i haven't heard either but from what i've read, 1955 sounds like it will be better

could've just ended with him saying he liked glenn gould but whatever

>he didn't just say a year
Sure kiddo

>Piano recordings of Baroque music

>tfw your power level is so high people can't even realize it and they think you are slightly crazy.

There's actually 4. in addition to 1955 and 1981 there is one from 1954 and a live performance from Salzburg in 1959 which is often regarded as the best. There's also the Zenph engineering of the 1955 recording where they take out the singing.

>Hasn't listened to Gould's explanation for why Bach on a piano is a good thing

You thought you outplayed me, baka. You only outplebed me. Taste my justice.

They're different. It shows how his interpretation of the material changed over time. Each different in it's own way and very VERY interesting to listen to. In my open onion.

>>70387176
>implying his explanation matters
He's not Bach, he's not the composer.
Pianos didn't even exist when Bach was alive.

I'm in love with classical music
>Oh cool!
You like it to? Who's your favorite composer?

Background... background...

>when you realize that what you consider your power level is the same thing as an autism level, and you no longer have any self confidence because you feel like everything you do or that could possibly be good is actually sucky or not good enough

Bach helped pioneer the modern piano and harpsichord is a shitty sounding limited piece of shit. This is common knowledge.

>>70387195
Gottfried Silbermann built some of the first early pianos and got Bach's assessments of the instruments.

>>70387195
Dear Comrade, Bach barely fucking writes bpms. His work is open to interpretation. It's okay to side with the EVERYTHING the composer said must be followed to the dot, and EVERY STEP should be taken to recreate the music the exact same way it sounded back then but come the fuck on matey that shit isn't set in stone.

He helped pioneer the Pianoforte, not the Piano.
Harpsichord is a beautiful instrument.

Suck on this, b-b-b-baka...

>>70387264
I know, the Piano is a nice instrument, not trying to deny that.
But I'd much rather prefer a Harpsichord or Organ interpretation of Bach's works, which are lacking due to the popularity of the Piano.
Chronological accuracy aside, I can enjoy Piano on Bach works as well.

>>70387266
The pianoforte is an earlier version of the piano, the same kind of mechanism.

>>70387293
Wait... so we're on the same side. Neither of us are plebs then? Why'd you call him a pleb then motherfucker? Eh whatever. Peace is restored. Enjoy your clav, lad.

>Why'd you call him a pleb then motherfucker?
We are on a powerlevel thread, I thought I had some fun but I regretted it quickly because I'm a softie and I stopped it.

>boring cliches

also, nice. you like stuff because its critically approved and "influential" (though like all VU fans, you don't actually know what how it is influential or what it even means to be influential in popular music.)

>inb4 pseudo buzzwords like usual.

Though this isn't what the thread is about at all, I thought 'd put a little spin on it. You see, I'm the pleb in this story. I have a few friends who way out-patrician me. They are all big classical fans, and I can't into classical at all, so as you can expect, our tastes don't mesh very well. They seem to actually be pretty big fans. To put it simply, they know their shit. When I try to expand my taste and get recommendations from them, they shrug it off and say "you wouldn't like it" or "it's hard for people like you to get into classical". When I recommend music to them, they either nitpick about the smallest details ("the piano sounds too digital, not real enough.") or don't listen to it at all (one of them also likes Pogo, so I recommended he listen to Since I Left You. He put all of his effort into avoiding it, refusing to look it up anywhere due to the album name alone.). So, I find myself in the corner, listening to my shitty /mu/core and feeling pretty bad. So, now you know how it feels to be pleb.

It's critically approved for a reason man
Stop being such a contrarian

funny, being VU is for teenage contrarians that think theyre too cool and edgy for the beatles

velvet underground is a shitty band that spawned the most absolutely vile and toxic trends that the public/critics are still falling for to this day, they weren't talentless but they were hacks in how they made mediocre music with the now crucial image of being apathetic and sarcastic, they are such a shit band

>>70389493
literally the exact response in this instance i would expect from a vu fan

you people are so boring, such a weird connection that every single VU fan is the exact same

>>70389555
Those are tumblr hipster bands. So she shut that shit down. Respect to her, I'd probably think you were some fucking tryhard moron in her place too.

You are the literal anti-scaruffi

>>70389600
both of these fall under the public opinion of 'good taste', though the beatles are the only good musicians here. they were genuinely creative and talented without having to resort to cynicism and punk nhilism dude lmao. velvet undergrounds unfaltering critical/commercial success to this day proves that you dont have to actually be creative or particularly talented as long as you set about an image that implies otherwise, so long as you follow the standard "good music' guidelines (pretend like you dont care, namedrop/look smart or intelligent, ALWAYS be a cynic) and VU ticks all these boxes.

>>70389815
Stop typing paragraphs at me you're not going to change my mind if that's what you're trying to do here

>>70389815
you seem upset

>>70389234
it actually happened, that guy was just something else. a few months later he said he only said Grimes because everything else he listens to was Spanish stuff I wouldn't have heard of. DESU he was probably right. He ended up dropping out right before the final exams and moving to Cambodia, or so I heard.
