I think Brendel does Schubert better than Richter, but it could just be personal preference.

Who is the Lou Reed of baroque music?

>>62008227
I'm glad you enjoy the music, my friend.

Guys please I need to know

>>62008392
what release?

>>62008706
Start out with Boulez' renditions of Stravicky. I know the archives has his Petrushka and Pulcinella.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-ehSS3bhB0

you should include all these old school folders

>>62008909
I looked through the megas and archive and a lot of the archive links are dead. i guess i'll check rutracker but i don't know what to look for.

same goes for these:
>>62008517
except i was able to find Miraculous Mandarin in OP

>>62008208
>>62008534

>>62009207
yea but wheres Firebird? i need it for my commute today.

>>62009429
Aw shit, I didn't notice that. I apologize anon.

Your best bet will be using a youtube downloader to download a video with Firebird, then convert that vid into mp3 with VLC.

>>62009599
Those mp3 files would have a horrible bitrate. I don't recommend doing this. I'm pretty sure he can find Firebird on rutracker or even soulseek.

>>62009599
i'll try to find it on rutracker i don't want to get a low quality youtube rip.

>>62009647
Did you find it?

>>62009899
not really because it's all seamless full album in one track flac rips that i have no way of splitting into individual tracks.

Messiaen - Turangalîla-Symphonie

>>62010076
Whichever you prefer, because I don't know enough about it. The plan was to get Boulez' rendition of Firebird but i'm open to anything you think fits in a similar category. I have a long commute everyday so I have a lot of time and patience to discover classical stuff.

So far my favorites have been Stravinsky's Pétrouchka and Rite of Spring and a lot of stuff by Satie, specifically his later stuff like Parade and Relache.

I'm gonna leave in about an hour but I always lurk these threads and i'll definitely listen to anything you upload.

>>62010244
I'm uploading Boulez' rendition.

>>62010244
>>62010076
and btw, i can convert flac to mp3, no problem. The problem is a lot of classical torrents on rutracker are full album rips in one track, and I have no way to split them into individual tracks.

>>62010278
I know what you mean. Those things are tricky for me, too. By the way, the upload is going to be done in about 15 minutes. You're gonna have it for your commute.

Which performer would you recommend?

>>62013362
1 - Argerich

2 - I'm biased towards Petrov because he was the first I heard but Bronfman and Ashkenazy are good too. Just avoid Kissin as much as possible

3 - Argerich. I unfortunately like Yuja Wangs interpretation too.

4 - Ashkenazy

5 - Richter

>>62013566

>I unfortunately like Yuja Wangs interpretation too.

The only way Yuja Wang can be enjoyed - unfortunately.

>>62013719
At least she isn't Kissin or Lang Lang senpai. We all have guilty pleasures

Because Calcium went through a period were he decided the best way to discredit Stravinsky's music was by posting a picture of Stravinsky naked with a 'tiny penis'. After establishing this, he would assert that Bartok had a huge dick and that made his music superior

>>62032048
>You can do it pretty easily on foobar
No you can't. If you play it in Foobar it splits up the tracks but it doesn't literally split them into individual files which is what I need to listen in my car.

That's it. It isn't practical and even though that poster went out of his way to split the album up for me it left gaps between each section which really ruins the piece.

I know you're going to say that a piece doesn't need to be split into individual sections, and I agree with you but an album with several pieces shouldn't be combined into one track either.

>>62036211

1. Drag the .cue file into foobar, it'll show you a track-list
2. Select all the tracks shown
3. Right-click, go to convert
4. Set up a conversion 'template' to output whatever type of file you want and make the destination whatever folder you want it in.
5. Convert

You then get your individual tracks and you can delete the single-track rip since you don't need it any more.

>>62042675
Can you post it here?

>>62042663
If you're truly interested you might want to look into Beethoven and see if you can find some material on his feminine and masculine themes in his symphonies.
Feminine themes tend to be more melodic while masculine themes are more rhythmic, however I am not 100% if this just relates to Beethoven specifically.

I've been getting into classical music recently and it's completely changed my outlook on music in general. I understand why people say that other genres are basic and boring in comparison. If I would have discovered classical music at a younger age I don't think i'd be able to appreciate a lot of the genres I do now, but I'd also know a lot more about classical as well. I listen to classical the same way I listen to noise and experimental music.

Right now I don't know anything about the language of classical music. I just sample things here and then look deeper into the pieces I like.
What are some terms and phrases that I should learn to get a better understanding of the genre and be able to talk about it clearer?

>>62044372
The only one you really need to know is autism. The rest are really just supporting words.

Just learned that the judges for my college transfer audition probably won't ask for a modern piece like Seven Tunes From China by Bright Sheng. A shame, too, since I've just about gotten the first and third movements to sound almost decent.

Any suggestions in regards to a concerto in the standard cello repertoire I could replace it with? I have a whole year to learn it.

>>62045983
Anything from Haydn to Shostakovich is what they are looking for probably. Elgar, Tchaikovsky rococo variations, and Dvorak are all pretty standard choices.

Any love for Schmitt here? His piano works are insanely good.

If you're ever looking for an equivalent to Ravel's Gaspard, check out Schmitt's Ombres.

>feminine
Its all in the way you write. If you write beautiful soft wind parts, in a major key, its going to sound feminine. If you write heavy, loud stabbing parts in the strings, its going to sound masculine.

The Mozart piece
>>62017742
Goes between the two extremes, but seems to mostly settle on the light feminine material. Especially around 0:25 he begins to really get sentimental and slushy.

idk anon. It feels like penderecki with no soul or meaning. What were you trying to say? did you feel like you communicated it? The strings at 3:36 are awesome, but all the tapping and scraping of the previous 3 minutes feels unnecessary.

I'm assuming you're still trying to find your "voice"? the strings 4:56 are very nice but its only a couple of seconds.

If you made the whole piece interesting string writing like 4:56 and 3:36 I think it would be much more successful. imo strings scraping and tapping stopped being interested after the 70s.

Always good to get a piece recorded by a real ensemble though, I'm sure you learned a lot from the experience.

post classical that go fast pls

>>62049692
it's not my favorite piece of mine, but I can tell you what I was trying to get across and maybe that will help you understand it

again it's worth noting that this is only part of a longer piece, and (in the fully expanded version) the meaning of the form of this would become more obvious as it's developed and stretched. For its purpose, introducing a form, it's notey, for sure. the arc it follows was intended to evoke futility - building rhythms and harmonies before they're broken by the more-or-less unpitched and arrhythmic tapping sounds. To an extent, I feel like this would've been more obvious if the players had more experience with new music (I was in high school and working with a high school orchestra I was in, which had almost no new music experience, so it was pretty uncoordinated). the arrival point at 3:36 is certainly meant to be fleeting, and its dissolution is part of the form of the piece.

this was all about a year ago, and I don't think I'm going to finish the cycle, mostly because I've moved on from that style (as all young composers do). But it's worth mentioning that there was a very precise personal meaning to the piece, so if it felt meaningless, that was at least a failure of communication and not intent on my part

imo scraping / tapping sounds hold the same merit as any other musical material, as long as it's used in an interesting / meaningful way

It works differently now. we have media and the internet and industries.

it was the 1890s. Everyone looked like that. Look at modern composers like Thomas Ades. They no longer sport massive mustaches (unless they're Karl Jenkins)

>>62054751
>It works differently now
not really, popular music is just as disposable and devoid of interesting content. Lou Reed may have had some influence on bands and popular music, but his name never registered in the classical world, and will surely be forgotten in 50 odd years.

>>62055249
it wouldnt make a difference with/without the mustache

>>62055249
And i wasnt talking about the content of it, it just wont be as disposable with industries and internet/radio spread. Or maybe just the most memorable/enjoyable bands will be remembered and everything else will be disposed. idk

The highest quality music is remembered and re-performed year after year.

Popular music just isn't very high quality. Distorted guitars playing the same riff for 16 minutes with some harsh spoken word over top just isn't quality music. quality "experience" maybe, but not quality music.

>>62055317
damn maybe im not clear enough for you

im talking about how he poses and intended to look like he was some heroic or high class fuck in the pic. The music maybe be good (never heard his though) but that attitude is unacceptable and could probably backfire his creativity to just narcissistic wank.

All artists inherently think they have something important to say. Without a certain cockyness or ego, they wouldn't exist, and would be satisfied to play other peoples music, or just teach for their whole life.

Composers have to have some kind of ego or sense of self-worth in order to create music. If they dont believe their music is some of the best around, they wont have the conviction to actually write it.

Who cares how he looks? listen to his music instead. Classical music isn't about image, unlike popular music. It doesn't matter how a composer looks, we judge them purely by their music. Look at brian ferneyhough. hideous obese man, and yet one of the most respected in the art music world.

Dude, 19th century's people of quality actually were that high class, it was not an act or some cheap theatrics.
He and perhaps Stravinsky were amongst the last exemplars of the old imperial aristocracy. For instance, Stravinsky's statements about politics may seem appalling nowadays.

>>62010007
post the link were you found this?

>>62055577
What I was saying is that repeating a single riff for 17 minutes could only be considered an "experience" not good music. good music gives you a good experience every time, not a "wow that was worthless and ruined my ears" experience.

Good music is made for a great experience, WITH all the technical devices the composer sees fit (although no one but other composers, conductors or musicologists will ever know about the inner workings)

Lou reed made shitty music, using shitty devices and resulted in a poor quality music and a poor quality experience. At least compared to classical music.
All popular music and bands looks pretty inferior when stacked up against art music. Its not lou's fault. He just wasn't a trained composer, nor interested in being part of the art music world.

Go for the standalones instead of trying to tackle the ring cycle. Maybe Tannhauser or Lohengrin first, then the Ring Cycle and then Die Meistersinger if you're still keen. My personal favourite Wagner is Parsifal, but I feel like listening to that before the Ring Cycle is 'cheating'
