058
this is pretty good advice here.

beethoven symphonies i rec leibowitz (chesky) karajan (Deutsche grammophon aka DG) or cluytens (EMI) cycles. i myself am not a fan of karajan cycle but for all purposes starting out it doesnt really matter in my opinion

tchaikovsky get mravinsky on DG

mozart theres a lot of recordings, if i had to recommend a single album then i would go with decca's curzon set

also any mozart's piano concerti after 17 is fine (they're usually lumped together in albums anyway)

mozart symphonies get schuricht on scribendum or walter on sony columbia
>>
>>62430239

Tchaikovsky isn't well respected here (with good reason) But that is one of the most essential pieces of music ever written by him, along with The Nutcracker, Pique Dame, All Night Vespers, String Sextet and the late Symphonies

>>
>>62430750
What are those good reasons? Not trying to argue, I'm genuinely curious.
>>
>>62430975
If we're including this, then there's a lot more we can include, like Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, the overture to Mozart's opera the Marriage of Figaro, the first movement of Beethoven's fifth symphony, the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, and numerous others.

But IMO, nothing is memier than Pachelbel's Canon in D (except maybe Toccata and Fugue in D minor)

I actually like Tchaikovsky for the most part besides some of the meme pieces, but one of most central criticisms of Tchaikovsky according to some anons was his lack of melodic development, in other words his music was at times extremely repetitious with little to no variation on the theme.

I'm not classically trained so I may have described it an ignorant way

>>
>>62434742
the way i was first exposed to it was the Boulez/Chereau Ring, and that's a good place to start.

it's a little problematic when it comes to the Bayreuth acoustic, in that the singers take way too much prominence over the orchestra (it should be noted that Der Ring, unlike Parisfal, wasn't wrote with the Bayreuth acoustic in mind whatsoever) and a lot of the details of the orchestra can be lost. that, in combination with that particular recording's very wide dynamic range, can make the orchestra a bit hard to hear sometimes. but it isn't a purely symphonic work in the first place, and your first time going through the Ring really benefits from a good visual image of what's happening on the set.

pretty sure all the Boulez stuff is on YouTube with english subtitles.
>>
>>62434742
Find a subbed version on youtube and watch it. That's what I did. Wagner's librettos are so drawn out you'll never lose track of what's going on. He loves to repeat himself.

I don't know which version is objectively good, but I listened to Pierre Boulez's version from Bayreuth in 1987. It sounded good to me, with one point of contention: Sigfried was REALLLY hammy, as in hammy even by opera standards.

FUCK BOULEZ TO HELL

TURNED WAGNER'S MUSIC INTO GAY FRENCH SHIT
>>
>>62436134

BOULEZ DESTROYED EVERYTHING HE DID, INCLUDING MUSIC AS ART FORM
>>
>>62435630
i actually kind of liked Manfred Jung's hammy performance, it sounded youthful and dedicated. he also comes off as more of an asshole than most Siegfried's, the bullying of Mime in Act 1 was especially brutal iirc. that's in regard to the acting though, the singing itself was a bit less than successful, and he tires really easily. Gotterdammerung especially suffered from that.

wasn't really too hot on Gwyneth Jones as Brunnhilde either, her diction is kind of sloppy and her voice pretty uneven in Gotterdammerung, but other than that her acting was at least good, and you can tell she is really into it which is more than what I can say for a lot of performers in that role.

but yeah, other than a few nitpicks it's a good set. one thing I didn't like about the Chereau production though is that a lot of the time what is written in the script is not represented accurately with what's going on in the stage.

a more traditional production that is period-accurate is the Levine set, but it's too slow for my tastes

>>62436134
you mean Chereau? otherwise i wouldn't really call Boulez's conducting style in the Ring French. it was an obvious homage to the old Bayreuth conducting style (with lots of fast tempi) in combination with the latter style (transparency, chamber-like balances) which he probably took away from Furtwängler's recording (Solti, Böhm, and Furtwängler and their approaches to the Ring were analyzed by him, and he greatly preffered Furtwängler)

Chereau wasn't actually the first pick for stage director; he was the fourth.

Boulez and Wolfgang Wagner contacted Peter Stein, Ingmar Bergman, and Peter Brook before they approached Chereau.

>>62436837
Whoa, I wonder what a Bergman production would've looked like. That sounds really neat.

This is probably blasphemy, but do you guys know of any modern classical that incorporates modern music, for instance, I could imagine a lot of acid funk or acid jazz-y guitars or something working well in an orchestra.

Who's that composer that used to be loved by Russia (was it Soviet Russia? idk) for composing really grandiose music but then was criticized for doing the same exact thing, then got popular for doing the same exact thing

I think he wrote a symphony in response to that or something, as a criticism of him being shunned for doing that, but that symphony got very popular with the officials

I think it's Shostakovich but I'm not super sure

Is Joyce really worth reading?

I like Pynchon and DFW but Joyce always seems very daunting to me
>>
>>62453709
probably shostakovich's 5th

any less popular composer probably wouldve been censored or thrown in the gulag then

He's the brian ferneyhough of literature

>>62454339
4 seasons is excellent though. Its extremely popular for a reason. Classical isn't like pop music where you can market something shit to make it successful. you need to write some quality music to get recognition. I'm saying 4 seasons is a masterpiece, but it is quality. You're probably just sick of hearing about it. For a baroque violin concerto, its pretty damn good.

>He's the brian ferneyhough of literature
so he doesn't make sense and people who like him are only pretending?
>>
>>62454708
Yeah. It's my favourite opera film. He translated it into Swedish in order to get the common man into classical music.
>>
>>62455284
The people who like him know way too much about [given art form] and have gone beyond the usual conventions into a strange realm where no one really knows if anything is "good" or not, but just enjoy interesting.

Are you one of these folks who hasn't "got" ferneyhough? he set out do to something, he was very successful at it. you either like or dislike it, but you can't deny he achieved something at a very high level.
>>
>>62455349
I was never a big fan of stuff like stochastic, aleatoric, new complexity, etc

I will admit that ferneyhough is unique, it's just not to my taste

Ockeghem, Lassus, Gesualdo, Schutz, Ives, Schoenberg, Webern, Bartok, Martinu, Finzi, Sclesi, Varese, Hosokawa, Schnittke, Murail, Grisey, Ferneyhough.

Dubliners and Portrait of the Artist aren't difficult at all, Ulysses can be appreciated by anyone willing to put a little work into what they read, and Finnegans Wake is great if you're open to new kinds of literary experiences.

Also DFW has no discernible talent.

Metal is the closest, mechanically, to classical. There's so much more you can DO with metal, than say, R&B or hip hop. At least instrumentally and thematically.

Can you imagine a pop song about vikings or dragons? One with an extended instrumental section?
