Anyone followed this Classic FM Hall of Fame over the weekend?

Looks like we're going to get more butthurt over 'Russian hackers' again. Subtle one this time by surely more than coincidence every single work by a Russian composer has been up significantly on last year. Butthurt levels probably going off the scale if 1812 Overture is no.1.

>>72243836
This. Radio 3 has been the premier broadcaster of classical music and arts and culture programming for 50 years. Classic FM is just a competitor that originated in the mid-90s to provide popular, crossover, easy listening classical music mixed with lighthearted DJ talk for the masses to put on as background noise. And it worked. They've managed to score a 3.5% audience share compared to Radio 3's 1.4% with this dumbed down format that now features Christmas carols all throughout December and an appalling amount of soundtracks to modern mainstream films and video games in regular rotation.

Radio is literally just another mind control device.
The BBC is an unforgivable outlet of government propoganda and globalist shilling.
Radio 3 is a prententious snoozefest of the usual suspects and horrible 21st century compositions featured in some sort of misguided display of the station's "relevance" in the modern art world.
This terrible format is made even worse by the forced inclusion of jazz and world 'music' because "muh progressive diversity" and horrible radio dramas because "muh art and culture".

I don't even know why people bother with Spotify or radio anymore. It's especially great if you're browsing different performances.

Is there any news source free of that though?
>>
>>72244613

Same reason I gave up on going to the Proms desu. I know it's good for a cheap concert by some decent international orchestras but the amount of shit postmodernist pieces they try and ram into programmes now are just stupid. They never sound that good and usually get a shit response even from the more liberal audiences.

But that said, the absolute car crash of that commie Ring they did at Bayreuth last year was hilarious for the audience reaction. Gives you hope that at least some places still exist where the audience are redpilled as fuck about any attempt to shove liberal BS into traditional art. I don't remember hearing a single clap over the heckling for the producer's curtain call.

Why do we even have mega links in the OP? Who downloads music anymore?

>>72244641

It's a shame some just outside that bracket are going downhill though. ENO has been a letdown for years despite the top-tier venue.

Still happy I've never seen a shit Covent Garden production though, even their modern, out-of-context Tannhäuser from a few years ago was actually pretty good.

I sorta experienced the same thing here in LA. We have an annual performance of Beethoven's 9th at the Hollywood Bowl, John Williams (the movie fag) was conducting. The first half was some post modern 12 tone percussive bullshit that his wife wrote and went on for fucking ever, you could see the entire audience of like 10000s just totally bored and inattentive. The 2nd half was the 9th and pretty much everyone with glued, even though it was a middling performance at best.

Classical music is NOT dying, it's the fucking theoretical bullshit they're trying to stuff down our throats that's killing us.

>>72244846

Now I say read none of them and just be your own anchor. It's all fucking bullshit, and I say this as a conservative, I don't read Breitbart or Drudge and I never watch cable news unless there's a legit happening. Even so, I've been far more prescient than the media for years.

I don't think it's an optimal solution at all and it requires experience and judgement, but that's the best we can do in this totally fucked media environment.
>>
>>72245046
You may be missing the best interpretation that has ever been. You never know when the right genius conductor will meet the perfect orchestra for him, ending up with priceless performances.

Also unless you've got a top tier sound system you can't really beat a real orchestra: you know how much did he cared about the volume of his orchestration, and how much detail is imbued in his craft, You should respect him for that and listen to his music the way he intended for it to be heard: not in your shitty basement, but rather in a glorious, majestic theater.

It's stuck in a rut of abstract and postmodern style pieces with composers trying to be edgy and 'break the mould'. If we can find a way past it without just churning out ad nauseam neo-Romantic or Rach pastiches then we could be make contemporary classical decent, just don't know how we get there though.

But yeah, I agree it's not a dying genre. You just have to look harder to find the good and unexpected. A lot of Eastern European radio orchestras often tour the regional venues over here and it's surprisingly good compared the top-tier elite or popular ones. I've seen some amazing performances at venues I really wouldn't expect to see something of that quality like a programme by I think was the Warsaw National Radio Orchestra or something. Straightforward programme with some Dvorak dances, a Chopin concerto and Beethoven 7th. They absolutely went for it though and ended up playing at least four encores of traditional Polish folk dances with the whole hall on it's feet. Incredible performance and atmosphere compared to generic BBC or London orchestras. Completely sold out as well, if more contemporary performances were like that I think more new people would go.
>>
>>72245157
>terrible singers with typically too-slow conducting
You can avoid directors that never satisfied you, but you should still keep giving a chance to new artists emerging from teh conservatories. It's that easy to miss the performance of your life.

>falling for spooks like this anyways
We're talking about the aesthetic value of listening to classical music live in a thread for the appreciation for classical music: we were in the spooked territory from the beginning.
>>
>>72245046

Occasionally they get it right though. Lehnhoff's touring Parsifal production was actually really good for a modernist interpretation. Although that isn't really a contemporary production or one of these recent shit-tier liberal ones.

But that said yeah, the meme ones are generally better, even that 'traditional' Met one from a several years ago was fucking awful.
>>
>>72245220

Central Eastern Europe has been the shelter of conservative culture for a long time desu. Plus the women are hot as balls.

One avenue that might work is the Ravel model, his experiments with modal and pentatonic, jazz elements, etc created a very unique sound that was never really picked up by others before being smothered by the serialists. A lot of his music sounds way more modern than "post modern" music to me, but of course Bolero is what the faggots latched on to.

However I don't know how a new Ravel could possibly arise in the current environment, he didn't come out of nowhere either.

There's been a lot of great Wagner conducting on record for the past 20 years, but just about every recording I've heard, from broadcasts to studio, have had extremely variable singing. And most of it ranged from acceptable, to bad.

It really isn't so much about the conductor.

>>72245227
I mean, it's possible that a bunch of new and great singers emerge, but considering the track record of the last few decades, it isn't looking too great.

I think it's mostly about our current environment not being a great one for aspiring opera singers. Comparatively, anyway.
>>
>>72245421

I don't think it's any coincidence desu that nearly all my favourite orchestras the moment are Eastern or Central European ones. Recordings as well, Budapest Festival Orchestra have produced some god-tier Beethoven recordings. Where did they get it so right? Saw an annual free one in Prague last year and most of the crowd was generally younger as well, compared to the general mass of over 70s you get here.
>>
>>72245449

Read history. And read it with skepticism, for example when it says "intellectuals were purged", ask 'who were the ones who labeled them intellectuals?'

It's only by seeing the clear false dichotomies and fake narratives in history that you gain the perspective to call them out in your present time. And this isn't even ideological either, you can be left or right and still learn from this.

I have to stress that you must keep your skepticism at all times though. A pretty easy example: Everyone uses the example of Galileo as a way of saying "Science rules, religions and conservatives BTFO!", however if you dig into the actual arguments, Galileo was adamant that Kepler's elliptical orbital laws were bunk and that all orbits were perfectly circular, which went completely against observations and meant his fellow scientists couldn't argue for him at all against the Church. His failure came from insisting on bad science.

Eventually you'll learn the typical psychological pathways people take in different situations and can preempt them in getting there. Subtlety is always the first thing to die.

How exactly would you say you apply that mode of thought to analyzing current affairs?
>>
>>72245776

Suppose one way you can apply some of the above is to why people are using labels and what they gain from doing it. Pay attention to what people get labelled and ask why they're trying to shift their position by using certain labels. Look at modern day social justice types attacking second-wave feminists for example over their views on trans women. They lump them in with the right and conservatives to try and normalise their contemporary opinion about transgender people when in reality there's nothing remotely conservative about the people they're accusing of being 'conservatives'. Especially in the context that they were the previous generation's radical liberals. See loads of it on both sides of the spectrum these days as well as history generally being taken wildly out of context by (usually) liberals.

Interesting.

What are some examples of liberals taking history out of context? Pardon my ignorance on the topic, but I genuinely don't know. Why are they seemingly so dominant?

>>72246138

Generally most of their non-academic arguments on slavery (although it's different in the US example) or colonialism don't hold up to proper scrutiny. They're far too quick to judge slave owners, slave traders or others who generally promoted or were lead figures in imperialism or colonialism by later standards on the issue. There's far too many efforts at putting people on trial today for not meeting contemporary norms essentially past norms. It's like if a future school of history decides to vilify all car owners in a future context and blame them for climate change. They'd probably fail to fully grasp that those generations grew up with heavy marketing and cultural influences promoting car ownership as a fundamental of independent living etc. It happens all the time in history where you get issues that become controversial later on but fully accepted social norms in their own context.

Other things too like exaggerating the role of people in certain fields today who were exceptions to a rule because it fits their contemporary narrative. I think history in general will look back at the present era as one of the worst periods of revisionism and poor historical method. It's as bad and arguably has overshot even some of the big 60s trends in historiography for applying later schools of thought and social sciences to the past.

They're so dominant largely for a mix of good old fashioned nepotism and being a heavily politicised generation in the 1960s that has grown up to force it's beliefs into an overly impressionable younger generation. Their efforts to keep on fighting the old generation of postwar conservatives are still going on decades after they defeats them, yet they won't stop pushing the same message to the young which they get even more radical about which is pretty much how we're getting SJWs.

Are Schubert's String Quartet's a meme? It's not that I don't like them, but the lack of polyphony is so stark, even the better of them sound like they could just as easily be for string orchestra, the lack of crosstalk kinda makes the quartet setting irrelevant. Schubert's lieder background is very evident in this way.

By contrast, I really like Brahms' quartets, and I see a lot of classical fags say they have a hard time of appreciating them.

meh

Koussevitzky turned the BSO into a power-house, but i never liked most of his interpretations. there's a few notable exceptions like some of his Brahms

I let myself go with that one, but they're only 25 years apart in age so it's not that crazy of a comparison

Not to hit on your job, but why isn't there a self tuning or mechanical tuning device for pianos yet? Isn't it all a matter of hertz that a microphone can judge far better?

Sabre Dance
William Tell Overture
In The Hall of the Mountain King
ode to joy
flight of the bumblebee
Entry of the gladiators
Mars
ride of the valkryies
What else would he like?

don't fedoras listen to radiohead and soft metal?

Classical listeners tend to be pretty clean-cut normies, often christian.
>>
>>72253864
fedoras listen to jazz music stupid
>>
>>72253864
fedoras unironically listen to video game music or metal, often both
>>
Redpill me on classical and where to start with it. I have very cursory knowledge of Mozart and Bach and Beethoven. Any essential recordings/pieces for a newcomer?

I'm sick of listening to popular music.

thank you. Any more you could recommend? Perhaps some releases included in those mega folders you have?

>>72254827
I would start with one symphony, one piano solo, and one Bach and just follow from there what you like the most.
Beethoven is a good place to start with symphonies I think. 5, 6, and 9 are the most accessible/well known (but 3 is my favorite). 5 and 9 start off dark and dramatic and transform into heroic and grandiose while 6 walks you through scenes in a countryside. 3 starts off heroic and happy, then turns dark, then ends off light and fun. Choose which one interests you the most I guess.
Piano solo, I would rec Debussy but there isn't much accessible-for-beginners Debussy piano stuff in the mega links. Suite Bergamesque is accessible for sure though. Chopin's nocturnes are good if you like melancholic rainy day music.
For Bach, his Passion settings are widely regarded to be two of the greatest pillars of music but they're 2 and 3 hours so I wouldn't worry about that right now. But listen on Youtube the opening to St. John Passion to get a taste of it. Anyway, the Cello suites are pretty famous and if you can read sheet music then look up what a fugue is on Wiki then listen to the Art of Fugue while reading the score.
If you like aggressive music, then listen to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring (Le sacre du printemps)

Hello.
Can someone please tell me what are the most popular music books used to teach to complete beginners in conservatories and serious music institutions? I'm interested in what is used in English and German speaking countries.

>beginners in conservatories
pretty sure you need a good grasp of music to even get into a conservatory.

Get the complete idiots guide to music theory if you want something basic.
Depends what you want to learn - counterpoint, harmony, form, orchestration, composition, songwriting. Each one has a hundred books on the subject. There isn't really one "learn music" book.
