Nothing like Rachmaninoff, but I've been bingeing on Hummel lately. Kind of the halfway point between Mozart and Chopin, good stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYr7z1RYgaM

I'd previously kinda written off Yuja Wang without listening to her, but I really liked this performance of Prokofiev so I've been checking her stuff out lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVpnr8dI_50

Gnumonic posted:Yeah, I'm far from an expert but I just checked out him performing my favorite piano piece (3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata), and I don't have the words for it, but I think he's sorta.. missing the point of what Beethoven was going for. He wasn't missing anything, he was pretty upfront in interviews about really disliking Beethoven, and the way he plays it is just him making fun of what he sees as over sentimental goop. He talks about it some here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exD8bhJP1eo&t=1911s His Mozart performances are very interesting. He voices the accompaniment at the same level as the melody (like you would for Bach) so all these contrapuntal relationships pop up that you'd never notice ordinarily. It's weird, but kinda fun.

OneSizeFitsAll posted:This isn't a point in his favour. I mean not just disliking Beethoven (which is pretty unusual for a classical music lover and for me almost insane, albeit fine everyone has their own likes and dislikes and that's their prerogative), but demonstrating that dislike by playing Beethoven's music in a mocking way? Just play repertoire you like and that you wish to do justice to. It is a point in his favor, and also one I don't agree with. Gould was a genius in his way, but I don't think anyone wants to make him emperor over how all classical music is interpreted.

Gnumonic posted:I just don't get why you'd put in the effort to learn a bunch of incredibly difficult pieces, sign a contract to record them, only to show how much you hate them... If he were a composer it'd be one thing. I like Zappa's hilarious musical quotations as much as the next person, but as a performer it's just weird. Credit where it's due, I highly doubt Gould would hate on something without a very thorough familiarity with it. That said, the guy refused to go see his mom on her death bed because he was scared of germs, he had some seriously legit mental problems. But he was a genius and remains, hands down in my mind, the best performer of Bach that has ever been recorded. facepalmolive posted:Technique-wise Moonlight 3rd really isn't all that difficult -- very approachable for the somewhat serious piano student, and certainly a breeze for any serious performance-level pianist. And I mean, it's likely he's not spending that much effort on the interpretation part of it. Yeah, it's not just you, I don't get those Ukrainian pianists at all.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I accidently spent all afternoon with the Haydn trumpet concerto in E- flat on in the background and it was wonderful. I listen to NPR classical like Performance Today alot and I can occasionally get into more modern or romantic stuff, but really the 18th C. is my jam. Seeing you mention it made me wonder too, so I went and found this: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-great-composers-podcast-a-classical-music-podcast/id1125785164 The guy's delivery is not great, very much music history TA vibes, but I'm two episodes in and enjoying it so far. Wrt, what makes Bach sound like Bach (et al), you might like Nahre Sol's youtube channel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPvAqyDd1aI Oh also, on the off chance you're interested in more complex analysis of orchestral stuff I really like this guy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBB9UDpLfIA Stringent fucked around with this message at 03:59 on May 19, 2021 |

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Why does spotify make trying to find classical music so difficult? Is there a better streaming thing for classical? It has lots of great recordings but makes them impossible to find because it doesn't distinguish between composer and performer i've not actually tried this, but it was getting promoted a while back, might be worth a shot? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/idagio-classical-music/id1014917700

busalover posted:Are there maybe more composers that experimented with automated playback? With todays Machine Learning algorithms stuff like this gets to a whole other level. more jazz than classical, although you could argue the line is kinda blurry, but you might enjoy dan tepfer. this video is good because he explains a bit about the technology he's using: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaadsrHBygc

zenguitarman posted:The war in Ukraine is hitting the classical music world. Anna Netrebko leaves the Met and Valery Gergiev is losing gigs left and right. Ballsy of the Met, really. Netrebko is one of the biggest opera singers of the 21st century, but she's said some pretty weird poo poo about Putin in the past. Gergiev has been much more in the mix with Russian politics and art for a long time. was hard for them to not see this coming after all the american musicians getting blacklisted after the iraq invasion
