Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber - Harmonia artificiosa-ariosa
Played by Musica Antiqua Koeln
https://mega.co.nz/#!HdQ11Y5C!MXuFWhNAfC2GOTBqMQIh63YMTMxPEXTghiZHlz0lITw
>Biber was in a sense the Paganini of his time, the fiddler whose virtuosity seemed almost like a Faustian bargain, and the bulk of his music was written for violinists of diabolical skill. Expect fireworks, eccentricity, and artifice in any consort music by Biber. This performance of Harmonia artificiosa is a prime example, and this sort of music is exactly fitted to the skills and temperament of Reinhard Goebel, who has now recovered most of his astonishing virtuosity after a hideous bowing-arm problem that almost finished his playing career.

>The magnificent instrument used here is celestial in tone. To those for whom Bach fugues conjure up images of Christopher Lee playing Dracula, or dull Sundays in church, here is one of the great achievements of Western civilization, a glittering pinnacle of Baroque art, performed by a great modern spirit, in one handy box. You can't have Michaelangelo ceilings in your home, or Bernini bronzes in your living room, but by golly, you can put this on your stereo.

Anyone has a classical library on vinyl? I'm thinking of venturing there, but it really bothers me the way the labels release the music.

>>37640030
Are you referring to the bland record sleeves with advertisements on them?
I have the same issue with classic jazz records.

>>37640030
I honestly wouldn't recommend it unlike you want your pianissimo parts drowned in surface noise (often paired with distorted ff). There's a reason why classical listeners were the first to abandon vinyl, and it's not (primarily) the longer playing time.

>The performances are uniformly excellent. Pinnock's Bach is brisk and sprightly when it should be, but also tender and relaxed when it must be. He is not afraid to slow down and savour the music, unlike many period-performance specialists. He is one of the world's great harpsichordists and his partners in the multiple concerti are also excellent. Simon Standage yields nothing to better-known soloists in the violin concerti.

After that get any name you've ever heard of. Pretty much everything in this thread has been great so just download as much as you can and make your way through it. There isn't really any such thing as an essentials list for classical, you just need to discover which period and composers you like.

Classical newfag here. I've listened to quite a bit of classical music; the odd track here and there. Currently I really enjoy Listzt and Schoenberg. However, I have no knowledge whatsoever about classical music. I just listen to it and what I enjoy I listen again. What works would you recommend as being key works so that I can get started actually understanding classical music?

I would like to enjoy his Art of the Fugue, but I don't like the sound of the reed stops too much, which I think he used a bit too often. At least he employed the organum plenum for the unfinished fugue, which was definitely one of the best renditions I've ever heard.

Paranoia /ˌpærəˈnɔJə/ (adjective: paranoid /ˈpærənɔJd/) is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. (e.g. "Everyone is out to get me.")
Making false accusations and the general distrust of others also frequently accompany paranoia. For example, an incident most people would view as an accident or coincidence, a paranoid person might believe was intentional.

https://mega.co.nz/#!KERShSSS!FkiDXyrUVLI71YCYLCox7jtW-SR1mKozUb4mHSJd1A0
This is the essential IGA album. Their performance of Vivaldi's variations on La Follia is so powerful and bombastic that I almost forgive them for referring to it as a concerto. I highly recommend this album to any classical newcomer.

>>37642486
Would you care to suggest a alternate recording for BWV 988 then? Landowska? Tureck? Pinnock? Personally I think the 1981 Gould recording was better and much less rushed than the more famous 1955 one.

Well there are tons of introductions to classical on the internet that choose from any pieces they can think of, CLT's guide included.

Using sharethreads however you're not using a guide that chooses any pieces people can think of, you're using ones people specifically have a link to.

>>37642535
With the exception of Richter's WTC, my preference for piano Bach is Koroliov.

Very nice. I love Vivaldi's concerto music, gets so overlooked because either people don't explore it or they think it all sounds the same (thanks Stravinsky)

>>37642712

Oh? Then I have his Goldberg as part of the Hänssler Classic Complete Bach set. I've heard it once but it seems pretty underwhelming to me on my first listening, especially stuff like repeating the canonic voices an octave higher in variation 18 annoyed me a little. Maybe I'll give it another chance and see if I can change my mind about it.

>>37642731
But his concertos are what he is best known for, even today.

>>37642693
It cuts out the middleman in the process, by giving you high quality sound files without dicking around tracking the albums down. Admittedly, it's lazy, but the direct dl links and the nature of having someone to ask is something I prefer to a guide written by some About.com pleb.

Their recordings of Biber's Battalia and Sonata Representativa are top-notch, but what really makes the album is his 7th partita. Il Giardino even outdoes Goebel in this. Zelenka is barely represented, and Locke's The Tempest is rather uninteresting program music. Still, I recommend downloading this album solely for the partita.

Thanks! I happen to share your sentiment, that augmentation inversion canon really is some mind bending stuff. One question: does this recording include the Anhang as well? (early version of the Augmentation Inversion Canon and a mirror fugue arranged for two keyboards)

>>37644860
Goebel includes the arrangement of the Contrapunctus XIII but not the early augmentation/inversion canon. The only recording I recall with that is by the Emerson String Quartet.

Is this actually worth reading if you already have quite a lot of general knowledge of classical music?

I've been looking for a good non-fiction book to read lately.

Here you go, Suzuki's recording of BWV 146 only.

>>37645020
Thank you.

>>37644954
It is not a history book. It contains small biographies of composers, their most influential works, and recommended recordings. It is useful as a reference to composer's you know little about, and might want to know a little bit more.

get with the times gramps. Classical is best enjoyed with SACD with a minimum of 5.1 surround sound

In this album, Grimaud plays "The Great" prelude & fugue for organ in A minor (BWV543) as arranged for the piano by Liszt. It's what got me on the hunt for Liszt transcriptions. Here's the fugue part, though played by someone else.

Super Audio CD (SACD) is a read-only optical disc for audio storage, introduced in 1999. It was developed jointly by Sony and Philips Electronics, and intended to be the successor to their Compact Disc format. While the SACD format can offer more channels (e.g. surround sound), and a longer playing time than CD, research published in 2007 found no significant difference in audio quality between SACD and standard CD.[1]

Having made little impact in the consumer audio market, by 2007 SACD was deemed to be a failure by the press.[2] In the 2010s, a small market for SACD remains, serving the audiophile community.[3]

but I dropped out :**v))

>>37645392
Thanks. Your quote bolstered the case for listening to SACD for classical (don't know about other genres)

Currently replacing my Chopin - The Complete Works performed by Garrick Ohlssen with the Deutsch Grammaphone Chopin Complete Works.

Thoughts?

At least you graduated high school unlike hampus.

>>37645531
>Your quote bolstered the case for listening to SACD for classical
But the only advantage is surround sound and as far as I'm aware most classical is stereo-only.

>>37645531
If you have a high quality surround setup, which will easily cost three times as much as similar quality stereo speakers, not to mention the problem or proper speaker placement (don't even bother if your listening room isn't big enough). And then of course you'll need to find good surround mixes of your favorite works and performances.

And that's not ven touching the question whether being surrounded by the musicians is actually a proper representation of classical music, which is normally listened to in a concert situation where "surround" would be limited to the concert hall's reverb.

don't get it

Anyone have Penderecki?

Can't find a decent download anywhere.

>>37646066
there's a whole bunch in FLAC on wcd

>>37646066
There's quite a lot of decent downloads for him on rutracker

Just upload them and post them, don't waste time with charts no one is going to use.

Fffuck. I guess I'm signing up for Rutracker then.

But rutracker links are reliable and easy to get access to, whereas any http link could easily go down, not to mention would take far more time to set-up.

Just picked up 2 Penderecki recordings from there.

Are all classical recordings this messy? I mean, it just adds a whole new level of confusion when the album artist and the album composer are 2 separate people.

Or when there's more than one album composer.

Does anyone happen to have this album? I've been searching for it for quite a bit now, and no torrents work.

>>37646430
Yes. In general thhe composer is long dead so he isn't going to be the album artist.

Sort it however you wish in your music player - I personally get rid of all information except for composer (which I put in 'artist') and the piece name.

>>37646430
>Or when there's more than one album composer
You're using torrents, only download the specific files you want, not the extra composers tacked onto the disc.

>I mean, it just adds a whole new level of confusion when the album artist and the album composer
You've never encountered cover-albums before? It's basically the same idea. E.g. many jazz albums will contain jazz standards which were not composed by the performers.

I just put the composer in the "artist" field and the performer in "album artist" for classical usually, since the composer is much more important.

>>37646489
I also just ended up with a fucking record that was supposed to be in 15 parts all in one.

What. The. Fuck.

>>37646430
Do what the other guy says. I put composer in Artist and Album Artist and then conductor and orchestra in the Conductor tag I have. I usually split albums by composer, there's not usually any sense in keeping them together, often there is no relation except what someone though might go well or fits on to the rest of the CD.

Medieval Cue Splitter

Load the .cue and split.

You can do this in most media players though as well.

I listen to a lot of music by the artist Hauschka
i really like the sound of piano pieces.

I don't have any other classical style music on my computer except from Steve Reich

anyone fancy recommending/pointing out a few piano albums to get that sound well recorded and not boring quiet 15 minute long pieces.

I suppose Bach and Brahms and Mozart etc is what I'm looking for played by contemporary people.

I was going to shitpost and tell you to listen to this 'some guy', but I've forgotten his name and now it's really troubling me.

He's young, has black hair, from some eastern european country, is actually pretty good at piano but makes this shit electronic versions of classical pieces. I think his name starts with an 'M'.

Please help
