20th Century Opera: Please advise.
Published (2009-11-14 18:37:00)
I wonder, Do those modern-day remakes of Rameau comic operas count as "20th century?" They are a trip. http://www.youtube.com/user/foomsbah#p/f/ 34/coENn4UzHsY

Thanks for the thread J Rich. Sibelius could be my favorite symphonic composer. Symphony #2 Symphony #5 Symphony #6 Violin Concerto Tapiola Sibelius makes me feel like I'm somewhere else, somewhere wild mountainous and mysterious. Each symphony has its own destination. I have finally come to love every one of them, yet the 4th remains the most elusive for me. I consider that a good thing, grounds for more listening. Unlike most people, I...

What books are you reading right...
Published (2009-11-14 17:13:00)
At the annual book sale of the Friends of Wheaton Library, I came away with an Alexander Woolcott Reader that looks promising, and an Alfred Knopf book I'd never seen before, "A Man and his Dog", published in 1930, by ... guess? ... Thomas Mann. I collect Mann's books in English translation, and this is one of the few I didn't have. Untypical, affectionate, charming, closely observed, and funny.

My favorite Sibelius? There is not much I know outside of the symphonies and Violin Concerto I must confess. I have heard his famous string quartet or have it on CD. I recently bought some Naxos Sibelius piano pieces recently. Having said that and limited it to five pieces: 1. Violin Concerto op.47 - Possibly his most popular composition in "Sonata Form." If it weren't for Finlandia I almost think that the final...

As far as the 'golden ratio' is concerned. Lots of books yap on and on about how this mystical number appears everywhere in nature and it is somehow divinely inspired. I don't buy it. Yes, it appears everywhere in nature. However, when one studies enough physics one realizes the equations of nature are very simple. x+1= x^2 is one of the simpliest quadratics one can come up with. Phi is positive root of that equation. Hence no...

K. Bowersock Thank you for the Rubenstein and Beethoven. Rubenstein IMO was a great player of Beethoven even though he was not a specialist. His 4th with Beecham from the late 1940s is tremendous. Regards-John

Haydn: Symphony No. 88 in G (Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century/Frans Brugen) - inspired to listen to this by my own post on the "joyful and life-affirming" thread, difficult as it is to choose among 104+ symphonies, I think this is my favorite.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I have those three and a couple of others. Honestly, If I was forced to get a single cycle and leave the others behind, I'd choose Roberts on Nimbus. He seem to be far more satisfied to let the music speak for itself than many others do. This quality is also true in his bach's WTC set. I guess what I'm trying to say is one feels like they are listening to Beethoven first with Roberts.

Hey Zadok Do you remember Siouxsie and the Banshees CD called "Superstition" from 1991? I bought a tape of it when I was vacationing in Miami at a Specs record store. I liked it so much that I got the CD back here in Southwest Florida eventually. Everyone that I met told that their other stuff was better and this was definitely their worse CD. Now almost 20 years later the CD has ...

Here are the ones that first come to my mind ( GREAT symphonies in which the optimistic elements IMO especially strongly prevail over the pessimistic ones): Mozart -- No. 35 (Haffner) Mendelssohn -- No. 4 (Italian) Schumann -- No. 3 (Rhenish) Mahler -- No. 4 Prokofiev -- No. 1 (Classical)

Wellington's Victory! Sorry, that's an eternal joke around here. Seriously, at the moment, for me the single greatest piece of music is The Art of Fugue.

Well, Oedipus Rex is not an opera. Otherwise, I'd say "Rosenkavelier," "Wozzek," and "Peter Grimes." I'd also say that the operas of Janacek, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich are not to be missed. You could even start with Janacek's "Osud," which is only one CD, but if you do, I'd advise staying clear of the Mackerras thing that's in English. It's not very good, I think. The other two, very ...
