Why is the Dvorak Piano Concerto...
Published (2009-11-23 18:46:00)
palJacky & Joey -- I often feel the same way about Hyperion's romantic piano concerto edition. But there are two hugely enjoyable exceptions: Moszkowski's Concerto in E by Piers Lane; and Sergei Bortkiewicz's first concerto in B-flat minor by Stephen Coombs. Moszkowski's is just flat-out good corn and Kitsch, although I know that's a contradictin in terms, and the best four-movement concerto since Brahms Two...

I actually saw Sun Ra live in '82 or '83 in berkeley. He was on the same bill as L.A. punk performance artist Johanna went. The crowd was very mixed sionce neither of these artists played the bay area that often. Ms. Went was upset that the management wouldn't let her release the live cockroaches that were part of her act that night. PS by the time Sun Ra got on, I was very drunk. I went to see Johanna went.

LaSalle Quartet - 2nd Viennese Box - Berg, Webern, Schoenberg Mahler - Symphony #3 - Abbado / Berlin Mahler - Symphony #7 - Abbado / Berlin I've chosen Abbado to fill my gaps at #3,6,&7. I was knocked out by #6 on first listen. #7 (borrowed from my library) required two listens to be sure, as the sound on #6 is in better focus. Abbado's balance, nuance, and execution fit my specs for Mahler just right. Taking my chances on #3...

Harold Schoenberg, in his book "The Great Composers" acknowledged some of the pianistic difficulties but he hardly maligned the piece. It would be interesting to know how many have heard the piece and do not like as distinct from those who have not heard the piece.

On the radio: Bruckner-Symphony No. 1, Bavarian State Orchestra/Wolfgang Sawallisch (Orfeo). Sounds like the much later revised edition. Prefer Bruckner's first inspiration which he termed (in translated meaning), 'The Cheeky Chick'.

What a drag ("Harry") "Classical Music is inherently elitist, music for the elite, music for the limited number of those that have the developed intelligence required to understand it and the refined sensibility required to connect with it." Hogwash! Music is only fully understood by those with good ears, and this can occur anywhere, anytime, in anyone. There is no "elite" audience. Wagner...

Who's your favorite composer?
Published (2009-11-23 20:46:00)
Judging from what I listen to in moments of stress and/or in desperate need of 'nourishment', I'd have to say Beethoven, followed by Bach and Monteverdi. I love that little trio nocturne of Schubert's, with which he bids us adieu. That is to say, my ultimate choice in music is the intimate, introspective violin sonatas by Bach, or the equilibrium of Monteverdi's 7th Book of Madrigals. Beethoven's last piano...

Currently on the home stretch of the second and final volume of Robert Musil's "The Man Without Qualities". A gargantuan book, so intelligent that I only understand the chapter titles. I asked before deep in another thread, but can't remember if you answered: have you read it, Piso? You like Thomas Mann, so this might be right up your alley. Reminds me of "Magic Mountain". Next up will ...

For a sec I thought the lovely Henry James was back. The films of Luchino Visconti compare well with the piano-playing of Vladimir Horowitz but the films of Quentin Tarentino only compare with the singing of Britney Smears. The paintings of Paul Klee compare with the music of Pierre Boulez but the art sold at wal-mart compares with the tv shows of Rosanne Barr and with Married with ...

The collection is a library that I draw on as the whim takes me, or I read something here or elsewhere, and just for pleasure. Composers with the most works loom large, but also others with few works, like Bruckner.

Yes, I have felt many times like you. But one has to be aware that there are still important composers working today who follow very classical threads, such as develloping their materials in interesting ways, not just looking for new sounds (which ain't wrong per se, but perhaps irritating when done by most composers, superficially most of the time). For example Ferneyhough. Let's take a ...

interestingly enough, I just heard a stand alone 'blumine' last night on P. Jarvi's mahler 4 movement discs. I really don't think too much of the movement in general. I think mahler was correct in cutting it. My only recording of n#1 with it included is rattle's and he places it first before the symphony. I kind of like it there because it stands as a ' curtain raiser' rather than part...

An interesting and even troubling question, Yi-Peng. The age of the great out-sized personalities seems to have passed with the ideal of humanistic education. We may not see its like for a while. Szigeti talks about this in relation to Busoni. I won't worsen matters by naming names, some of which you have already! Objective ideas of interpretation discouraged individualistic and ...

Yet another John Cage thread, and yet another Shostakovich thread. Yawn yawn yawn. How about some creative threading for a change - threads on composers that have not yet been discussed around here, like Berio, or Roussel, or Onslow, or Philippe de Vitry? Cage obviously no more than Brahms shakes some people away from the mirror of their vanity !!! Nor is it the purpose of the schools to ...

It's really quite hard to tell with Mozart. A lot of what he wrote is really not worth listening to it seems like. He excelled later on mainly, and his piano concertos and a few symphonies really hit the mark. The 40th symphony is just...outrageous really. It really seems to be right up there with Schubert's 9th. But then he has tons, and tons, and tons of throwaway work that appears to ...

Alan, Great list (or is that Liszt?). Just one comment now, as I'm short of time. I LOVE the " Siegfried" Idyll. I think of it as neither cheap, tawdry OR vulgar (although you might say the composer was). It is a sublime masterpiece. I also love it because I share the same birthdate as Cosima Wagner nee von Bulow nee Liszt - December 25th, although I think she's closer in age to the ...

With ABQ I think that they are good in everything they did on Teldec -- not so interesting in later recordings. Their Brahms is IMO unsurpassed, and their Mozart is only maybe bettered by the Petersen Quartet. Even their Dvorak is outstanding. I say even because normally I don't much like Dvorak's music. My three favourite living ensembles -- Jerusalem, Leipzig and Petersen. Eben's Haydn ...
