that pre-Wagnerian opera is dogshit edition.
I bought an "Excepts from The Ring" cassette from a pawn shop for $1 a few days ago.When it got to "Ride of the Valkyries" I just ejected and threw the tape out the window.
>>54928950I almost think they should omit it from those compilations because it's so redundant.
on another note Ariadne auf Naxos is the first Strauss opera I've watched and now I feel really bad because it's like the worst starting place but so enjoyable

According to RYM, this is the greatest classical work ever madehttp://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/berliner_philharmoniker_herbert_von_karajan/9_symphonien/just sayin
>>54929258If it's recitativo/aria it's shit.>>54929298Technically speaking it's probably the most famous recording of all time so I guess it makes sense in that context.

The only problem with this production is that the composer is played by a woman (supposed to be a guy).Made the lesbian "makeout" scene a bit off.
What are your thoughts on musical music?
>>54930575I prefer unmusical music.
Sorry for shitting up your thread, but I've really wanted to get into classical for a while now, but I'm a bit unsure of where to start. I've downloaded Beethoven's 3rd and 5th, and been enjoying them a lot. I'm also enjoying Arvo Pärt's Tabula Rasa and Fratres a lot. What would you all recommend to start out with? Should I continue with Beethoven or are there better places to start?I've read through the link here >>54896731 and it seems helpful, but I just need some composers to listen to in general. Thanks for any help!

>>54931245How would you rank Lachenmeme's?
Is Naxos the best classical label?
>>54931332unsure tbh, maybe gran torso top? that's the one i've heard more
>>54931417quality of albums: good to greatquality of album covers:absolute dogshit
>>54932532They're good. All you need is the composer, players, and a nice picture to go with it
>>54929383good shit
>>54928869wagner fucking sucks though.
>>54931417currently the best classical label in my opinion is harmonia mundi. for all time, its probably HMV/EMI
FPTMIU
>>54929323you're shitthe only way wagner got out of the recitativo trap was by making the whole opera feel like one
