Classical

Any fans of classical here? Maybe not the most cyberpunk genre out there, but whatever. https://invidious.namazso.eu/watch?v=e6xbwAGrEQg https://invidious.namazso.eu/watch?v=3KhKK8HF5Lg https://invidious.namazso.eu/watch?v=LFBIJgkj_-g

I really like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBsKplb2E6Q

>>8726 Yes. I particularly enjoy waltzes, but i also listen to a radio station that plays classical music, gives me insights into newer stuff. Classical music is pretty cyberpunk, in a special way. It is CyberPUNK after all, and most music is very electronic nowadays, voices are corrected, instruments are prerecorded and those samples used as needed. Music is now made completely individually, and lots of people try to get into making music, and therefore the market is flooded with music. And it's not only that, other art too, everyone is an artist now. Classical music is an extreme opposite of that. a composer, who writes a piece, that takes a lot of effort and a lot of people to play, and which is then collectively performed by 40, 50, 100 people, who all are coordinated and synchronized by the effort of one person, it's something awe-inspiring, completely different from the mass produced "art" nowadays. Art has went from something monumental, something to be respected, towards another commodity. Therefore, revolting against the commercialization of music, the mass production of it and other art forms, is very punk. And the fact that we live in a world, were tech has evolved so much, that we can share the music of our ancestors over hundreds of kilometres, in crisp quality and in different formats, makes enjoying, sharing and supporting classical music extremely Cyberpunk in my Opinion. Cheers, Lain. BTW, on the Hills of Manchuria, one of my favourites.

I usually listen to some (nu)metal/grange or post-rock, but, in fact, because it overlaps the city noise spectra... My soul truly resonates with viola and violin. Piano and violin is a perfect duo. Mendelssohn – Sonata in C minor (1824) – II. Menuetto. Allegro molto https://youtu.be/gQFiOTRqNr0?t=494

Classical music is stuck for some reasons. The 1st and the 7th symphonies by Prokofiev have it all. Other pieces don't contain anything fundamentally new and interesting. 1st https://youtu.be/WLT55kPIFCo "Classical", the man was arrogant 7th https://youtu.be/AB6F7zqEP88

I am angry this is the third draft trying to get past the c*ns*rs. I wrote crudely, I wrote verbosely and politely. Now I'll just try and write succinctly. Cl*ssical m*sic is supp0s'd to be stuck. Its possible that's part of the appeal. If it gets unst*ck is it still cl*ssical ? Sure, there is some room for neo-cl*ssical stuff. I'm personally not a fan but I can't really fault it for existing. But there's a d*finition, a sort of spac6 in which cl*ssical m*sic exists and going too far out of it, getting 'unst*ck' as it were, is going to make it no longer cl*ssical. Should we expect L*vy to finish his H*st0ries? No ! And nor should we expect new and inn0vative cl*ssical m*sic.

>>9270 Lol. classical music was rocketing until mid XX century. Ever since Bach, the next composer was improving the classical forms, for like almost three century. Then it peaked in the soviet composers works. and ... it seems just over. It's terrifying somehow.

Maybe, it reached the limits of humans ability to comprehend the polyphony? Imho, Camille Saint-Saëns stuff, even the piano arrangement, is already SO MUCH MUSIC that I cant even blink without losing a thread of it. In the next fifty or so years, people found the perfect proportions, and that was it.

>>9271 >classical music was rocketing until mid XX century Classical period ended in the early 19th century. Also, nobody cared about Bach. Bach revival happened like a 100 years after his death and way into the romantic period. Classical composers literally did not read Bach.

>>9270 I would almost consider Black Violin to be contemporary/neo-classical, or at least remixed classical music (perhaps you are right and it unclassicles the music though simply by being from a different era).

I love the organ. Here is D. Buxtehude - BuxWV 140 - Praeludium d-moll / D minor https://invidious.namazso.eu/watch?v=hR5a9UkfqLg There are quite a lot of organ works one can enjoy https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6019043

>why isn't art still improving? Do you know how to spell "decadence"?

>>9282 Nobody was talking about "classical period". Don't care about anyone of them, except maybe J Haydn. >>9287 tagging anything doesn't explain it.

>>8726 I've been a fan of classical music for a while now, but recently I started going to see shows by my local symphony. I know that objectively the orchestras in my recordings are more skilled, but there's just something that isn't captured by a recording. A lot of it is probably the extra visual stimulus, and the conductor does add a lot to my understanding of a piece, but there's more to it than that. After all, I could just watch a video recording. There's just something special about seeing people who live in my own town joining together to create something beautiful, I guess.

classical music is dead because it's a high form, that requires a skillful listener in addition to a skillful performer. the form used to be an aristocratic pursuit, that is to say that the skill of both came from the gestalt: it's not enough to just listen, it's not enough to just listen for decades, you also have to be a complete human being at the same time. you have to ride, and fight, and pursue a non-beurocratic political career, and have a family, and all the while keep listening to the same couple of hundred performances, finding new depth in familiar tunes. and it's played by particular individuals each time, who are almost always your peers, and put their own essence into the performance. it's not just about playing a composition, it's also about the personal interpretation that exists in the pauses, and then variations of forte and piano, the subtle changes in tempo. you can know everything there is to know about the person from the way he plays a particular composition. modern people listen to classical music like they listen to midi recordings, from some established maestro, it's a bugmen pursuit, some soulless creatures in capitol hill going to swathmore to "appreciate". that's why asians are over represented classical pianists, like yeol eum son in the op's picture, they are technically excellent, but otherwise perfect reproduction devices. what do i care about son's inner world, or her personal growth? what can i learn from her performance? you appreciate classical music by playing it to yourself, or getting your friend to play it, and hear your friend's joy or sorrow through their interpretation. it's a complete experience, for everything else there's taylor swift or whatever.

>>9553 What the fuarrrk are you talking about?

>>9559 don't worry about it :)

>>9553 Listen to Richter.

Some that I really like = ) https://youtu.be/ikBg4BDgsso https://youtu.be/BVtIl3dqDbM https://youtu.be/cLgJQ8Zj3AA

Classical is such a wide umbrella. >>9197 I disagree in part, I think there's always been a punk wing of classical music. Stravinsky's Rite of Spring for example. It's first performance was mostly upstaged by the fact that half the audience loved it, the other half hated it and the two camps very loudly fought. You can coordinate an orchestra into making something extremely edgy and unorthodox. Classical pieces also required funds from sponsors to make happen and that did mean that there was a safe and commercial side to classical music as well. https://youtu.be/EkwqPJZe8ms >>9271 I also disagree with this. People do rediscover classical composition every so often and make small pushes forward, they just tend to do it on synthesizers nowadays. https://youtu.be/MEhEplAckP8 https://youtu.be/O74HJkYIWfw

We're discussing classical but nobody is talking about version? fuarrrking casuals. My take: BIS (try their incredible Alpensinfonie) > Onyx, Linn, Hyperion, Harmonia Mundi, Ondine, CPO, ECM, Philips > Sony, Decca, Naxos, Philips > DG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YbPQfBYl0A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSN1eG_LbpU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6TMGvTPKTE >>9638 >punk wing of classical music That's not Stravinsky, as Stravinsky was actually innovative and talented. Try serialism for punk (aka "we want to be different, so we'll all do the same reactionary garbage!") and leave Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky alone. Also, Stravinsky was a hardcore fascism enthusiast.

When I want to pull my pud I just go to youtube and type in "shostakovich 5 4"
