I have just have been lucky enough to hear the live steam of the Berlin Symphony
on the every year 31st.
1. Bruch Vn 1 , Beautiful , one could ask for no more ,Jenine Jansan.
I could say the Berliners could turn on a dime , but I would have to cut the dime in half first,.
2, The ""Firebird Suite"" , I felt a bit strange ,what's going on here.
Got to the point where I got up and paced around the room.
A lighting bolt struck me , without a sole , the Berliner's, to my brain ,have no musicians , The music itself sang for itself more than the Greatest Diva ever could .
At that time in that music Berlin had THE Greatest Orchestra in the World .!
3. Revel ,La Waltz , Same as Firebird with less power as you would expect.
Perhaps , I just figured out how to listen after x decades .
|
Honest . They were seamless !
And their conducer was not there as ,of yesterday the virus struck him
|
Thanks rv!
I’m not a piano expert , I just play what I like with somebody I want to hear .
This Haydn piece is all of that !
|
The mahgister strikes again .
Happy New Year !
Don’t tell , but Vietnam Regular Army didn’t mind to take on US Army, Marines or Navy .
If they heard the South Koreans were around they had something else to do.
I see Legault is shutting the door again . IMO smart .
|
mahgister. found you the same Korean lady ! This time you get a beautiful Schubert
, really he is that forever . Unusual , that though Asians play him well , few get the real Germanic touch as well as her .
|
|
|
Holliger is a fantastic musician !
Doing a lot of conducting these days . Some think Haydn did not write this .
NOBODY questions who played the oboe .
|
You caught me , I really don't like Idagio or the rest of them , no great reason ,
just don't like them . What you said is all I need.
Cheers
|
Thanks are for you, mahgidter .
|
Barenboim and the Munich were made for this .
|
I love Opera and go as much as I can in Chicago .
One thing I know,, I will never hear anything as Great as they this side of heaven !
The two were made to sing together by God .
|
You are the man 204 , whatever you say goes with me.!
Thanks ,edcyn, us mortals would sure think they would be worn out but they would need about 2 minutes.
|
They told her she was not a Mozart singer ,I imagine Wolfgang Amadeus minded not, !
My 72 LP’s of her is not enough .
|
Any thoughts on this Qt on Schubert ?
Jim 204 said they were great on Haydn and I agree .
|
IMO Corelli is at the head of the Great , who cares, in North American at least.
He had influence on two Germans , Bach and Handel, esp. the later..
When I need both rest and energy I often go to Corelli .
The orchestra is the Slovak Chamber Orchestra out of Prague in 70's and 80's .
More proof of my cry that the Czechs are the most Classical Music people in the world .
|
Well, you do have great taste , mahgister !
I need to go back from most present composers because there is a lot of dissonant
and very little consonant .
Only Janacek got over that mountain ,at least to my taste . Of course he was Czech, build into his native tongue .
Basis is Basic .
You can NOT be too passionate when it comes to the greatest feat of the Western World !!
All else in Art is a picture of something else , Classical Music is the thing itself .
|
|
Here is a pianist who is doing the best of Schubert ,
which is to say the best . Never heard her but she is up to it and in to it!
|
Hmm, she seems to do""lesser Composers ""as well .
As she is with a band I love guess it’s OK .
|
Hillary Hahn is the best the USA has .
This small German group does it best in Germany’s most blue- collar city playing
God’s best .
|
|
Thanks, Jim .
As far as my non-musician ears will take me , the Toccatas with Pinnock are Perfect !
|
Kracher, that is what I also thought !
|
I would never doubt Christa Ludwig !
|
Yes, I did.
One night Microsoft just took his ten and put in 11 without him knowing, which cleaned off every single thing that was on his large computer !
The way Audiogon works it is impossible to use the same Handel twice .
You MUST use a new Handel . I chose Jim5559 as I think Jim204 is a /the star on
here , just thought if anyone asked I would say this .
P.S . I started before rock butted in .
Besides , I just used Schubert because on the day I started with same it was nobody but rockers on here , Didn’t like and made a fool of myself as if
I was great , still hate rock , a huge blow to American society .
Took music that was based on romance to one based on lust for starters
|
That’s a good one rv☺😊
This is a jewel very rare here .
Read his bio, Kodaly did much for Classical with children.
|
As you know rv, they both drank from the well of Hungarian folk music .
To be honest I don't really know myself , often takes me a half -hour for one.
Often I can't do the one I want .
|
Jim, point , Brits march much better than we do .
What you have left is world class .
On the Anglican Drill Field a post says "WAR IS WON ON THE DRILL FIELD "
Point . Discipline !
|
Jim , in US lately we hear a bunch of trash , which is passed off as the future of Classical .
Discipline is needed in everything , just heard some MIT Scientists say the pollution of the seas is beyond fixing .
My heart aches for the little ones .
|
Well Jim , 3 days ago I’m pretty sure I got ominun? , the newer virus , all the first
night was coughs and head aches , but my breath was normal and that would make me a fool to go to a hospital , home of death . Better 2nd day and this day,
still coughs but less ,
Glad i had 2 jabs and a booster,not bad for in your 80"s,
Besides , being brave like 70 % Scottish and rest German , I would beat the hell of
the non-jab crowd down there crying for the doc to wave his magic wand .
In a way it has/ is been good , on the edge of death I had no fear .
|
Thank you and do the same ,jim.
rv , it was much easier before 11
It is becoming a hell where all must lick the big shoes of the mighty.
Tried over 9o minutes for naught ,
|
I like this French version of the Mozart .
|
I always thought that a requiem was a mass ?
For reasons not known to me, the worst things get , the calmer I get .
Two times in Army I was thought dead in hospital , Not really , I was whatever
you call almost dead but you come back.
Both times I was not in fear because wherever I was, there was no fear .
I love Mozart of course , but the other genius , Schubert,, brought the feelings
to me that Mozart bought to you guys , Mozart is the greatest writer of music .
But Schubert is the greatest writer of humanly music .
A musician sees Mozart, the Lady in Church sings Ava Maria ,
Schubert makes you think of all things human.
|
My version for what you say, and rightly so, is simple , Prayer .
God is not looking for a spiritual opera.
P.S .
Madama Butterfly is a spiritual opera , very much so.
|
It’s more your Glory.
I find among very intelligent people I know they use spiritual all the time.
Most are people who can not understand why if there is a God why he allows
the horrows of our world .I have to turn my head when I see a 3 yr child weighs
ten pounds and a 13 year old girl is less than four 4 ,ft tall on a "Save the Child",,which is my chief fund ,, ad on TV .
Or why is my son or my mother or my wife have, cancer .
And a thousand other things. I don’t have the answer.
All I can think of , is mankind has proved there is infinity and if there is a God
all the Sorrows of this earth are less than the blink of his eye .
And there is always Pascal.
|
It's midnight and I'm tried but i think I read Bach had fantastic math power in his head hence counter-point etc
also Think that Brahms read Pascal - he did have an IQ off the chart
Oh some drunk or drugy might forget but if you read Pascal your' likely smart
enough to remember
Viva La Quebec !
|
Last week we did not praise to the sky the birthday of Mozart, a despicable act.
I most give one of Schubert’s greatest pieces a rendition on his 225th this Monday.
Praise be to him from Brahms "He is the greatest of us all " !
They sleep next to next for infinity in the Wein City Ground .
|
If they still had the Top Ten composers of yore , Brahms would be in my top 5 .
|
This Scottish lament was played for the Duke of Edinburg as he was laid to rest .
Came to me, this is also played as every Canadian Soldier , Sailor and Airman
, no matter where they have Fallen., The lament is played by a lone piper as six men bring the dead to the tarmac from the belly of an RCAF plane .
.
I was a bit sad for the Duke but very few had a life like he.
Those young Canadians had so very little.
That’s to cry for .
|
Thank,Jim.
The German " I had a Kameraden " is sung by soldiers in many Armies .
USA being one. Canada will stay with Scotia Forever .
I’d like to hear the Burn’s "Soldier Returm""’ sung . No luck
|
|
ASK and Be Heard !
I’ve never heard Ian Bruce, sounds VERY much the man for the job!
|
I used to but few on here were interested .
That Chamber Czech Orchestra is indeed a winner !
mahgister , Music in a land with no soul will want Music with no soul.by at least
90 % of the people .
In North America Mexico is the exception .
|
Thanks,204 .
I'll see if I can buy one .
The D Chaconne is one of the Masters best !
|
Grieg's lovely Flute piece , VERY seldom heard !
|
You got to love It, a great French composer, a German Band and a Japanese violinist !
|
The Greatness of Grieg , to Me at least , is his music can speak to any and all
facets of being a human being whether they know it or not .
A True Aficonado of Music knows what and that it did not come easy or soon.
I plan to listen to this Sonata at least 3 times more today , its a school .
P.S , Julia got a pianist of her class , WOW !

THE MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA IN CUBA !

Few months ago Gramophone declared the Minnesota the Orchestra of the Year.
