Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.
Great pianist may appear as virtuoso but they never die as virtuoso but as great artist... We must not feel the virtuosity...Only the music expression... i am stunned... Samson Francois playing Scriabin sonata no 3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GJ-p9GWUBg&list=RD0GJ-p9GWUBg&start_radio=1

That's what this forum is about. People who love music posting about what they like and how they like music. No thanks necessary. I have a record of |
I am posting an album I pull out and play very often. You'll probably all be scratching your heads, like what? Why does he like that? Partly for her poetics. Also I heard it when it first came out on the radio and it's been with me for many years. Nostalgia? Don't know. Just like it a lot. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTIb4fKCEAevye8E5UTN8boXbA4RWHcOm |
I had a kind of illumination about Beethoven quartets... I never understood why they fascinated me till the day i "see" them as fractals of sound.....
As Bach created the "art of the fugue" as kind of complex geometry more resembling Riemann complex geometry, Beethoven create in some of his quartet a kind of illuminating fractals of sound...
I love very much Talich clean crystalline interpretation since the beginning of my love affair... ( more easier with them to see fractals in the sound ofthese quartet) But i must listen many other versions this year... Beethoven genius reach his peak in the quartets as Bach reach his peak in the "art of the fugue" ... I am very happy to "see" this music meaning as form in time... Anyway this "pure music" takes the human heart way over mundane feeling into pure spirit realm as Scriabin did, as Bruckner did, each in his own way with new means of expression... |
On par with his Quartet, i think the 7th symphony of Beethoven is one of the most perfect symphony ever written...Only Bruckner may rival Beethoven. Here a comparison between different interpretation using the allegretto, one of the most powerful piece of music ever written. Why? Because for me it describe the power of life as an irreversible force growing in us and pushing even rocks and any obstacles... Death has no power against life but is only his servant .. This allegretto is a seed growing which nothing can stop... |
