Is this album for plebs or patricians?

plebs

plebs no doubt

Plebs

Pleb as fuck

Haven't heard it yet, but his Four Seasons was pretty excellent.

yea i think this album is for plebs as i wrote above but his four seasons stuff is excellent. this album was just too saccharine and emotional for me, hit mostly familiar notes

Thanks for the input (seriously)

np friend happy to still occasionally use this board for its long-archaic purpose of "music discussion"

This place has never been less than 98% chaff since at least 2012, but it's just always had the best wheat.

I don't think it's bad, but it's not much that hasn't already been done

>I have no idea what I'm talking about the post

Four seasons was gimmicky and musically stale. This one actually had Richter coming into his own and has some excellent arrangements.

idk its just my opinion man, although i do have a degree in music for what its worth, not sure what id have to have to know what im talking about

i just didnt like how dramatic this album felt, it was a sort of melancholy drama, too, which is my least favorite kind. I also wasnt too impressed by the arrangements, not sure what you're hearing that i missed out on, but there wasnt anything that really mcwowed me on this one

Richter is a gateway musician to patrician.

Hmm alright. Having heard his previous work which is usually pretty banal I felt this was him maturing as a composer His stuff is pretty lowest common denominator in terms of melody and harmony but this was an exception imo.

>>71066573
It was mostly diatonic harmony, with a little bit of modal mixture. The rhythms were interesting sometimes, there was a bit of 5/8 and 7/8. The production was pretty interesting too, really good use of compression and tremolo effects

>>71066573
that's so weird, i felt the opposite. I mean i liked four seasons because i thought it was basically like pop classical deconstructionism, and it was accessible and fun to listen to so that was probs my favorite by him

but without the energy idk, i just dont find his music that appealing, and this album didn't have as much energy in it

>>71066589
Yeah he ventures into chromaticism at times whereas on past albums it's very saturnine diatonic stuff, so definitely considerable growth in that area. I agree about the production too, some nice timbers on this album.

>>71066596
I just felt 4 seasons was boring. There's a lot more going on in this one comparatively.

>Thinking Richter's remixing Vivaldi was worth listening to
Fuckin plebs m8, when will they ever learn

Richter is pleb as fuck. Listen to some decent contemporary classical. Part, Pendercki, Lachenmann, Murail, Ferneyhough, Auerbach, Tavener, Psathas, literally anyone but Richter.

listen to whatever you want. having said that, maxxie boy is not pleb. sleep is fantastic. vivaldi is great etc etc
